Энэхүү цуглуулга нь “AP World History: Modern” хөтөлбөрийн “I бүлэг: Дэлхий нийтийн сүлжээ” (The Global Tapestry)-д хамаарах улс гүрэн, соёл иргэншил, түүхэн үйл явдлуудыг багтаасан өгүүлэл, тодорхойлолт, газрын зураг юм.
Энэхүү эх сурвалж нь багш нарт зориулсан нэгдсэн гарын авлага болох бөгөөд газарзүйн хувьд алслагдсан нийгмүүд дэлхий даяар хэрхэн ижил төстэй болон ялгаатай замаар хөгжиж ирснийг судлахад шаардлагатай материалыг агуулдаг.
Багш нарт зориулсан санаанууд
- Бүс нутгуудын төрийн байгууламжийг харьцуулах нь: Сурагчдыг хоёр хоёроор нь хувааж, хоёр өөр улс гүрэн хэрхэн хөгжиж, эрх мэдлээ хадгалж ирснийг харьцуулсан “Венн диаграмм” зуруулах. Үүний тулд сурагч бүр холбогдох нэг өгүүллийг уншиж танилцсан байх шаардлагатай.
- Газрын зургийг харааны нотолгоо болгон ашиглах нь: “Монголын эзэнт гүрний газрын зураг” болон “Монголын эзэнт гүрний дөрвөн хаант улсын газрын зураг”-ийг зэрэгцүүлэн тавьж, ийм том эзэнт гүрэн яагаад богино хугацаанд задарсныг сурагчидтай хэлэлцэх.
- Нийслэл хотын дүрслэлийг судлах нь: Сурагчдад “Теночтитлан” болон “Теночтитланы уналт” өгүүллүүдийг уншуулж, Испанийн байлдан дагуулалтын өмнөх болон дараах хотын байдлыг тодорхойлуулах. Тэднээс хотын цар хүрээний талаарх баримтыг олж нотлохыг хүсэх.
- Аялагчдын замыг газрын зураг дээр мөрдөх нь: Марко Поло болон Ибн Баттута нарын аяллын замыг газрын зураг дээр харьцуулан тэмдэглэх. Энэ үйл явцад аяллын зам нь энэ бүлгийн бусад сэдэвтэй хэрхэн холбогдож байгааг тодорхойлох.
- Хар тахлын шалтгаан-үр дагаврын гинжин холбоо: Холбогдох газрын зураг, өгүүллүүдийг ашиглан Монголын худалдааны сүлжээнээс эхлэн тахал Европт хэрхэн хүрсэн, энэ нь феодализмын уналтад хэрхэн нөлөөлснийг мөрдөн судлах.
- Африкийн соёл иргэншлийг харьцуулах нь: “Их Зимбабве”, “Хаусаланд”, “Эфиопийн түүхэн дэх Соломоны угсааны залгамжлал” зэрэг өгүүллүүдийг ашиглан харьцуулсан хичээл бэлтгэх.

 <p>This collection gathers articles, definitions, and maps covering the states, cultures, and events related to <em>Unit 1: The Global Tapestry</em> of the <em>AP® World History: Modern curriculum. </em>This collection is a single resource for teachers, providing the materials needed to explore how geographically distant societies developed along both similar and differing paths across the globe.</p>&#13;
&#13;
<p>â¬‡ï¸ <em>Scroll down to see the collection!</em></p>&#13;
&#13;
<h3>Ideas for Teachers</h3>&#13;
&#13;
<ul>&#13;
	<li><strong>Compare state-building across regions:</strong> Divide your students into pairs and have them build a Venn diagram comparing how two different states developed and maintained power, based on their reading of the one relevant article each.</li>&#13;
	<li><strong>Use the maps as visual evidence:</strong> Put the <em>Map of the <a href=”/Mongol_Empire/” data-ci-uid=”1-17448-en”>Mongol Empire</a></em> and the <em>Map of the Four Khanates</em> side by side. Then have students discuss how and why such a large <a href=”/empire/” data-ci-uid=”1-99-en”>empire</a> broke apart in such a short period of time.</li>&#13;
	<li><strong>Examine a description of a capital <a href=”/city/” data-ci-uid=”1-45-en”>city</a>:</strong> Have students scan the <em><a href=”/Tenochtitlan/” data-ci-uid=”1-12114-en”>Tenochtitlan</a></em> and <em>The <a href=”/article/2028/the-fall-of-tenochtitlan/” data-ci-uid=”2-2028-en”>Fall of Tenochtitlan</a></em> articles for descriptions of the city (in the “before” and “after” states of Spanish <a href=”/warfare/” data-ci-uid=”1-223-en”>conquest</a>). Ask them to identify evidence to support a claim about the city’s scale.</li>&#13;
	<li><strong>Trace a traveler across the map set:</strong> Trace and compare <a href=”/Marco_Polo/” data-ci-uid=”1-17877-en”>Marco Polo</a>’s and <a href=”/Ibn_Battuta/” data-ci-uid=”1-17849-en”>Ibn Battuta</a>’s routes on the respective maps of their travels. Identify which other topics in this unit each of the routes passes through.</li>&#13;
	<li><strong><a href=”/Black_Death/” data-ci-uid=”1-17097-en”>Black Death</a> cause-and-effect chain:</strong> Using relevant maps and articles from the list below, trace how the <a href=”/disambiguation/plague/” data-ci-uid=”1-680-en”>plague</a> reached <a href=”/europe/” data-ci-uid=”1-35-en”>Europe</a> starting with <a href=”/Mongol_Empire/” data-ci-uid=”1-18492-en”>Mongol</a> <a href=”/disambiguation/trade/” data-ci-uid=”1-21-en”>trade</a> networks and how it led to the decline of <a href=”/Feudalism/” data-ci-uid=”1-17606-en”>feudalism</a>.</li>&#13;
	<li><strong><a href=”/disambiguation/africa/” data-ci-uid=”1-230-en”>Africa</a> comparison:</strong> The articles <em><a href=”/Great_Zimbabwe/” data-ci-uid=”1-16432-en”>Great Zimbabwe</a></em>, <em><a href=”/Hausaland/” data-ci-uid=”1-18189-en”>Hausaland</a></em>, and <em><a href=”/article/1875/solomonic-descent-in-ethiopian-history/” data-ci-uid=”2-1875-en”>Solomonic Descent in Ethiopian History</a></em> match the curriculum’s named examples, providing you with a perfect three-article group for a compact comparative lesson.</li>&#13;
</ul>&#13;
