About this worksheet
Learn about the capital of Kush with this scaffolded, fill-in-the-blank guided notes activity on Meroë. Built for grades 5–8 history and social studies, this print-and-go resource turns a rich topic into clear, connected notes students can follow and remember.
As students read, they discover why the kings of Kush moved their capital to Meroë, how the city became a great center of iron production using blazing furnaces, how its people invented their own Meroitic writing, how powerful queens called the Kandake led armies and ruled the land, and how Meroë grew wealthy trading ivory and gold with lands as far away as Rome and India. Each short section builds on the one before it, so students see cause and effect instead of memorizing isolated facts. A built-in word bank supports striving readers and English learners, while the guided structure keeps the whole class on pace.
