AIM: I will chart the 4 accomplishments of hominids and place them in chronological order.
Standard: 7.1.3 Explain the evidence supporting hominid origin in East Africa.
Do Now:
1) What two states are still unknown for the election?
2) Who is our new Vice President?
3) Name one state that used to be Red that changed to Blue on Tuesday.
4) Which Republican President won almost every single state during his election?
Lesson Steps:
We started with a quick review of the electoral map from yesterday and also talked about the outcome in North Carolina and Missouri.
We then revisited the readings on hominids and went over the answers to reading #5. Students then were given cards that they had to match regarding the name of the hominid, the meaning of the Latin name and finally a major accomplishment of that hominid.
Once teams were successful in grouping the cards and putting them in chronological order they then were challenged with creating a song about each hominid to present to the class.
Homework: Students must complete the vocabulary review handout.
