Welcome back! As a reminder, we have NWEA testing (Reading) on Wednesday and Thursday. Then Friday is a half day!
1/13 Quick Write:
Today we are wrapping up our work with China’s geography, and continuing to learn about the first dynasty to rule China: the Shang.
First we will review the Exit Ticket from Friday and discuss why the Shang settled in the North China Plains. Then we will take a quick (summative) quiz so you can show me that you understand the effects of geography on settlement.
After the quiz, we shift our focus to the Shang as a civilization by watching a short video and answering three questions on the Chapter 19 & 20 Vocab handout from last week.
This brief discussion will set us up for our continued examination of one of China’s oldest civilizations.
Have a great Monday!
