Year 7Ancient History UnitClick on the button below to be directed to another Weebly I created for a unit on Ancient Civilisations. Instead of me deciding the civilisation, students chose their own. This was great because I have included many opportunities for students to share their knowledge and understanding. This has the added bonus of each student learning about all ancient civilisations. Moreover, their engagement was heightened because the topic is of interest. In saying that, this unit includes the option to create an ancient structure in Minecraft- this has definitely helped with the engagement and level of efficiency in the classroom.
