This unit on Ancient Egypt takes a look at the various kingdoms in Ancient Egypt from around 2950BC to 332BC. This unit mainly focuses on the Old Kingdom, Middle Kingdom, and New Kingdom. (There is not much emphasis or reference to specific dynasties during this period.) It contains 200 pages of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism, who are in middle and high school. This unit addresses Ancient Egyptian civilization in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information this time period including some of the major contributions to architecture as well as some of the unique traditions and rituals from this time period . This repetition helps students make connections to this important and often abstract information. In addition, many of the activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation and options for presentation.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Regardless of the material, if we can ask students good questions it will push them to think more deeply than before.

As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchase on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!

I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future. Plus, it just means a lot to me.
