A culture objective develops students’ socio-cultural competence and connects the content to their backgrounds and personal experiences. These kinds of objectives also help us make sure we positively reflect students’ cultures in our lesson plans.

Ancient Egypt was one of the greatest and most powerful civilizations in the history of the world. It lasted for over 3000 years from 3150 BC to 30 BC.

Ancient Greece was a civilization that dominated much of the Mediterranean thousands of years ago. At its peak under Alexander the Great, Ancient Greece ruled much of Europe and western Asia. The Greeks came before the Romans and much of the Roman culture was influenced by the Greeks.

Ancient Egypt was located near the Nile River in Northeast Africa. It was governed by the great Egyptian Cities.

Ancient Greece formed the foundation of much of Western culture today. Greece is a country in southeastern Europe on the southern part of the Balkan Peninsula.
