Directions in this project, you will select four early river civilizations, from the following list: mycenaean, chinese, mesopotamian, egyptian, and the indus valley. make a graphic analyzer for each civilization, and use it to chart the different characteristics of each. analysis to sort out not only what aspects belonged to which culture, but also what aspects of a single culture led to something else. for example, one civilization might be settled between two rivers. this might have led to the cultivation of rice as well an advanced river culture. this, then, may have led to a robust boating and trading culture up and down the two rivers, which later brought the civilization wealth and, consequently, the need to militarize to protect its wealth from invaders. each of these characteristics would be in connected boxes on the graphic, to show which led to which.
