Please help me find resources regarding the ancient times


Recommended Posts

I'm trying to find resources for a 6th grader for these world history topics:

1. Development of civilization in Egypt/Nile River between 6000 - 300 BC

2. Greek civilization from the development of city-states through Hellenistic Age

3. Ancient Rome from development of Republic to fall of Rome

 

I have no idea where to even start looking! (Would Story of the World help me or Augustus Caesar's World or ?) If you have any recommendations for books, websites, or anything else I would greatly appreciate it.

 

Thanks!

Lori

I'm sure you'll get lots of replies, so I'll start you off by suggesting the SOTW activity guide. There are lots of project suggestions, books, etc. Another thought would be to get a copy of Rainbow Resource Catalog and go through their ancient history listings. HTH

I don't have any one book that stands out above the rest, they have all been great. My children use SOTW vol.1 and we choose books weekly off their resource list to go a little deeper into things. There is a yahoo group for this book and they have a wealth of information, activities, suggested books, etc. there. HTH!

I agree with Lynn about All Through The Ages by Christine Miller and also Let The Authors Speak by Carolyn Hatcher. They are both excellent resources for finding literature for every age-range, reading level and time period. Saves me so much time!
