Teaching 6th Grade Social Studies Shouldn't Feel Like a Scavenger Hunt
If you're stuck cobbling together activities from outdated textbooks, internet freebies, and late-night Google searches... you're not alone.
When I first started teaching ancient history, I had no textbook, no pacing guide, and zero idea where to begin. Every weekend turned into a planning marathon - and I still didn't feel confident in what I was teaching.
That's exactly why I created these Ancient History Lesson Sets.
This complete curriculum bundle walks you through the major ancient civilizations from Prehistory to Rome - so your lessons are aligned, engaging, and ready to go, all year long.
