Looking for a civilization project idea?
This is a Social Studies or History unit project that involves each student (or student pairs) creating their own civilization using their knowledge of the parts of an organized civilization. It is totally creative, student-paced, fun and at the same time rigorous.
WHAT'S SPECIAL ABOUT IT?
Best part? It requires no prep! This file provides an outline-style packet that allows students to be as creative as they want to be, but all the while using their knowledge of what a civilization is, and what makes up a civilization. This is a perfect complement to an early man unit, early civilization unit, summer school curriculum, or project-based learning curriculum.
WHAT IS INCLUDED?
- An easy-to-use, printable version of the outline-style packet to guide students in the creation of their very own civilization!
- Editable PowerPoint file to help you personalize the project, if needed, for your students
- Digital version, optimized for Google Slides
- Grading rubric
HOW DO I USE IT?
Just print the packet and copy! When I used this in my own classroom, I created an “example” for my students so they could see what I expected from them, but this is totally optional.
I would also make sure students have a brief and simple understanding of the traits of a civilization prior to starting this project. One really simple way to do this is to use this video!
