By creating this visual image, you’ll be demonstrating your understanding of what caused these powerful empires to decline.Process1.Review the causes of collapse that you’ve learned about in this lesson. Choose three or four causes that you think were the most important, and list them below:2.Create a drawing using a metaphor or symbol to represent the collapse of empires. For example, a drawing could include a sinking ship with each hole or broken sail representing a cause of collapse.Add labels to your image with the causes of collapse you chose. Indicate whether they are internal or external problems (label with an “I” or “E”). 3.Write a sentence that explains what your drawing shows and how it represents the causes that bring about the collapse of empires.
