We are starting our Civilization Unit. Here is a very rough outline of all the important links, texts, sentence frames, gallery walk questions, and project description. This will change slightly as the year progresses. I just wanted to post what we have so far. Essential Questions: What is a civilization? How do key features differ between ancient civilizations? How do we design an experience for parents that showcases each group and allows for a natural crowd flow?

What sort of projects and buildings do you think the government would order? What famous examples are there from Mesopotamia? Why did you pick these? Project Idea: Living History that asks students to: answer questions as members of the civilization from parents/staff, recreate a facade of their civilization, make fake art, provide a city center, show how their government works, give many examples of job specialization, have their citizens work/act in their social classes, analyze a famous piece of writing from their civilization and then showcase it, and then have memorable buildings in the background of their space. Each student is responsible for: two of the eight features of a civilization, to collaborate with other cores to manage overlap (will choose from hat to ensure there are not five Parthenon facades), spoken (written) presentation, and their costume.
