Vocabulary Connections Continued

Today we started the second advisory with a new essential question and also practice with connecting new words with the first advisory.

AIM: I will learn how to effectively connect two vocabulary words for our ongoing vocabulary connections project.

Standard: 7.1.2 Locate human communities that populated the major regions of the world, identify how humans adapted to a variety of environments.

Do Now: Copy the Essential Question and get out two vocabulary cards.
"How have civilizations adapted to their surrounding environments?"

Lesson Steps:
We started class by looking at the essential question to start the second advisory. We then broke it down and looked up two of the words (civilization and adapt) in the dictionary. We then verified our understanding of the words and then looked at our Word Wall to see which words would connect to these new words. We chose different words each period but some examples throughout the day included connecting evolution to adapt and primates to civilization. Students had to explain how these words connected and also write them on the back of the cards from the first advisory.

We then went over our grades and looked at the advisory exam. We concluded class by looking over tonight's assignment which is to create a cover page for the second advisory and explain why you chose to decorate it that way.

Homework: Create a cover page for the second advisory. Here is the handout.
