6th Grade Founders Museum

Over the past school year, sixth-grade students learned about the ancient civilizations of Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, and China. During our Founders unit, students were asked to apply their knowledge by creating civilizations of their very own. In groups of seven, they imagined every aspect of their newly-flourishing societies: religion, language, government, economics, shelter, clothing, recreation, and more. All their brainstorming was guided by an essential question: What makes a civilization successful? At our Founders Museum, students will present final displays of their societies.
