Writing Assessment The Question: Islam spread as a part of a great empire built by conquering armies spreading out from Arabia. In time, it unified a region in much more than a military sense. That unity rested on Islam and its teachings. However, it also adapted to, absorbed, and built upon the accomplishments of the other great civilizations near it. Most of the primary source documents in this set of assessments illustrate this theme of unity and diversity in the rise of Islam. Your task is the use the sources in this packet and the discussions we have had in class to explain the way these Muslim societies achieve a dynamic cultural and intellectual diversity with the unity of Islamic belief and practice. Requirements: Write at least three paragraphs (4-5 sentences) listed ways Islam was able to achieve unity despite being so culturally diverse. Introduce each reason with a clear, well-defined central idea. Support your key ideas with evidence from the documents provided and with sound reasoning about that evidence. Include related outside information (class discussions, prior knowledge, etc.) based on your background knowledge of history. This is essentially like writing an essay, but we will not be including the introduction or the conclusion paragraphs.
