Social Studies Terminology.pptx
Welcome to Ancient History! My hope is that you will learn to appreciate ancient history as we learn about and experience ancient civilizations. We will use many online resources, a few good old fashioned books, music and songs, art, and even dance to experience cultures around the world.
We will focus on these five basic concepts first, and they will be applied to each unit of study:
GEOGRAPHY
HISTORY
CULTURE
GOVERNMENT
ECONOMICS
The ancient civilizations we will "experience" are:
Early Humans
Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East
Asian Civilizations
African and Islamic Kingdoms and Empires
Civilizations of the Americas
Classical Cultures of Greece and Rome
Medieval Madness
Your student's homework assignments are available in three places: in their agendas, on this Canvas page, and on the board in my classroom. Please give your child the responsibility of showing you his or her agenda each evening.This is a very helpful tool of communication for all of us.
