Hi teacher friends, Ancient Civilizations has to be my favorite curriculum to teach. I find the ancient world fascinating, with all the different traditions, inventions, rituals, building structures, gods and goddesses.

Students will learn about ancient China’s geography, religion, achievements, politics, economy, and social structures during this fun activity. First, they’ll rotate around the classroom to find fact cards about ancient China. They’ll transfer critical information from the cards to their poster worksheets. Finally, they’ll glue their work together to make a doodle poster shaped like an ancient Chinese temple. Oh, and they’ll fill their posters with doodles as they complete 5 different doodle tasks as they learn. The doodle element of the poster makes this activity especially engaging. After students collect the facts and create their doodle poster, they can color in their work. As students color over their learning, they’ll have another opportunity to interact with the information. You might use this resource as an introduction to a unit on ancient China, or this works great as a review of the unit before a final assessment. This activity lends itself to a fun classroom display as well! The poster’s extra-long size makes it unique too!

Right now I’m in the process of creating a series of STEM projects for students who are studying Ancient Civilizations.. First stop, Ancient Mesopotamia! Ancient Civilizations has to be my favorite curriculum to teach. I find the ancient world fascinating, with all the different traditions, inventions, rituals, building structures, gods and goddesses.
Ancient Civilizations have long been my favourite units to teach. I remember loving them when our teacher taught us about them in Middle School, they were some of my favourite courses I took in university, and I still love teaching them today. Mesopotamia is always a fun one to teach, simply because a lot of it is still really new to the kids; a lot of them have background information about Egypt, Greece, and Rome, but very little about Mesopotamia. I feel like I am working with a blank slate when it comes to teaching about this period of history. For a good introduction, and to build excitement about the unit to come, I feel you can never go wrong with Crash Course World History. This is a great one of their videos about Mesopotamia. I always like doing a map with the kids at the start of a unit. It's a great opportunity to work in some geography skills, and is a good way to ensure the kids know the area we are actually talking about. I am always alarmed with how few of them are able to use an atlas and label areas on a map - definitely an area we need practice on. We spend a lot of our unit talking about farming, as the fertile crescent really is Mesopotamia in a nutshell. Vocabulary is usually where we start. I really love this vocabulary foldable, as it allows the kids to flip and quiz each other on the words. Reading about the farming of the fertile crescent is our next step. I am not a fan of our current textbooks, as it feels like they were written during the dark ages and are totally not engaging for the kiddos. I use these reading passages instead. They have questions and annotation activities to go with them, which is helpful. After reading, we make a fun foldable about the facts the kids find most important. We share our answers at the end - it is interesting to see what different facts stuck with each kid. If you are looking for these and other fun activities to do with your own class, be sure to check out some of my Mesopotamia Unit resources below!

Introduction The ancient civilization of Sumer, is one of the earliest civilizations in human history. The Sumerians were a people who lived in Mesopotamia, the land between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers, around 4000-2000 BCE. They achieved impressive technological advancement, including the development of writing, mathematics, and astronomy. Their social structure consisted of a ruling
Right now I’m in the process of creating a series of STEM projects for students who are studying Ancient Civilizations.. Next stop, Ancient Israel! I never heard of Masada until I began researching Ancient Israel for this project. Masada is described as King Herod’s desert fortress in the sky. It was built between 37 and 15 BCE.
The Annunaki were believed to be a race of beings who came from the heavens to colonize Earth. They were said to be incredibly advanced, possessing technology beyond our current understanding. Some even believe that they were responsible for the creation of humanity as we know it. While the legacy of the Annunaki is shrouded in mystery, there are several theories about their impact on human civilization. One theory suggests that they played a role in the development of early human cultures, including the Sumerian civilization. The Sumerians believed that the Annunaki were responsible for teaching them agriculture, writing, and other important skills. Another theory suggests that the Annunaki were responsible for the creation of the ancient pyramids of Egypt and other ancient structures around the world. Some believe that these structures were built with the help of advanced technology that was provided by the Annunaki. ************************* Full PDF version of this entire E-Book, is available for instant download.
