There are 8 defining characteristics of a civilization – teach them to your students in a way that engages and excites them! This lesson is designed to teach the 8 features of a civilization with a gallery walk. Students will begin the lesson with a discussion on what it means to be civilized. They will then learn about the features of civilization by visiting different placards in a gallery walk and taking notes on a graphic organizer. They will process the activity with multiple games and an assignment requiring them to compare the features of a civilization in their community. This activity embeds the Interactive Student Notebook with a preview, graphically organized notes, and a processing assignment. **Updated in 2020 with Google Slides™ for distance learning When you purchase this lesson, you will receive: -a detailed lesson plan -a presentation with directions for the activity -placards for the gallery walk (in the presentation) for: Cities, Organized Government, Religion, Job Specialization, Writing, Arts and Architecture, Social Class, and Public Works. -two different graphic organizers -multiple games ******************************************************************** Customer Tips: How to get TPT credit to use on future purchases: • Please go to your My Purchases page (you may need to login).
