India Introduction

Today we started our unit on India.

AIM: I will develop 3 inferences about India and find the purpose of a paragraph.

Standard: Geography of India

Do Now:
1) Vocabulary Term: Parts that make up something.
2) Vocabulary term: A long period without rain.
3) Vocabulary term: To mix with a lot of energy.
4) How many years ago was 1,999 BCE?

Lesson Steps: Once we finished the Do Now we jumped right into learning about India by reading a letter in Daro's file. He seemed to be needing some more attention because we had been looking only at Gilgamesh and Hatshepsut for so long. So we did a preview activity about India and then started to read about the geography of India.

Homework: Complete India Illustration Pop-Up India
