Indus Valley — Classroom Pack
Three Bronze Age cities, one compare set, one editorial guide — for South Asian history and world civilizations units.

- Explain Harappan features (grid streets, drainage, seals) without overclaiming undeciphered script.
- Use evidence ratings to separate confirmed archaeology from debated collapse theories.
- Build a short bibliography using the site’s citation tools (CC BY-SA 4.0).
