hello and thank you for checking out students of history this video is going to be a quick look inside the members area of students of history just in case you weren't sure what you'd be getting when you join so we would sign in here up on the top right hand corner and if you did you'd be brought to whichever curriculum packages you have and we have world history government and US history whichever one you sign up for will appear right here and click and with each curriculum as soon as you sign up you get access to every single unit at every single lesson all if you see here 159 lessons in US history mediate access to all of them when you're joined each is broken up into the different units from exploration all the way through modern America and each unit is broken down into the days throughout the unit so let's say you want to take a look at progressives and imperialism we'd start right there and then the days are there for you day one on the progressive era all the way through each unit will end with a day of review with some games some vocabulary review and online games and then the last day will be an editable assessment or test that you can give your students based on all the material that you covered and each day is has a very simple lesson plan that's easy to follow and then multiple downloads that you can use on the right-hand side and each lesson will be just like this they'll be recommended videos that go well with it editable Google Docs for digital learning will be there as well and multiple resources that you can choose from all the planning is done for you it's incredibly simple you really will never have to stress about lesson planning again we're awful also now adding flipped classroom lessons like this one here you'd see a flipped classroom that's a video presentation a lot like this one of a PowerPoint so let's say you're students who were absent and they missed a part of your class you could assign them this video and they could watch it and be totally caught up on that day's lesson and we have guided notes that go right along with it there's interactive notebook pages that they can use as well each of these lessons is based on a 90-minute period block classes so let's say you teach a 45-minute or 50-minute class a shorter class you could very easily break this up into two with the introductory PowerPoint and guided notes and maybe one one of these activities the first day and then continuing things on the second day very simple it's super easy to plant things out everything is there for you you even have you can navigate here through the top through each day throughout the lesson and you'd have everything right there for you lots of super engaging creative resources for you to use for each day throughout the year the same can be said for world history and American government if you wanted to look at world history it's starts from with prehistory all the way through the modern world a hundred and ninety-one individual lessons here in world history and just like with US history you have a lot of resources that let's say don't fit into a particular unit like warmups a syllabus that you can use daily warm-ups for each day this as restroom passes there there's also you sort resources that you can use throughout the entire school year like projects project-based learning review games lots of things here that you can do for each day throughout the year stuff to start off the year with back-to-school resources but the unit's just like in US history your units are broken out into the days ancient Rome starts off with early Rome lessons and goes all the way through the decline and fall of Rome and then a review day and a test and once again for each day you have a brief lesson plan with videos Google Docs and then downloads that you can use and keep here on the right-hand side oftentimes they'll be a Google Doc version of a PDF download so if you want to print it and use it with your students you could use the PDF if you want the Google Doc that's there as well that's great for if you want to make some small changes and edit it in any way American government just like the others you've got all your units right here you sign up for American government you get access to each one of these units and lessons throughout the whole year right away if you wanted to start with the executive branch you've got your lessons right here day one through day nine and the assessment all based on state standards common core standards that's going to cover everything that students need to know based off the state curriculum you've once again got videos you've got online resources and tools and games downloads here on the right-hand side that are super easy to use everything is explained simply for you you don't have to go through pages and pages of teacher directions everything is there for you it's incredibly simple to use easy to navigate if you just want to keep track as you're going when you finish this lesson you can mark it as complete and then you can very easily see where you left off and where you're where you are throughout the curriculum incredibly simple to use everything is there for you you never have to stress about lesson planning again everything can be done for you all these resources have been used successfully in classrooms for years and years but they've also been updated throughout the years to add some of the more the newer teaching strategies like flipped classroom like blended learning like digital notebooks and Google Docs and Google resources they're high-tech they're engaging they're captivating for students your students will love the lessons you'll love the lessons everything is going to be so simple you will not regret

