Club Information
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
