Course Description: In 6th grade social studies we will be exploring the evolution of early humans and the eventual development of agriculture, culture and technology. After studying the beginnings of civilization we will focus on the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Israel, China, Greece, and early Rome.  We will be using the TCI History Alive! curriculum which is designed to develop reading, writing, speaking, and critical thinking skills.
