Each day, QUIETLY get a chair out and sit down. Walk-In Routine Each day, QUIETLY get a chair out and sit down. Unpack your notebook, folder, pencil box and agenda. Put away your backpack.

Walk-In Questions Each Walk-In question goes at the BACK of your notebook. Put the date in the TOP RIGHT CORNER. Write the title Walk-In. Copy the question in your notebook. Answer it the best you can. It’s okay if you’re wrong, but it’s not okay not to try.

Staying Organized Daily notes go at the FRONT of your notebook. You do not need to start on a fresh page. Begin a new day’s work right below where you left off the day before. Write the date at the top right corner. Write the title in the middle of the page. Handouts go into your WH folder, in the order that you got them (keeps handouts organized!).

Essential Questions Rather than focus on itty-bitty little facts and dates, we will zero in on BIG IDEAS. We will answer Essential Questions about each civilization that we study. Consider the following questions.

Essential Questions For each civilization, we would like to know: How and why does the rule of law develop in civilizations? How do religion and government exercise authority over people? How did the earliest civilizations begin, develop, and decline? How did geography influence civilization? How do ancient world civilizations influence our world today?
