journal: The Five Themes of Geography & The
Persian Empire

Five Themes of Geography:

• Location

• Place

• Movement

• Region

• Human-Environment Interaction

  Let’s apply the Five Themes of Geography to what we’ve
  learned about the Persian Empire. You will write a journal entry
  responding to ALL of the following prompts:

• In the introduction of this lesson, we learned about
  the Aryans. These people migrated from their homeland and settled in
  different parts of the world. Which of the Five Themes can you apply to
  this topic? Explain why you chose this theme.

• Review the map on page 12 of this lesson. When we
  look at maps, two themes are easy to consider. Which theme(s) come to mind? Explain
  why you chose this theme(s).

• We learned that when Cyrus II conquered Babylonia in
  539 BCE he freed the captive Jews. This was an unusual characteristic for
  a leader who was conquering neighboring lands and set the standard for the
  actions of the people of Persia during the rule of Cyrus II. This human
  characteristic can be related to which theme? Explain why you chose this
  theme.

• We learned that King Darius built the great ceremonial
  city of Parsa, or Persepolis. Which of the Five Themes can you apply
  to this information? Explain why you chose this theme.

  Organize your responses to each prompt into a journal
  entry and follow your teacher’s instructions to submit this assignment. Use
