# Overview

Give students an infographic that details four ancient civilizations --Nile River Valley, Indus River Valley, Huang He, and Mesopotamia. Have them choose two civilizations to compare and contrast by filling out a Double PERSIA graphic organizer. After they have completed the graphic organizer, ask them to define “civilization” based on the characteristics of the two civilizations they have studied.

## Teacher Notes

#### Asynchronous Instructions

Have students submit the completed Double PERSIA graphic organizer as an assignment. At the bottom of the graphic organizer, ask them to define “civilization” based on analysis of two ancient civilizations.

## Tech Integration

- Students are instructed to upload their PERSIA graphic organizer to the Analyzing Ancient Civilization activity. The submission type is configured to allow online submission and provides students with the option to upload a file or submit the document by sharing a URL.

Students may upload a variety of file types, but if you prefer a specific file type, you may update the Assignment settings.

If this assignment will be graded, update the Assignment settings and add a point value. We also recommend adding due dates to the activity. Learn how to update Assignment settings.
