Yesterday we worked on Unit 1 setting the stage. We read page 3 and completed the map I gave the students. The map was to be finished in class, but if anyone didn’t finish it they could turn it in today. Here is the map with directions on what to do on pages 2-3:
Today we started chapter 1: Investigating the Past. We will be learning about 3 social scientists (archaeologist, historian, geographer), what they do and how they do it. In this chapter students will take on the role of an “archaeologist” and will “investigate” the past by looking at cave paintings left by prehistoric humans. This will be done later this week.
So far students have read sections 1-2 and were given the chapter 1 illustrated dictionary. The dictionary will be done as we go through the chapter and will be due when we are finished with the chapter. All students need to do now is the columns ‘definitions’ and ‘in your own words’ (that’s where they put the definition into their own words). If students lose their dictionary, they MUST print it from here, I will not give them another copy.
Thank you
