AIM: I will determine the main idea of two reading passages 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: “a very, very long time.”
2) Vocabulary term: “a human made object from the past.”
3) Vocabulary term: “to run quickly and lightly.”
4) If 6 bands of hunter gatherers settled in the same area, how many people could be there?
Lesson Steps:
Once we completed the Do Now we looked at the results from yesterday's online quiz. Unfortunately, I am still learning how to make this work so I mistakenly printed off a mixed up copy of the quiz which created some confusion while we were going over it. I will still try to make it work better and there are many new activities and games that I can create on the web with this new program. Try your hand at this one: http://www.quia.com/pp/145111.html
We then went into our reading that was handed out yesterday. We were able to get through the first two sections before the class period was over. Only 4 students were able to figure out the main idea of the reading. So we will continue to work on this until everyone has it. We also were able to go over some vocabulary words before I explained the project that is due on Tuesday.
Homework:
Vocabulary Project of new Second Advisory Words is due on Tuesday December 9th.
Here is the handout to explain what needs to be done.
