This year in history we will be exploring the cultures and events surrounding the peoples of Ancient India, Ancient Judea, and Ancient Rome.  We will not only look at the historical facts and figures, but we will also dive deeply into understanding the reason why different paths were chosen during their history and develop empathy with these ancient people from the commoner to the ruling class.  Although the content of these different cultures are rich, we will also be spending time working on your student skills, such as: writing, reading for comprehension, note taking, researching, organization and preparing for assessments.
