In Issaquah, we study four ancient civilizations: Mesopotamia, Egypt, Greece and Rome. For each civilization, we focus on four essential questions:
Legacy-How is your life different today because of ancient civilizations? Geography-How does where you live affect how you live? Beliefs-How do your beliefs determine the rules you follow? Technology-Why do we invent things?
We learn about these great civilizations in a variety of ways, including simulations, technology projects, reading and writing.
