This new social studies resource includes:

primary and secondary sources
factors that influenced ancient civilizations to settle in specific areas: geographical locations, geographical features (rivers, elevation, soil conditions, coastlines, climate), changes to the environment that cause people to move or adapt (deforestation, flooding, desertification), changes to infrastructure such as building structures to move water (aqueducts), protect citizens (walls), improve travel (roads and bridges) or increase trade (shipbuilding)
mapping the civilizations: map skills like elevation, longitude, latitude, hemispheres, using a legend
specific details about the locations, features, infrastructure and environment of Ancient Egypt, Ancient Greece, Ancient Rome, Ancient China, Ancient India and Ancient Arab civilizations used in a concept-based format so you can choose which civilizations you will study while students learn enduring outcomes
comparing the influences of settlement between civilizations
a detailed lesson plan with easy to read formatting.
instructions for how to use our activities with or without technology so you can be flexible for your students and classroom environment.
instructions for printing student workbooks while still offering differentiated options.
a variety of activities that keep students engaged while learning.
detailed outlines of each activity with a list of materials along with a centralized list and reminders in each section of the lesson plan.
