You will get to explore Europe by focusing on the role ancient civilizations played in setting the foundation. Ancient Greece and Rome created types of government still seen today, the way they used the land to their advantage helps us see the important of geography, and the cultures continue to influence our social system.
After looking at the PEGS of ancient civilizations we will turn to the way Europe was left when Rome fell by tracing the events from the Middle Ages to the Cold War. You will research one time period by focusing on important events and how this time period shaped Europe today. Then you will debate about which time period was most important.
The summative assessment will allow you to focus on one country to determine how the country was important to the overall development of Europe. You will need to focus on one time period/event that was crucial to the country and how TWO system of PEGS contributed to the development of the country.
If you want to work with a partner, you need to complete all the systems of PEGS and more than one time period/event OR complete the requirements for the summative with two countries.
