WELCOME to Ms. Brown's Social Studies of Ancient Civilizations. I am very excited to be your teacher—I look forward to getting to know you, and guiding you through your first year at McKnight. Learning about world history can be a LOT of fun, and I believe you will enjoy it. Not only will you build your critical thinking skills, reading comprehension and elaborative writing skills, but together we will inquire, explore, discuss, and learn about ancient civilizations so we can be better thinkers and problem solvers today. 

 I am looking forward to seeing what makes you curious about our past, and how many of the themes carry on today. We still struggle with concepts such as water rights, status of women and girls, child labor and lack of access to education, and slavery still exists in many forms, as well as human rights issues.

This is an interesting and challenging year for all of us as we learn in a remote platform. We will have a combination of Zoom sessions, pre-recorded videos, time to work as a class, small groups and individually. Additionally, there will be time built in to our afternoon to check in with me!

 Please check back regularly throughout the year for updates on this website.
