With map-making activities you can not only teach students about ancient civilizations, but also incorporate geography into your lessons. As they label and color maps, students can learn about important places in ancient civilizations, chart trade routes, and learn how empires expanded (and fell) over time.
Primary Source Analysis
One of the best ways to learn about ancient civilizations is through the artifacts and writings of people from that particular period of time. Encourage students to analyze primary sources to gain a deeper understanding about bygone eras of history. For instance, you can have students read accounts of the destruction of Pompeii and discuss it as a class.
Centers & Stations
Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for each era in history. For example, you can have students navigate through four or five different centers or stations to help them learn about different aspects of Ancient Chinese culture, like literature, geography, government, and major historical events or achievements.
By making ancient history come to life through a variety of interactive and immersive activities, teachers can help students develop a deeper appreciation for the subject.
