Skills to Learn: Basic Map Skill Review Modern Julian Calendar Name the Century Name the Time Span

  Any maps are broken down into a grids so that you can find the location.  The two type of lines that make the grid on a map are called:  Longitude Lines: Vertical Lines that span East and West of the Prime Meridian.  Latitude Lines : Horizontal Lines that span North and South of the Equator.  Exact Location - A specific position figured out by using longitude and latitude. (Example 22’ North 45’ West)  Relative Location - A general location described by a non- specific geographic region. (Example Asia, Africa, North America) Maps and How to Use Them

 History and Rules of the Modern Julian Calendar  History:  Named for the Roman Emperor Julius Caesar  Rules of the Modern Julian Calendar  There is no year Zero (0)  Every Century begins with a year ending in a ONE (1)  Every Century ends in a year ending in double zero (00)  The calendar is split into two periods of time B.C. and A.D.  As time moves forward the years decrease in B.C. time  As time moves forward the years increase in A.D. time  Decades = 10 Years  Centuries = 100 years  Millennium = 1000 years

 Modern Julian Calendar Leads to: 1

 Figuring Out The Century and Time Span  Name The Century  Take the year given, in this case 1450 B.C.  Take the number 1450 and divide it between the tens and hundreds place  Cross out the units and tens place… 1450 add one to the remaining number to get your answer.  1450 B.C. is in the 15 th Century B.C.  Name The Time Span  Take the given Century, in this case 12 th Century A.D.  To figure out the time span we figure out the end year first.  To do this we take the number of the Century 12 and add two zeroes to it 1200= end year.  To figure out the beginning year subtract ninety-nine from the end year =1101  Place the numbers in order from beginning to end and label.  12 th Century B.C.= B.C.

Characteristics of Civilizations

 Requirement #1 A civilization should control their environment (to some extent) Requirement #2 A civilization should have a dense population in a small area Requirement #3 Not all people can be farmers and herders. There must be Job Specialization. Job Specialization means people are engaged in many different activities other than trying to supply their own food from day-to- day Three Requirements of Civilization

 Ten Characteristics of Civilization

1. Urban Society Living together in communities

2. Religion -Beliefs that provide answers to ‘unanswerable’ questions -Why are we here? -What is our purpose? -Why do things happen?

3. Literacy - A form of written language is used.

4. Government - Having a set of rules, leaders, or organization to society. Providing safety and security for the people (i.e. police, military etc.)

5. Social Classes - Groups of people with common characteristics

6. Job Specialization - Using unique skills to benefit all.

7. Technology/Tool Making - The ability to problem solve and create specialized instruments to answer and alleviate everyday problems.

8. Concept of Time/ Development of Calendar - Understanding of patterns like the seasons, sunrise and sunset or tides are used to societies benefit

9. Education/Criticism - Striving to improve as an individual or as a culture.

10. The Humanities -The branches of learning (such as philosophy or languages) that investigate human constructs and concerns, as opposed to natural processes. i. As society develops study of the following subjects becomes commonplace: 1. Art 2. Music 3. Ethics : (Determining what is right and wrong… appropriate and inappropriate) 4. Religion 5. Jurisprudence : (What are the ethics and morals that effect our laws and justice) 6. Language Arts (i.e. Literature, Poetry, Linguistics) 7. Philosophy 8. Rhetoric : (How to Communicate) 9. History
