One important process in human history was the transition from “hunter-gatherer” societies to settled “complex” civilizations. For this Milestone, you will identify the features of complex societies, analyze real historical examples, and discover how culture can shape civilizations.

Delivery:
This assignment consists of a six-paragraph essay and at least three images (which you will paste into your word document). You must use formal written communication, including organized paragraphs, full sentences, and correct grammar. You must also use parenthetical citations each time you take a fact from a source.

Step 1: Select ONE region to research from the list below:
East Asian Civilizations
Early American Civilizations
Islamic Civilizations

Step 2: Using Acro as your main source, write your essay as follows, incorporating information from your resources to support and strengthen your points throughout. Each paragraph should be 5-7 sentences:
Intro Paragraph – introduce the reader to the region you chose and explain what features your body paragraphs will cover.
Four Body Paragraphs:
Identify at least one of the major religions in the area. Introduce the origins of the religion and how it expanded throughout the region.
Investigate and describe the religion’s key teachings/beliefs, and any other interesting facts you discovered in your reading.
Identify one feature of complex civilizations (other than religion) that is evident in the region you chose – explain what the feature is, provide an example of the feature in the region, and evaluate why it is important to the region.
Select another feature of complex civilizations (other than religion) from the list you covered in class. Explain what the feature is, where it is evident in the region, and why it is important to the region.
Conclusion Paragraph – summarize the main strengths and weaknesses of the societies in the region you read about. Were these societies advanced enough to overpower others?

Step 3: Identify and insert at least three images showing “culture” in the region you chose. You may locate images anywhere online, but you must include a citation and typed caption for each picture. The caption should explain what the image is and what it tells us about your region’s culture.  It is BEST if images are INTEGRATED in the text of the document, not a quick “add on”, but thoughtfully considered.

*Remember, you should be showing culture from the historical era you read about (for example, if you read about the Americas, you would look at Incan/Mayan/Aztec or other native cultures, not American culture in the present day).

find one (1) specific face mask used by an indigenous group to share with the class. You should title your initial post with the name of the mask or the indigenous group associated with it, and do all of the following in your initial post:

– Provide an image of, or link to the mask.
– Explore the design and materials of the mask, noting any significance of these elements.
– Identify who in the group used the mask and in what ways.
– In 200 words, discuss how the mask is an important part of the ritual practices of this group.

There are two ways to find a mask to highlight. The first is to identify an indigenous group you are interested in (see Chapter 2 of the textbook for the most common groups), and then research the types of masks they used in religious rituals. The second is to browse the masks that are currently in museums. Here are just a few examples (keep in mind not all of the masks illustrated at these sites are associated with indigenous groups, so be sure you are selecting one that is appropriate for this assignment):

The Metropolitan Museum
Smithsonian National Museum of African Art
Cleveland Museum of Art

Please note: Please provide two academic sources. You are required to do research in association with each of the discussion topics so that you can provide well-informed opinions and accurate information. For example, in this topic you would want to explore the mask and the culture that created it using multiple sources. Ensure that you provide original writing (do not copy the words of your sources) and that the citations are in proper MLA (Modern Language Association) citation format: MLA Format

I can provide textbook writings for reference.
