Day 4 - Talking History

Day 4 Recap
I was so happy to get down to talking history today.  There is so much that goes on during this opening week that it is refreshing to finally get started with our course.

What is a civilization?  That was the big question that we touched on in class today.  Our text provides a handy list of eight characteristics that civilizations exhibit.

This is a good place to remind you that we will not cover in class all of the material from your reading.  You are, however, responsible for EVERYTHING.

Each of you should have gotten off to a good start with labeling the map.  Let's keep those maps in our notebooks for now, as I think that we will need to refer to them again soon.

If you didn't get a chance to finish it in class, make sure that your complete your short essay addressing the following question.  Why do you believe peoples settled where they did?

Be ready for class tomorrow.
In addition to those items mentioned above, make sure that you complete tonight's reading - pages 14-22.

We will begin class tomorrow with a short video on the Agricultural Revolution that I think you will enjoy.

Remember:  Successful people take great notes.
