This week, we began to discuss the various components of civilization. I will define them next week in my post.
1. Centralized Government
2. Written Language
3. Art / Architecture / Infrastructure
4. Job Specialization / Social Classes
5. Organized Religion
Students are currently working in small groups as they create their own civilizations. They will demonstrate their understanding of the above-mentioned components by incorporating by incorporating them in their design. We also wrapped up our discussion regarding the fields of social studies by taking a quiz on Friday. Most of the scores have been entered and can be viewed online; however, period one cannot be viewed until sometime Monday.
In each class, we discussed the procedure for current event reviews (which will be assigned once or twice a month). For periods 1, 2, 3, and 4, their first review is due on Friday, September 27. Periods 6 and 7 will have their first review due on Monday, September 30 due to the half day schedule. The format for the current event review is listed on my teacher page for review at any time.
Next week, we will continue to explore civilization and we will be on track to begin the prehistory unit in the beginning of October.
***I highly suggest that all students and parents sign up for Remind 101. I will use that service to send mass text messages regarding upcoming assignments, due dates, and other important information. Click on Remind 101 (above) to be directed to the information page.
