Standard: 7.1.1 Follow the great changes that formed Earth and allowed human life to start.

Lesson Steps:
We started class by reviewing the Continental Drift Theory and also practicing the first two lines of our review song.

We then took a practice quiz to determine if we were ready to move on.

Next we reviewed our current grades and unveiled the progress board which will help students to keep track of their academic standing in our class. Afterward we started preparing our vocabulary understanding before reading the ice age handout. While students worked I graded the practice quiz and returned it to everyone.

Homework: Correct your practice quiz. If you lose your graded practice quiz, then print a copy of the quiz above and complete it for homework credit.
