Ancient India: Geography & Climate of the Indian Subcontinent PowerPoint

Introduce your students to the climate and geography of the Indian subcontinent with this colorful and informative slide show presentation.

Geography and Climate of the Indian Subcontinent is the first 22 out of 213 slides from my teaching unit ANCIENT INDIA and the Indus River Valley Civilization PowerPoint Presentation . It highlights the major geography and climate patterns of the Indian subcontinent. This is an excellent resource to use either on its own or to supplement the text book. This presentation incorporates the ELA Common Core Standards for Literacy in Social Studies using:

-academic vocabulary and concepts

-pair share and class discussions

-academic writing activities

I have been using this presentation with my students for the several years (and have shared it with other teachers). All the students have really enjoyed the visuals and the interactive nature built into the presentation. Everyone who has used this presentation reports that their students were highly focused and engaged during the lesson.

Product Format:

PowerPoint Show created with Microsoft 10

If you have a recent edition of Microsoft, you will be able to access the presenter’s notes on the slides. These notes give extra background information, references, and suggestions for movies, books, and interactive web sites on Ancient Indus River civilization. To check this feature out, when you preview the presentation right click and look for the presenter’s notes; if your software supports this feature, it will be available to you.
