AIM: I will connect 7 vocabulary words from the second advisory to words from the first advisory using the connection example.
Standard: 7.1.3 Explain the evidence supporting hominid origin in East Africa.
Do Now:
1) Which hominid was the first to travel outside of Africa?
2) Which hominid walked upright first?
3) Which hominid made the first stone tools?
4) Which hominid means “upright man?”
Lesson Steps:
We reviewed the lesson from Thursday which focused on the 4 types of hominids and their accomplishments. We then went into a game of connecting vocabulary words between the two advisories. We chose a vocabulary word randomly from the first advisory list and then students worked in groups to connect them to chosen words from the second advisory.
Students had to make sure that the words connected to each word and also made a logical connection between the words.
Students were then instructed to complete the front of the handout for homework and get started on the vocabulary project that is due on Friday.
Homework: Vocabulary Project is due on Friday.
Handout: This has the game on the front page and the project explanation on the back.
