3) Vocabulary term: To be anxious and excited about something that is going to happen.
4) If 9 bands settle in one area, how many people would make up this small town?
Lesson Steps: We reviewed the steps from the "End of an Age" reading by working in groups. Students had to order cards chronologically before moving onto the next step. Then students looked at a table about the domestication of animals to review how this process happened and the benefit to the now settled humans. Finally, we previewed the text about the Agricultural Revolution and went over the new vocabulary connected to this reading.
Homework: There will be a quiz this Friday about the information found in the "End of an Age" reading and over the vocabulary words too.
Handouts: Today we had two handouts that we will use over the next few days.
