Grade Level: 6
Objective: To learn about ancient civilizations through studying the Celts and sketching their living spaces
For our past two social studies classes, we've been working through Fiona Macdonald's wonderful book Step Into...The Celtic World, a text I chose for its photographs, its illustrations, and its 15 step-by-step projects. During our unit on Ancient India, K. and I enjoyed not only reading about India but also making timelines and charts, a paper mache Mughal-style helmet and a fabric prints, a set of prayer flags, chai, and naan.
This upcoming unit I hope to do some art and cooking, in addition to constructing a model of a Celtic-style round house. Today, the sixth graders drew their own round-house diagrams in preparation for the project.
