Family Based Communities up to Kingdoms! (Week 3)


Last week in class, we discussed reasons for growth from family based communities to towns/villages to cities to kingdoms. You also examined this through your Ch. 12 Reading Notes.

Here is your question for this week:  Why would a group move from a family based community to a town/village? From a town/village to city? What would allow a group to become a kingdom? Things to consider: Ch. 12, Amazing Race, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

This week's blog should be a short paragraph.
