Over the course of the unit, we will be going through different sections of the textbook in class. Whenever we start a reading, the questions will be due the next day and there will be a reading checkpoint made available after school for homework (unless there are other instructions). The attached Google Forms correspond to a specific topic/lesson in the textbook.
Achievements of Islamic Civilization
As Islam spread to many different lands, a distinctive Muslim culture developed. Muslims in different regions combined Arab culture and Islam with the Persian, Byzantine, Indian, and other cultures that existed before the coming of Muslim rule. Muslim scholars shared ideas and learned from Christian and Jewish scholars. Together, they studied ancient writings from Greece, Persia, and India. This collaboration led to advances in science, mathematics, philosophy, medicine, and the arts.
