The Revolution Continues

Today we reviewed yesterday's notes and prepared for our BCR or MEAL paragraph assignment.

AIM: I will determine the main idea of the agricultural revolution reading with 100% accuracy and complete one BCR.

Standard: 7.2 Describe how the development of agriculture led to settlement, population growth and the start of civilization.

Do Now:
1) Vocabulary term: to become an expert in one thing.
2) Vocabulary term: A trap or “to catch something”
3) Vocabulary term: Latin term meaning “the other way around”
4) If humans domesticated 2 animals from each of the Old World continents, how many animals would that be?

Lesson Steps: We reviewed the steps that led to settlement and refreshed our memories of the lessons learned from "An End of an Age" reading. This review was important for tomorrow's quiz.

We then reviewed the importance of domestication of animals and how human societies used the first tamed animals. We then did a pre-reading activity on the vocabulary related to the agricultural revolution. Then students got into groups and read page 13 in our textbooks to determine the main idea. This information will be used in a follow up BCR we will have to continue tomorrow.

Homework: Tomorrow we have a quiz on the "End of an Age" reading. Read it over and study the vocabulary words.
