Today we took a quiz on the "End of An Age" reading and then completed our BCR preparations.
AIM: I will determine the main idea of the Agricultural Revolution reading with 100% accuracy and complete 1 BCR.
Standard: 7.2 Describe how the development of agriculture led to settlement, population growth and the start of civilization.
Do Now: Clear desks for today's quiz.
Lesson Steps:
We started with the quiz and when students finished they calculated the grades of their second advisory vocabulary words project. (Students are now responsible for calculating all averages). We then reviewed the agriculture reading and made sure that everyone had the main idea by the end of the class. Finally, we went over the MEAL paragraph handout for our BCR question: How did early humans use technology to improve their lives? Students are to complete this paragraph for homework.
Homework: Complete MEAL paragraph on technology if not finished in class.
