Lesson Plans
These comprehensive lesson plans primarily follow middle school social studies (or interdisciplinary) learning standards. They cover topics from water management to religion, trade, diet, and disease. Lesson plans use artifacts excavated in Ancient Corinth from the Classical to the Byzantine periods (roughly 500 BCE to 1450 CE) as a foundation for learning.
All lessons are prepared as Word documents and are available to download for free. Each lesson plan is a separate entity designed to support learning within a teacher’s curriculum on ancient and medieval civilizations. For each lesson plan, a supplementary PowerPoint with images helps make lessons ready-to-use.
Lessons are aligned with Next Generation Science Standards, National Standards for History (published by the National Center for History in Schools), and Common Core State Standards where applicable.
