Yesterday students took the chapter 1 assessment.
They were to also complete the vocabulary from chapter 3 in their notes (with two words in chapter 2).  Here is the vocabulary they need to know (should be in their notebook as shown on paper, along with the definitions of course):

Today in class we started chapter 3.  This chapter discusses the revolutionary idea of farming that allowed humans to go from hunting and gathering to stabilized communities.

In our reading notes, we started with the preview activity, where students created a cartoon strip showing the difference of life before the invention of the computer and after the invention.  The purpose of this is to compare the computer to agriculture.  It changed the way us humans live our lives on multiple aspects.
Here are the reading notes (we only did the preview activity on the first page!!):