all right a very good evening everyone and welcome to the continuation of the dfw society of the archaeological institute of america spring 2021 lecture i'm martin gallagher and i'm the president of the local society and i also teach latin classical mythology and classical archaeology here at unt the talk tonight by dr nicolaus overtome of washington state on ancient parthia is doing double duty as well thanks to the generous support of the department of world literature's languages and cultures here at unt and i want to expand or extend a special thanks on behalf of the dfw uh society and all of you uh to professor marin kaplan uh the chair of the department as well as uh the chair of uh the committee so as you all heard this meeting is being recorded and live streamed on our youtube channel however participants should refrain from using any of their own video or image capture and that allows us to safeguard the intellectual property uh of uh our presenter and uh so we ask that uh you respect that thanks very much uh for your cooperation the archaeological institute of america is america's north america's oldest and largest professional organization dedicated to the study of archaeology founded in 1879 and chartered by an act of congress in 1906 we continue to advance the study of archaeology in the public interest and we're unique as a professional organization is that in that it's a vital part of our mission to engage people at all levels not only professional archaeologists educators like ourselves but students and interested lay people and so we support all those groups as well as excavations publications research and site preservations and our programs and publications like tonight's lecture are all aimed at keeping you up to date with archaeological discoveries and research from around the world and you can read all about it in our engaging publications which again run the gamut of people interested in archaeology we have our very popular archaeology magazine with the readership of over 700 000 including in-depth stories and updates which are written in an accessible way but by professional uh archaeologists and if you want more your professional the american journal of archaeology is the world's leading journal uh particularly in the field of mediterranean archaeology but archaeology is not meant to only be done from an armchair so we also want to invite you to dig in and experience archaeology with the aia attend a lecture like this one an archaeology fair or other local events or if you're a student find an excavation on our extensive list of field work opportunities and if you're a layperson especially visit spectacular archaeological sites around the world with our tours program and indulge your passion for archaeology and join us and if it's not obvious that you're in the dfw area be sure to indicate in your membership that you want to support the dfw society and help uncover the past and perhaps experience the thrill of discovery yourself and also enjoy exclusive member benefits if you want to go further and support the work of the aia to make archaeology possible we are a non-profit and rely on the generosity of donors like you to support our mission this makes possible archaeological research site preservations publications and programs like tonight's lecture possible so the local society of the aia is led by myself and a number of people representing all of those constituencies including students and and interested lay people in the area please contact us with any comments or questions or suggestions on info at dfw archaeological.org before i introduce tonight's speaker i'd just like to remind you of a couple of upcoming lectures first of all our executive committee member elizabeth molichek on friday morning is is giving a museum seminar on the early acquisition classical right museums and so i'm very much looking forward to that uh uh go on the edith o'connell program in art history at the university of texas at dallas to register for that our next lecture will be by professor andrea berlin of boston university uh speaking about the crania shipwreck i know many of you are interested in shipwrecks burgeoning area of our field and we're very excited to welcome uh andrea berlin after uh her just before covet her flight was not allowed to land at dfw airport so we're glad to have her back as well we are also going to have a short reception as in the old days we would all be inviting you to mr chopsticks for a two-hour dinner but uh we can't quite do that so we do still want to give you an opportunity to chat less formally with the speaker so there will be a short reception in my zoom room you can see the address there below and also mention that in the in the in the chat uh so with that uh i'd like to invite uh dr uh overtune uh to share his screen yeah good i can i hope everyone else uh can as well uh it's my distinct privilege to welcome back uh to the university of north texas our alumnus uh dr nicolaus over to he was one of the first students to earn the minor in classical studies at the university of north texas and also took the full course of latin and french here and from there he went on to graduate degrees at the university of maryland and the louisiana state university culminating with his phd in i believe classical and middle eastern studies and excellent combination at lsu he's now the clinical assistant professor of history at washington state university sorry nick's talk tonight is stemming from his recent book the reign of arrows the rise of the parthian empire in the hellenistic middle east which has been published as part of the prestigious oxford studies in early empires series of oxford university press and nick also has several articles on hellenistic and roman history and so nick you're very welcome uh thank you for that um i'd like to start off by saying that i know we have a very mixed bag as far as attendees we have classicists we have linguists we have archaeologists we have just general audience and indeed some historians so i've tried to put together something that kind of ticks all of those boxes and hopefully satisfies all of you at least a little bit um and sort of introducing my work on the uh the parthians and parthian history in particular my talk today is titled understanding parthian success and reconstructing parthian history in the hellenistic world an introduction to the challenges of parthian scholarship and sources so again another thing i want to do is i want to make sure that i thank you all for this this opportunity i want to thank martin for that generous introduction it's my pleasure to participate in the dallas archaeological institute of america lecture series which is hosted by the university of north texas uh through indeed the world languages literatures and cultures uh department for their spring 2021 spring series i'd like to thank uh
