How do you use the Museum Project to learn about ancient civilizations?

Laura Massa
Laura Massa 9 months ago

I am curious about how other teachers in this community use the Museum Project to introduce the concept of ancient civilizations. Do you limit the number of civilizations based on the size of your class? Do you choose and list the civilizations you want students to cover? If not all the major ancient civilizations can be included, do you introduce the remaining ones in class? In my case, I offer these options for the Museum Project: Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, the Indus River Valley, Ancient China, the Persians and Greeks, Ancient Rome, the Aztecs, the Maya, and the Inca. What approach do you take?  Teresa Cage Todd Nussen Brad Vonck

    The Museum Project is definitely a go-to Laura Massa ! 

    I'm doing this project as part of Origins so we'll do Egypt, Mesopotamia, Yellow River, Indus River, Olmec, Nok... etc.

    To the extent it's helpful for anyone who's planning on doing this project or is currently doing it - I'll share here my Graphic Organizer and Template slide deck that students used to make their museum "exhibits."

    Adam Esrig This graphic organizer and the slide deck are very useful tools to guide students through the process. I am going to use your ideas to reshape my project. Even though I ask similar questions, yours seem clearer. Thank you for your input.

    Wish I could take intellectual credit for those questions but truth be told the intellectual property belongs to the one and only Trevor Getz . We had some discussions with him about how to take the project to the next level.
