Ancient Civilizations Curriculum Club with Midgley

You want to feel confident teaching ancient civilizations — but you’re not even sure where to start.

You’ve spent hours Googling “Ancient Egypt lesson ideas,” clicking through random worksheets and half-finished units, only to feel more overwhelmed than before.

With no clear curriculum or pacing guide, you’re piecing lessons together from TPT, Pinterest, and YouTube while juggling grading, behavior, and everything else on your plate.

By Sunday night, you’re exhausted and wondering: “Am I even teaching this right?”

teach in a self-contained 6th grade classroom or rotate classes in middle school
have 30 minutes, 45 minutes, or a full block period each day
are brand-new to teaching ancient history or have been doing it for years
follow Common Core, state standards, or NCSS social studies standards
need to condense lessons for short units or expand them for deeper study

Even if you only use part of what’s included…

Even if you only gain back a few hours each week…

You’ll still feel the relief of having everything you need ready to go — with no more guessing, scrambling, or starting from scratch.

“I used to spend my Sundays cobbling together lessons from a dozen places. Now, I just open the next lesson set and go. My students are more engaged — and I actually have time for myself again.”

— Erin, 6th Grade Teacher

“The pacing guide alone was worth joining! Everything connects beautifully from unit to unit.”

— Jake, Middle School History Teacher

"My students were so tired of our outdated textbooks... The fact that each unit follows a similar structure has helped create some routine and predictability in our Social Studies class. Thank you for an amazing resource!" — A Satisfied Curriculum Club Teacher

This isn't a collection of random resources - it's a complete system.

Every lesson, activity, and assessment has been designed to fit together into a full-year curriculum, guiding your students from one civilization to the next with clarity and purpose.

You'll never have to wonder:

"What should I teach next?"

"Did I cover enough for this unit?"

"Do I have something for early finishers?"

Plus - I've organized the content into an easy structure that is not only easy for you to teach, but easy for students to learn. No more "history is hard" - your students will walk away loving your class!

The secret is the 7 Part Civilization Framework. It provides the clear structure, flexibility, and peace of mind - all in one place.

Q: Is this everything I need to teach Ancient History for 6th grade?

A: Yes! You’ll get a full-year curriculum — daily lesson plans, printable activities, student samples, projects, assessments, and even classroom management tools. It’s all mapped out for you so you can finally stop piecing things together.

Q: Can I cancel anytime?

A: Absolutely. Monthly members can cancel at any time — no hard feelings. If you join yearly, you’ll get access for 12 full months with no auto-renewal (because surprises should be for birthdays, not billing).

Q: What’s the difference between this and your TPT resources?

A: Great question! The Club combines everything into one organized, cohesive system — no more downloading bits and pieces. Plus, members get:

The entire year's curriculum laid out in a daily, predictable sequence

The 7 Parts of a Civilization guiding every lesson, which brings clarity to you and your students

New bonus content each quarter

Exclusive how-to videos & priority support

If you’d rather grab individual units and build your own pacing, you can still find my Ancient History Lesson Sets on TPT. But if you’re craving structure and simplicity… the Club is where you want to be.

Q: Is this aligned to my state’s standards?

A: Yep! The curriculum aligns with CCSS and NCSS standards and covers the major units typically taught in 6th grade: Prehistory, Mesopotamia, Egypt, Israel, India, China, Greece, Rome, and the Americas (Olmec, Maya, Aztec, Inca).

Q: What happens after I register?

A: As soon as you join, you’ll receive your login details for the private member portal. From there, you’ll have instant access to all your resources — and you can start teaching your first unit right away.

Q: Can my school pay for this?

A: YES! We process Purchase Orders (POs) immediately so you can start teaching while the district processes the check. Grab the Inquiry Packet to help you get it approved.
