The Creation of an Arab Empire

On Friday 7th, Dec. we discussed the spread of Islam and the creation of a political empire based on Islam and Arab rule. If you were absent, you will need to do the following to make up what you missed:


1) Turn in your 1 page paper from last time about Muhammad.

2) Read the first part of Chap 6 Section 2 - pages 192-194 and complete the assignment.

Assignment: The Creation of an Arab Empire

3) read the remainder of Chap 6 Sec 2 and fill in the notes sheet. It is important for you to read the section so you understand the main ideas; however, you may copy notes from a friend, for any notes you can not find.

Notes: The Abbasids and Seljuk Turks

Thanks.
