6th Grade Social Studies: Ancient India – Age of Empire: Research and Report

Introduction:
India went through a period that was known as its “empire” period. The time period from roughly 320 B.C, or the beginning of the Gupta era until the end of the Mauryuan empire in about 232 B.C, saw the country experience great unity, prosperity, and cultural, scientific and technological advances. Historians sometimes see this era as the classical period in Indian History.

Task: Use the resources listed below to learn more about the Gupta and Mauryuan Empires in India. Take careful notes as you read. Then use the word processing program to write a 4-7 paragraph report about the “empire” period of Indian history. You should include at least one illustration or map with your report.
