Today students worked on a foldable on comparing and contrasting the Paleolithic and Neolithic Ages. This will be due on Monday.
Then I gave students their Chapter 3 Summative Assessment. They have 2 options: 1) They can do a 3 paragraph writing assignment or 2) a comic book story page.
The topic for both is how did life change for humans from the Paleolithic to Neolithic Ages (the Agricultural Revolution). Instructions and rubric are on the sheet I passed out. This will be due on Tuesday, October 25th. Anything late will have points deducted.
