Compare and Contrast Ancient Civilizations With Marzano-Aligned Activities!

The evaluation tool my school uses is Marzano based.  It was adopted when I was hired there four years ago.  Unfortunately, all the resources my school had available for me had been purchased as much as a decade earlier.  Rather than complain, I took it as an opportunity to create my own Marzano-aligned activities!

One of the first I created was my Identifying Similarities and Differences in the Ancient World activity.  This activity can be used in several ways:
​
1) A printed out cooperative learning activity in which pairs (or larger groups) examine images of how two cultures did something (ex: Mesopotamian's built ziggurats and Egyptian's built pyramids) and collaborate to answer provided prompts out loud.
2) An individual activity with the same concept as number one, but with a space for students to individually answer questions in writing.
3) A class-wide version in which the two images are projected on a white board for a class-wide discussion.

* I stumbled on the idea for number three when my school's copiers were not working.
