Today students presented their hunter-gatherer projects.
AIM: I will present my project according to criteria of three facts for each section.
Standard: 7.1.5 Describe the structure of hunter-gatherer societies and the division of labor.
Do Now:
1) Vocabulary term: a group of families. About 30 people.
2) Vocabulary term: To move to a new place to live.
3) Vocabulary term: People who have no permanent home.
4) If the Big Bang happened 15 billion years ago and the Earth formed 8 billion years ago, how many years happened between the Big Bang and Earth's creation?
Lesson Steps:
Students who completed the cartoon project put their work on the chalkboard and volunteered to share their work. Then paragraph writers were given the opportunity to share their work. Finally, we filmed the students who were acting as news anchors. These presentations were followed by Friday Free time for students in the "Green."
I distributed progress reports and reminded students of what they needed to do in order to bring up low grades. Students in the "Green" have no homework over the Thanksgiving break but those in "Yellow" and "Red" must use this break to make up missed work.
Homework: Complete all missing work by Monday. Have a great Thanksgiving. See you Monday.

Project Day
Today students worked on the project that is due tomorrow.
AIM: I will complete my hunter-gatherer project for tomorrow's deadline.
Standard: 7.1.5 Describe the structure of hunter-gatherer societies and the division of labor.
Do Now: Students completed a reflection that related to their hominid migration map project.
Lesson Steps: We reviewed the map project and also the importance of the vocabulary project. We then discussed why we were learning these lessons in this order and what students would speculate as to the content of upcoming lessons.
We then had time to work on the project that is due tomorrow. I circulated to make sure that every student knew what they were doing. Students were then instructed to complete work by tomorrow.
Homework: Complete the hunter-gatherer project that is due tomorrow. The criteria for this project were posted on Friday's blog entry.
