Just a quick overview of what we've been working on this week:
On Wednesday 1/28 we started talking about the Agricultural Revolution and it's importance. We watched our first Crash Course video (Agricultural Revolution) and completed the short viewing guide for it. Then we went over the features of Civilization (on the Pre-History PowerPoint) and made a poster in class on those features.
On Thursday 1/29, you had about 20 minutes to finish your poster, and then we began our River Valley Ancient Civilization project. This is a pretty major project which we will spend the next week completing as a class. Note that the project is slightly different depending on whether or not you are in the honors section of the class, so read the direction sheet carefully! This is a bit of a "Pick Your Own Ending" project, that allows you to work on the assignments that seem the most interesting to you. This is also our first major project grade for the class, so it's very important! Everything you need for the project (including the assignment direction sheet) is under unit 1 in the section labeled "River Valley Civilizations."
We spent today just continuing to work on the project in class. On Monday, we will be working in the Media Center! Good Luck and please let me know if you have any questions!
