So...

We are counting down VERY quickly to the AP exam.  You should be studying at least a little bit every day--this is not an exam that is cram-able.  We've been working on some big picture kinds of things, and will continue to do so, but we'll also be moving on to cover writing...you lucky things, you!  That's the plan for most of the coming week, so plan accordingly.  Do your best to be in class every day...

Your task this week is the following...pick a civilization...any civilization...and explain in rich, specific detail why that civilization is the most significant one EVER.  Because I know that you will do a spectacular job with this, I'll make the question a little more difficult.  You may not select any society that: a) is currently in existence, b) has been in existence in Europe/North America in the last 250 years, c) ends with an "n".  (OK--that last one's a joke...lighten up!)  At bare minimum, your response should include at least 4 solid reasons why your civilization is the most significant...think about things like intellectual and scientific contributions, technological innovations, etc.

Have fun!!!
