    Rebecca Sloat you got excellent resources to start planning this new course. In addition to what everybody said here, I would add the Museum Project. It is a lot of fun for students to explore in depth ancient civilizations. I am sure they will remember this project for years to come. They will transform your classroom into a museum with stations and artifacts made by them to represent their civilization of their choice. It is fantastic! Next year I will teach a course in Latin America and I am planning to incorporate this project in that course as well.

    This museum project is something I have missed.  Lots of rich resources there.  It's been a while been when I was first developing my course I was asking questions all the time in the community.  I am sure i have slides, lessons, and assessments you could use.

     Eric Schulz it is never too late to do it. The best part is that you can use the template in so many courses, not only in Big History.
