- Use this as a review session before the related assessment, either as independent practice or a partner-check activity in about 20 to 25 minutes.
- Discussion question: Why might a city need job specialization and infrastructure to grow beyond a single farming village?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Pair each term with a concrete example from the definitions, such as bronze tools or irrigation canals, and let students use the word bank list as a reference while completing sentences.
- Extension for advanced students: Have them write one original sentence for each term that connects it to a second civilization characteristic, such as how government relies on infrastructure.
- Estimated time: about 20 to 25 minutes for completion, plus 5 minutes for review.
