 * My unit is about the expansion and interaction of the civilizations of Europe, the Middle East and the Americas, in the time period between of 600 A.D. and 1450 A.D. This unit is about empathy: empathy for the people that lived in ancient and medieval times and an appreciation for how they saw time and space differently, for how individuals saw themselves in terms of what they owed to other people rather than human rights, how the group was more important, and how violence and uncertainty were fixtures of everyday life. Battles, dynasties and wars are used as benchmarks of time for social changes. To achieve this, the students will read first-hand accounts of life in ancient times, look at tool used in everyday chores, look at what was in a typical village, and will even role-play as ancient and medieval people.
