What educators are saying
I have multiple levels in my instructional History class. This resource was great for my lower levels to keep them engaged and learning similar material as the others.
I used this ressource for students who were doing a social studies project. It contained great information and images. I found it very helpful and so did the students.
Description
This product contains the contents for compiling a vocabulary flap book and pocket book for each of the following civilizations: Ancient Mesopotamia, Ancient Egypt, The Mayans, The Aztecs, and the Incas. It also contains a world map for students to locate the civilizations in relationship to one another (1 blank, 1 key, and 1 for quiz). It also has a study guide and quiz for each civilization.
Each flapbook has 4 content-specific vocabulary words and images for students to color and then write the definition under the flap.
These are the vocabulary words included for each civilization:
Mesopotamia: ziggurat, hanging gardens of babylon, fertile crescent, and cuneiform
Egypt: pyramids, hieroglyphs, sarcophagus, pharaoh
Mayans: Yucatan peninsula, pyramid, Mayan calendar, stone engravings
Aztecs: Aztec empire, eagle with a snake on a cactus, chinampas (floating gardens), Tenochtitlan
Incas: Inca Empire, Machu Pichu, llama, Andes mountains
The civilizations were selected by those included in the 1st grade Core Knowledge sequence, but they could be used with many grades and curricula. If you teach Core Knowledge you may be interested in checking out my similar World Religions pack including vocabulary posters and flapbooks for Christianity, Judaism, and Islam.
