Life Long Ago and Today with Depth & Complexity

Life Long Ago vs Life Today (This unit has been updated 11/13/2018)

Enjoy this social studies standards based unit. This will be a great companion for your books on life long ago.

I embed Depth and Complexity prompts/icons and Depth of Knowledge in all my products. The included standards are based on the California State Standards but I am sure they are similar to other state standards. This is NOT limited to California teachers but a great social studies primary resource.
