    civilization?
    Instructions:
    1) Walk around the room and examine the vignettes
    2) Using your table, summarise what each
    characteristic is, in column 1.
    3) For column 2, try to come up with an example of
    that characteristic, or if your background knowledge
    is lacking, see the list of Ancient Civilizations of the
    board to try and find an example using Google.
    Brain Break
    What Makes a Civilization?
    The Ancient CIvilization of Greece has been studied by basically every school
    student in western schools, since schools existed. The reason for this is that Western
    Civilization considers Ancient Greece worthy of study, because it is a very complex
    society. By learning about Ancient Greece, we are actually learning about how
    Western Civilizations works, and all of its characteristics. In this way, Ancient Greece
    exemplifies Ancient Western Societies. The questions is, what other Ancient
    societies do you think are worthy of study, and which characteristics make them so
    interesting and complex?
    Instructions:
    1) Use Google to find 1 ancient civilization that you think exemplifies what it means
    to be a ‘complex society’.
    2) Write a claim explaining which 2 characteristics are the most important for a
    society to be seen as complex.
    3) Copy and paste your claim onto a Google Slide, with related images, then share
    Ancient Aboriginal
    For Example… Civilization
    For a society to be complex enough to be considered a
    civilization, it must have the following characteristics: a
    complex social structure, and a powerful artistic
    tradition.

    For example, the Aboriginal civilization of Australia is a


    complex society because it had a complex system of
    kinship, built around the raising of a child. Every person
    knew their role in raising a child relative based on a
    shared clan or totem. For example, an uncle who
    shared the same totem as a nephew would be
    responsible for teaching them about nature.

    Aboriginal civilization also has complexity in its art.


    Aboriginal art, which has techniques passed down over
    generations, was used to express knowledge about
    nature, history, and the kinship system described above.
    The artwork you see here represents the paths that
    ancestors took to hunt and forage.
