Read the Fine Print
This lesson begins a 5-day unit on achievements of the Islamic Golden Age. Students begin with a historical overview to learn the context and sequence of events that follow. Students need a framework for understanding the content on days 2-5. In this lesson, students will create a parallel timeline on which they can place political and cultural events that define Islam's foundational dynasties. The timeline can be used on successive days as context for Abbasid and Spanish achievements. Students will be able to construct a proportional, parallel timeline to compare political units. Students will be able to identify achievements of the Abbasid and Umayyad Dynasties.
