Analyze Historical Trends Across A Time Period
This outcome focuses on the idea of historical trends across a time period whereas the former objective emphasized themes within a time period. When looking within a time period, we looked at what was happening within one civilization at a certain point in time; all of the civilizations made contributions that lasted beyond their own time period and helped future generations. These contributions helped define the Classical Period for each of the civilizations discussed. During the Post-Classical Period, we will study trends across civilizations because there will be more periods of interaction between these civilizations in terms of trade and cultural exchanges than ever before. Now instead of thinking about what is happening in just one region at one time, you should start thinking about what is happening across multiple regions and how that ultimately allows for exchange of ideas and trade.
What Is The Post-Classical Period?
The post-classical era (500 C.E. to 1500 C.E.) is period of readjustment for many civilizations. While it marks the end of the classical civilizations, some elements will remain. For example, the Christian Church in Europe remains strong even after the fall of the Roman Empire. The early centuries of the post-classical period are characterized by internal power struggles, external invasions, or a combination of the two while the later part of this time period is characterized by societies trying to restore political and social order. As societies attempt to reorganize and stabilize, there is a re-emergence of regional trade and beginning of trade connections with other civilizations. Religion plays a big role in the exchange of ideas as Christianity, Islam and Buddhism push beyond their places of origins and enter into new realms. In some places, we are still living with some of the social, economic and cultural legacies of the post-classical period. As we go through each of the post-classical civilizations, think about some of these larger themes and consider what is happening at the same time in other places. For example, if you are reading about China think about what is happening in Western Europe at the same time. This gives you a broader perspective and allows you to compare things chronologically. Remember nothing occurred in a vacuum.

What do I want you to do?
Choose one of the following civilizations to make an annotated timeline: Byzantine Empire, Islamic Empire, Russia, Medieval Europe, Mongol Empire and Chinese Dynasties/Empires.
In your annotated timeline, you will cover the following topics: Religion, Politics/War, Social Structure and Trade. When you do not have exact dates, then use decades or centuries and the topic as your heading. Then explain the who, what, where, when, why and how of the topic.
Be sure to use the readings that I have assigned for the civilization. The assigned readings are in the reading assignment folder.
Write everything in your own words. Do not use quotes as a substitute for your own words. Be sure to include the source in parentheses at the end of the paragraph.
Citations should look like Mclean, pg. # and/or video title and timestamp.

Why do I want you to do it?
This learning outcome has focused on the historical themes during the post-classical period. You will create a timeline for one of the post-classical periods list above.
How do I want you to do it?
You need to make an annotated timeline. You can do it the simple way or the table way. If you have questions, email your competency facilitator. Remember the timeline is an annotated one so you need to include an explanation for every date and it’s corresponding event.
Simple Way
Use Microsoft Word or Google Docs and type the following:
Date/Time Period — Event
Explanation of the Event goes under the date/time period and event
Table Way
In Microsoft Word or Google Docs, click the insert tab and put in a table. You’ll only need two columns: one for the date and one for the event and explanation. Click here to learn how to insert a table. Click here to learn how to add columns and rows to your table.
What to include in your submission
Your assignment submission should include:
Create 1 annotated timeline that reflects the development of one of the following civilizations: Byzantine Empire, Islamic Empire, Russia, Medieval Europe, Mongol Empire and Chinese Dynasties/Empires.
You must use the sources provided. Do not use outside sources or ChatGPT or an AI program.
Start the milestone with an introduction about the importance of the post-classical period for the civilization you choose.
Create an annotated timeline. Be sure each entry in your annotated timeline includes a date/time period, an event and then an explanation of the event. The explanation should explain the who, what, where, why and how of the event, person or idea. Why is it important?
You should end each entry in the annotated timeline with a transition sentence that ties it to the next event and in the beginning of the next event you should have a sentence that continues explaining how the events connect and link to the larger event. These are called transition sentences. Click here to learn more about transition sentences.
You will need an introduction that includes a thesis and a conclusion that ties all of the events together and discusses how one event leads to the next.
You should write in complete sentences and use proper grammar and spelling.
Your annotated timelines together should have at least 400 words.
You need to cite the sources from the learning activities. Include the page numbers from the textbook or the title of the videos and the time stamp or the title of any other articles used in the competency. Do not use outside sources.
Citations should look like Mclean, pg. # and/or video title and timestamp.
