In this class, students will be learning about Ancient World Civilizations, starting with early humans up until African Empires and civilizations.  Students will engage in class discussions, class activities, online review games and a culminating project. 
 
This is a full semester class.  We meet 1 time per week.  

All materials needed for class will be shared via the Outschool online classroom prior to class.  I use Google Classroom folders and will be sharing through that platform.  All activities and handouts can be accessed digitally, but if paper versions are requested, I am happy to provide that format as well. Some students prefer paper and pencil handouts.

The topics covered will be as follows:

Week of August 18: Pre-history: Early Man and migration
Week of August 21: Pre-history: Paleo and Neolithic Human Societies
Week of August 28: Ancient World: Mesopotamia
Week of September 4: Ancient World: Egypt
Week of September 11:: Ancient World: Egypt Mythology
Week of September 18: Indus River Valley Civilizations
Week of September 25: Ancient World: China
Week of October 2: Ancient World: Greece
Week of October 9: Ancient World: Greek Mythology
Week of October 16: Ancient World: Rome
Week of October 23: The Byzantine Empire
Week of October 30: African Empires
Week of November 6: Early American Civilizations
Week of November 13: Student Choice
Week of November 27 and December 4: Projects - Students will plan a trip around the world, visiting the civilizations that we talked about in class.  Projects will be done via Google Slides and will include mapping their travel route, taking "selfies" with popular landmarks and ancient ruin sites, and sending postcards to family and friends.  Students will be presenting their projects the week of December 11.

Materials needed: Students will need a notebook, pen or pencil, and if a handout is requested instead of a digital handout.  All materials and handouts needed will be posted in Google Classroom every Sunday before the week starts so students are aware what they will need for that particular class.
