Instructions:
You are going to take a journey in a Time Machine. Inscribed on the side are the letters MDLS, which stand for McClellan, Dorn, Lloyd, and Silva. When you climb inside you see that there are only eight settings: Greece, Alexandria, China, Islam, “The Enduring East,” “The Middle Kingdom,” “The New World,” and “Indus, Ganges, and Beyond.” Which one do you select and why? Who do you meet and what do you talk about? What scientific development from this era do you seek out to see for yourself? Why was this scientific development important to the culture of this time period? You will also research scholarly sources in the APUS library to learn more about the time and place you have selected.
