In Grades 6 and 7 this year we will explore the major ancient civilizations of the world.
We will begin by studying the complex societies that existed thousands of years ago, beginning with the Paleolithic and Neolithic civilizations.
Next, we explore the amazing regions of North Eastern Africa including the Kingdoms of Egypt and Nubia. Excitement awaits!
By examining different civilizations, students learn about the characteristics of a society including the aspects of government, economy, religion and art which existed there.
We will also investigate the ways in which complex societies interacted with each other and spread ideas from one region to another.
