Unit Overview
The world in 1750 was marked by powerful Eurasian states and empires, coastal African kingdoms, and growing European maritime empires. The interactions of these states, empires, and kingdoms disrupted regional trade networks and influenced the development of new global trade networks.

These resources introduce students to the concepts and vocabulary they will encounter in the unit.
Through these resources, students will compare and contrast the Mughal Empire and the Ottoman Empire in 1750 in terms of religious and ethnic tolerance, political organization, and commercial activity, explore the methods used by the Tokugawa Shogunate to gain, consolidate, and maintain power, and examine the reactions of the Mughal Empire and Tokugawa Shogunate to European “outsiders.”

Our units are developed through a backwards design process in which we start with the summative assessments and then create resources and formative assessments based on the content and skills students will need to be successful (See Understanding by Design by Grant Wiggins and Jay McTighe). We encourage teachers to start their planning by looking first at the end of unit assessments and then at specific resources.
Educators who need to access the teacher materials must first fill out the following access form. Once verified and added to the assessment access list, the materials can be accessed below and anywhere else on the New Visions website. Educators only need to fill out the form once.
