6th Grade Review Projects

The 6th graders have finished their Rome unit and have now learned about six different ancient civilizations. This week, they are working in groups to create books on the iPad that review some of the themes that we saw in each civilization. The completed books will talk about each topic and how it is shown in Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Greece, and Rome.

Penelope, Jordan, and Erin are creating a book about religion and mythology in ancient times.

Bess, Maddie, and Dana are working on a book about writing, literature, and art.

Austin, Joe, and Eli are making books about inventions, achievements, and the Golden Age of each civilization.

Sean and Jake are working on a book about geography and how it impacted the lives of ancient people.

Kate, Del, and Maya M. are writing about government and social hierarchies.

Ben and Sam are creating a project about the economy, trading, and resources.

Maeve, Maya C., and Johanna are creating a project about war, chaos, and conflict in each civilization.

Tune in soon to see what they come up with!

Georgia plays a drag and drop game on the iPad.
