Main Idea Revealed

Today we took a quiz regarding the content from the beginning of the second advisory.

AIM: I will determine the main idea of the "End of an Age" reading and also take a quiz to demonstrate my understanding of the content regarding the migration of hunter-gatherers.

Standard: 7.1.5 Describe the characteristics of hunter-gatherer societies of the paleolithic age.

Do Now:
Students cleared their desks to take today's quiz.

Lesson Steps:
We started with the brief quiz and then students graded their Do Nows for this point in the second advisory. Once both of these activities were done, we returned to the "End of an Age" reading and completed all vocabulary and worked on determining the main idea.

Homework:
The 43 word vocabulary project is due on Tuesday. The guideline for this project is available on Wednesday's posting.
