## 1. Content Standards · Argue the impacts of the five major world religions on the development of societies and cultures through time.

- [The world contains many cultures, traditions](https://ai.page/c/the-world-contains-many-cultures-traditions/index.md): Understand that the world contains many cultures, traditions, and belief systems, and that learning about others' perspectives enriches our own understanding — developing genuine curiosity about and respect for cultural diversity

## 2. Content Standards · Argue the impacts of the establishment of major empires, smaller urban-based societies, and the ways they interacted with surrounding peoples.

- [Towns & Trade](https://ai.page/c/towns-and-trade/index.md): The growth of medieval towns: markets, guilds, the merchant class; how towns won charters of self-governance; the shift from purely rural to partly urban life

## 3. Content Standards · Analyze the development of early cities, states, and empires, and the role of trade between the entities.

- [Egyptian Timelines and Maps](https://ai.page/c/egyptian-timelines-and-maps/index.md): Read and construct historical timelines — place Ancient Egyptian periods, pharaohs, and key events on a timeline relative to each other and to the present day; interpret maps showing the Nile delta, trade routes, and the location of key sites

## 4. Content Standards · Explain the scale of time from today back to early humans.

- [Vocabulary: historical thinking](https://ai.page/c/vocabulary-historical-thinking/index.md): Know and use the vocabulary of historical thinking — source, evidence, primary source, secondary source, artefact, chronology, chronological order, BC/BCE, AD/CE, century, decade, era, period, timeline, excavation, archaeologist, interpretation, corroborate, bias, perspective — and apply these terms when discussing how we know about the past and how reliable our knowledge is
