Anceint India



For the past few weeks we have been learning about Ancient India in a variety of ways (using the text book, the Internet and high interest short video clips)
  • Learning about the geography and timeline
  • Researching the Caste System and creating an interactive PowerPoint slide in the information about the various social groups
  • Reading and writing about Buddha, then presenting the information in a summary slide with a timeline of Siddhartha's life
  • Understanding the key components of Hinduism and Buddhism and how they are similar and different.
  • Reading an Ancient Indian story titled The Tiger, the Brahman and the Jackal, then acting it out for the class.
We will continue our studies of India for the next few weeks. Check back to see student work samples and pictures of us learning.
