8th Grade Social Studies
Each of the California State Content Standards that are tested at the end of
the 8th Grade are included in each PowerPoint. The guidelines are all there.
Right Click on the PowerPoint and download it to your computer. Open it
and begin following the directions. PLEASE do not make these harder than
they are meant to be.
For Instance, the first PowerPoint is a review of a
sixth grade standard and is about locations of the Ancient
Civilizations. |
| 1. All you need to do is draw one world map
and label the continents, not the current political map (not the
countries). |
2. After you make the copies (10) you will
color each civilization and label the major rivers, civilizations and
oceans. |
3. Part one done, scan and put into the
PowerPoint. |
| 4. Then look it over, read the history in
the encyclopedia, think about why the civilizations were started in
those exact locations. |
5. Make a slide with a few key words, fresh
water, easy access for trade, nice climate... |
6. That is it. Do not over think this and
make it too hard to do. |
| 7. This particular PowerPoint should be
done in one week. |
