This year, we will explore ancient history, guided by the Grade 6 Social Studies Department Standards.
We’ll begin by building a strong understanding of what history and geography are, how they influence one another, and how people both shape and are shaped by them.
Our Ancient Civilizations course will take us from prehistoric times through the rise of the first civilizations in Mesopotamia. We will also study the growth of other great early civilizations across the world, including ancient Egypt, India, China, and Greece.
Beyond learning historical facts, we will focus on developing important skills—such as reading and writing, critical thinking, public speaking, and more—that will help you think like a historian.
