Ancient Civilizations, or Ancient World Cultures, are popular themes for most states in 6th Grade Social Studies.
This bundle addresses important topics in 6th Grade Social Studies such as Early Man, the River Valley Civilizations, classical Greece and Rome, West African Kingdoms, and more! From the first tools of early humans to the rise and fall of powerful empires, students get a comprehensive journey through the ancient world. If you are teaching historical topics that go as far back as, well, the Stone Age (literally!) this year-long social studies curriculum is for you.
Each unit has a student workbook that includes informational reading passages on key 6th Grade topics.
Annotation suggestions and built-in readings skills tasks will help enhance literacy development… all while learning important history! Hands-on activities are included for interactive and differentiated learning. And, for you? Teacher materials include Lesson Plans, Answer Keys, Assessments, and PowerPoints for teacher-led instruction, making planning simple and stress-free.
Do you have independent learners or homeschooled kids?
Google-compatible resources are included, and all units are friendly for student-centered settings. 😊 These digital-ready formats also make it easy to assign work remotely or use in a blended classroom setting.
There are many components in each unit that lend themselves to collaborative learning.
Study Guides can be used for partner work, and lesson closing activities- like think, pair, share- are great for group and whole class tasks! Two of my favorite options for group or partner work include the ‘Comparing World Religions’ resource, as well and the ‘End-of-Year Projects’ resource. Both resources encourage students to think critically and communicate their ideas with peers.
While this curriculum is best used in a 6th Grade Social Studies classroom, it can work with learners in neighboring grades as well. It provides you with a full-year of social studies material, requiring little-to-no prep on your end. Whether you’re a new teacher or a seasoned pro looking to refresh your curriculum, this bundle has you covered. Check it out!
