    Introduction:
    We will be continuing our discussions about Empires this
    lesson, and today we will be focusing on the rise of empires
    in Eurasia from roughly 600-1500. The goal of this lesson
    is to identify why these empires grew and spread.

    For this lesson, you will be able to choose what Empire you
    would like to focus on. You may choose either the First
    Islamic Caliphate or the Mughal Empire.

    Step 1: Explore

    If you would like to focus on the First Islamic Caliphate, fully


    explore the following:
    ➢ Islam, the Quran, and the Five Pillars All
    Without a Flamewar: Crash Course World
    History #13
    ➢ The rise of Islamic empires and states
    ➢ Quran - The Night Journey (Primary Source Tip: what does this text say about crime and
    punishment? Would you consider this a description of a “justice system?)

    If you would like to focus on the Mughal Empire, fully explore the following:
    ➢ Mughal rule in India | 1450 - Present | World History | Khan Academy
    ➢ The Mughal Dynasty
    ➢ Introduction to the work, Babur and his various early victories and defeats, Babur's
    visit to Khurasan, rebellion in Kabul by Mirza Khan, Babur's victory (Primary
    Source Tip: Focus on how Babur intends to win the fight. Is it entirely military?)

    Step 2: Explain

    After exploring one of the two empires discussed in this lesson, it is now time to explain
    what you found. Explain three key aspects of your empire of interest’s rise and rule however
    you would like. In other words, identify at least three ways your empire acquired power and held
    onto that power once it established itself. You may explain this via short answer, an audio or video
    recording, poster, or whatever else you would like. Whatever you choose, the explanation must
    identify the key aspects and explain how those key aspects affected the empire.

    Upload your explanation to your Google Drive folder with the following title format:
    Lastname_Firstname_EmpiresExplainer

    Step 3: Share

    Once you have explained the three key aspects of your empire's rise and rule, it is time to share
    them! Upload the link to your explanation to this Padlet under the appropriate heading. Review 1-3
    explanations from students who chose to study the empire you did not. I.e, if you studied the First
    Islamic Caliphate, view 1-3 explanations about the Mughal Empire, and if you studied the Mughal
    Empire, view 1-3 explanations from the First Islamic Caliphate.

    Step 4: Reflect

    In the last portion of the Padlet, post a reflection. The reflection should answer two questions:
    1. Identify one difference and one similarity in the key aspects of rise and rule of the First
    Islamic Caliphate and the Mughal Empire.
    2. In your opinion, what is the most important key aspect of an empire? Why? Explain.
