AIM: I will determine the main idea of one reading passage and I will learn 16 new vocabulary words related to hunter-gatherers.
Standard: 7.1.5 Describe the characteristics of hunter-gatherer societies of the paleolithic age.
Do Now:
1) Vocabulary term: The path the Earth makes around the Sun.
2) Vocabulary term: Groups of people who have no permanent home.
3) Vocabulary term: Scientists that dig up artifacts and fossils.
4) If a band of hunter-gatherers domesticated 15 wolves, how many people would be in charge of each wolf?
Lesson Steps:
Today we merely continued the same lesson from yesterday. We reviewed the reading and many of the vocabulary words. We then continued to read ahead trying to "mine" the main idea. We added more details to our Main Idea Graphic Organizer and then reviewed 14 of the 16 new vocabulary words.
Homework:
Tomorrow we have a quiz on readings 1-6. We also have a vocabulary project due on Tuesday. See the guidelines that were posted yesterday.
