 Track Description
This track was created for a unit on the ancient Indus Valley Civilization being studied by a group of sixth graders in Social Studies. Students will complete the following activities 1) read a story about life in the Indus River Valley; 2) take notes on certain aspects of life in that civilization; 3) use the notes to create a travel brochure for visitors to Mohenjo-Daro, a city in the Indus Valley; 4) complete a reading activity that requires them to make inferences based on the story; and 5) work with a small group to complete a Power Point presentation about life in the Indus Valley and share this presentation with other sixth graders through e-mail. This track meets the Tennessee Curriculum Frameworks standard for (1) Language Arts (6-8) Viewing and Representing: The student will use, read, and view media/technology and analyze content and concepts accurately; (2) Social Studies (6-8) History: Students will exhibit an understanding of the dynamic interaction between human events and the state, region, or country in which they occur; and (3) Technology (6-8) The student will use technology as a tool to conduct and evaluate research and to communicate effectively information and ideas.
