Discuss the Persian Wars, explaining what they were, when and why they occurred, and what the results were for Persia and for the Greek polis.
What will be an ideal response?
Ans: The questions What? When? Why? and So what? provide a useful framework for organizing historical information. Look for an awareness of multiple causality and both proximate results (the Greeks won, the Greek cultural heritage was saved for posterity) and long-term results (the rise of the Athenian Empire, war with Sparta). Students might also mention more long term results, such as the survival of democratic forms of government.
