Fall of Empires

Fall of Empires - I have included a sheet of directions for the tasks that follow.

What caused the fall of Empires? Will this happen to the United States? What can be done to prevent the fall of empires and civilizations? Why do we care about what happened to empires? How does this relate to our world today?

When you are done with task 1 you will submit your projects here.

To assist with Task 3 - use the Notecard form to organize your information to help you prepare for our in class discussion and your final write up.

Task 1 - create a flow map/graphic organizer of the fall of Rome. Use the Fall of Han as your example.

Task 2 - create a comparison between the fall of Rome and the fall of Han empires. This could be a double bubble. What do they have in common?

Task 3 - How does America compare to the ancient empires? Could America see the same ending as these empires? Create a MEL-Con discussing your answer.

This task requires knowledge about America's current status --

We will all find and share information about these topics by posting ideas in a google group as well as in class discussing our findings on the topics.

Equipped with this knowledge, you will be better able to answer the question about America's fate.
