AIM: I demonstrate mastery on vocabulary, geography of civilizations and measurement using map scales.
Standard: 7.3 Geography of India, 7.4 Geography of China
Do Now:
1) Vocabulary word: To lift with effort.
2) Vocabulary word: Family or group that rules over a long time.
3) Vocabulary word: A little amount over a large area.
4) How many years ago was 2,580 BCE?
Lesson Steps:
We started class with a review game pitting Ancient India against Ancient China. Students answered review questions to see which civilization would come out ahead. We then moved into two activities in which students practiced their measurements and also made vocabulary word review sheets. These sheets were used by students in pairs to quiz and study together for tomorrow's exam.
Homework: Study for tomorrow's exam and use the review sheet below to help study.
Look What I'Ve Learned!
