Classical Civilizations: Timeline Analysis and Periodization
Classic Civilizations
Bellwork:
Step 1: Make a timeline like the one below. Place five major events
that have happened in your life in chronological order.
Example for Mr. Lembke
Learned
to Ski
Graduated
High School
Married Wife
Bought Home
Started
Working
at West
Valley
Break your timeline up into three
periods
of
time. Label each
time period
(also known as
era
or
age
) with a name that describes what
the events during that time have in
common. For example you might label
something as “Childhood” or “Living in
Atlanta.”
1. How did you determine which events to group
together into a time period? Why did you choose
the names you chose for each time period?
2. If you gave your timeline to someone else
without the time periods marked, what other
ways might they break up the events in your life
into eras? How might their labels be different?

Periodization
-the process or study
of dividing the past into periods of
time and naming them
Some Examples of Time Periods:
“Best Years of My Life”
“The Dark Ages”
“The Golden Age of
Greece”
What do you think these
Era’s were like?
“Classical Age,” “The Classical Era,” “The Classical
Period,” or “The Age of Classical Civilizations.”
Pg. 3&4 of Packet
Classical Era/Period/Age (600 BCE- 900 CE)-
Period of time in which complex civilizations
expanded to establish large
land empires
and
were more
interconnected through trade
than
earlier civilizations. These civilizations made great
contributions to our collective learning as a result
of
golden ages
marked by prosperity. Most of the
major belief systems
that still impact our world
were established during this time.
1.
Which civilization controlled the greatest
amount of land in 500 BCE? Which region was it
located in?
2.
Which two civilizations labeled on the map were
closest to the Greek City States in 500 BCE?
3.
Which continent was the Han Dynasty on?
4.
Which group was in control of most of South
Asia around 200 BCE?
5.
How did the Roman civilization change
between 500 BCE and 200 BCE?
Which two civilizations controlled the greatest
amount of land in 200 BCE?
Identify the
three
continents that the Roman
Empire controlled land on.
Which civilization had control of most of South
Asia in 500 CE?
To travel from the Eastern Roman Empire to the
Persian Empire in which direction would a
merchant have to go?
What changed in Europe and East Asia between
200 CE and 500 CE?
How is power gained,
consolidated, maintained, and

Homework worksheet
India
What do you know about India?
What do you want to know about India?
India is a modern-day country
located in the region of Asia
known as South Asia.
Historically, the area referred
to as “India” was larger than
the country today and
included the land northwest of
the Indus River Valley which is
now part of Pakistan.
The
landmass that India is on is a
peninsula
. A peninsula is a
piece of land almost
surrounded by water.
India is
sometimes referred to as a
“subcontinent” because it is
large and juts out from Asia
into the Indian Ocean.
