Polybius?
Greek General
Taken hostage by the Romans
Student of Socrates
None of the above
4.- Explain
What is the difference between
cuneiform and an alphabet?
Cuneiform represented syllables with
symbols, while the alphabet uses other kind
of symbols (letters) to represent
sounds, such as vowels and consonants.
5.- Infer
Why do you think people settled in the
Fertile Crescent. What characteristics
made it so special?
Because of the fertility of it’s soil. The land
was rich in nutrients, water was available
and this conditions led to the development of
agricultural centers which evolved into
villages and eventually cities.
6.- Describe
Describe which elements did the Hittites
use in battle.
They used better iron weapons, which were
stronger than any other at the time. Also, the
battle chariot represented a new
development in warfare that caused fear in
the enemy and was very effective.
7.- Relate
Find the relation between the following
terms, according to what we have
learned in class, and write a complete
paragrapah: Neolithic revolution –
agriculture – surplus.
During the Neolithic, there was a revolution
in the way humans lived and it was caused
by the development of farming. Humans
now could produce more than what they
could consume, creating a surplus. This
caused a population growth, the advent of
trade and civilization!
8.- Understand
Using your own words, explain with an example what is Bias; and also state why we must avoid it when we write about history.
If two countries fight a war between each other, journalist or historians from each side will write in a way in which their own country looks more heroic, like a victim or like the “good guys”. It is very important for us to avoid it in order to give a more neutral point of view of history.
