Ancient India Geographical Exploration
Instructional Time: 2 hours a day for 1 day each week for 3 weeks.
Process:
Small group discussions will take place for students to share ideas about why India is located where it is and other pertinent information that we have already learned regarding the permanent settlement of certain groups of people throughout history.
Looking at the essential question,"Why did the people of Ancient India settle where they did?," the whole class will create a list of questions to research as we travel through information gained from their year long Social Science journals (this project will take place towards the end of the school year), Internet, library and textbooks. Teacher will write questions on a chart paper to post in the classroom.
Students will be divided into groups of four and be given the task to choose two or three related questions from the main list of questions the whole class created and using the 'Research Planning Worksheet,'will write their questions down to begin their research.
