The supplies I have requested for my project will be used to make a "passport" for each of my 180 students with pages where they will describe their "travels" to the Ancient World- Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece and Rome.
They will record details of the Civilizations using the framework of the 5 Themes of Geography. I am developing "stamps" for each civilization so that I can stamp their passports at the conclusion of each "visit". We will also be discovering (making), as archeologists, an artifact on each one of our stops. For example, in Mesopotamia, students will "discover" clay tablets with cuneiform writing on them.
A resource that a colleague had last year was Flocabulary. The videos for 6th grade Ancient World history were fantastic! The songs help hook students’ interest in the subject. The resources for learning the vocabulary will be great for all my students, but especially the English Language Learners who may struggle with some of the more specific terms. I want ALL my students to access these concepts.
After being in lock-down for the past year, it will be great to do some traveling!!
