Teacher Sock Sunday: Featuring the Ancient Civilizations Lapbook!

April 17, 2016 by StudentSavvy Leave a Comment

Good afternoon teachers! 
If you weren’t aware of this fun fact, I collect funky socks. I ESPECIALLY love funky teacher socks. I have a ton. Because I have a ton of funky teacher socks, I decided I should do something fun with them. Every Sunday I’m going to feature a resource that teachers will find helpful in getting them through the upcoming school week. 
-If you missed the last Teacher Sock Sunday, find it here! 
Today’s resource is the Ancient Civilizations Lapbook!
In this resource, students will design an informational lap book about Ancient Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, Israel, China, Rome, and Greece. It includes cut & paste pages and flaps that will test student knowledge on their Ancient Civilization curriculum. 


This product is Editable! You can change or edit the questions to fit the needs of your students. 

If this is your first time creating a lap book with your students, there is a short 40 second video that will assist you on how to assemble. 

This lapbook project is excellent to have for review before an exam or as an extended learning activity! 


The following topics are covered:

Mesopotamia: cuneiform, Hammurabi’s Codes, ziggurats, the fertile crescent, city states, nomads


Egypt:mummification, pharaohs, hieroglyphics, the pyramids of Giza, hieratic script

India: caste system, Hinduism, accomplishments in science, astronomy, and architecture, Caste System, Brahmin, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Sudras, untouchables.
