Direct Instruction: After completion of the MC Questions, we will go over the PERSIAN charts they received for homework about the three different gun powder empires. The essays which were handed back last week were also discussed after the MC questions because of the lack of attention to analysis and evidence which resulted in the grades the students received. After this, we went into the powerpoint on gunpowder empires. 
Student Practice/Application: Filling out the remaining/empty charts on the PERSIAN charts about the Safavid, Mughal and Ottoman Empires.
Summary/Closure: Review about Fall of Byzantine Empire, spread of Dar Al Islam, Mongol conquest starting with Genghis Khan, Impact of the trade routes and gunpowder technology spreading West throughout the Golden Age of Islam.
Formative Assessment: Thesis statement at the bottom of the PERSIAN chart, along with the completed chart.
