Hi! I'm Ms. Barba!
6th Grade Social Studies
We're going to look waaaaay into the past. What makes up a society? This class will explore how ancient societies have evolved (changed over time! The topics of agriculture (food + environment/ geography), technology (tools), and socialization (politics, economic practices, religion/philosophy. and social relationships) will provide a framework to compare and contrast major civilizations. Using critical thinking skills, we will question why some civilizations thrived while others declined. Lastly, we are going to examine how these principles of society still affect us today as people.
