Ancient History – Ancient Review

Description

History: it’s not always everyone’s favorite subject. The word “boring” has been said about history class quite a bit. That’s where Exploring Ancient History comes in! In this
class, students will be exposed to different Ancient Civilizations and have the opportunity to create projects to give a deeper understanding of each civilization.

This packet contains a lesson that covers the Ancient Greece time period in ancient history for students ages 10 and up. These lessons can be done independently from other Exploring Ancient History lessons by Let’s Homeschool Together. However, it is recommended to get all the classes in order to get a fuller understanding of different civilizations throughout ancient history.
Each class should take approximately one hour. Keep in mind; this may vary, depending on class size and student interests. This is where the additional resources listed in each lesson will be useful. They allow for a deeper exploration of each topic for those students who are very interested, or for those classes that are able to meet for longer than one hour.

Lesson focus:

In this Ancient History final review lesson, students will create an interactive timeline to review key events in human history.
