Understanding the Harappan Civilization and Unit Test Reflection

In this lesson, students reflect on their recent unit test scores, considering their feelings about the results and identifying specific steps for improvement based on new unit content. The focus then shifts to the Harappan Civilization, which flourished around the Indus River around 2500 BC. Students will explore key aspects, including major cities like Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, and the civilization's decline due to factors like Aryan invasions and environmental changes. Engage in independent practice to complete notes, gaining insight into the origins and mysteries of this ancient culture.

  12. Thank you rivers! • Similar to the civilizations of Mesopotamia, and Egypt, Harappan civilization depended on the rivers for fertile soil and water for agriculture.

  13. Mysteries of Harappan Civilization • Around 1750BCE Harappan civilization declined and eventually disappeared. • Declined means things got very bad or “worsened” • WHY?? • Archaeologists think: • #1 A nomadic group called the Aryansmay have attacked and taken over. • #2 Another river called the Sarasvati River dried up. This may have made life in Harappan civilization impossible.

  14. The Aryans • The Aryans were nomads who herded cows in central India. • Around 1500 BCE the Aryans migrated to the Indus river valley and developed a civilization there.

  15. Check yourself! • What was the first civilization to develop in India? • True/False: Indus valley is the same as Harappan civilization • What river did the Harappan civilization settle near? • What were the two major cities in the Indus River Valley? • Why did the Harappan civilization develop near a river? • What happened to the Harappan civilization in 1700BCE? • What group of people migrated to the Indus River Valley?

  16. Independent Practice! • Complete your notes independently • Once you’ve completed the notes raise your hand and Ms. Landy will come and stamp it • When you’ve received the stamp that means you are good to move onto your exit ticket on Quia!
