LT: I can analyze and determine key information about the development of a specific crop/animal and begin to understand the concept of ‘Geographic Luck’. INTRODUCTION TO GEOGRAPHIC LUCK Entry Task: Why do you think certain civilizations thrived compared to some that did not? Write 3-4 bullet pointed ideas

What is ‘Geographic Luck’? Theory of Geographic Luck was developed by Jared Diamond His theory is attempting to state why some civilizations grew faster and became more advanced than others. He argues that instead of biologic traits or ingenuity, simple geographic factors are responsible for setting some civilizations up for success. These factors weren’t present in every civilization, so some had geographic advantages, or ‘Geographic Luck’

Geographic Factors that made a difference Water! Every civilization needed water, especially if they were going to grow crops!

Geographic Factors that made a difference Climate! A more mild and regular climate was better to live in than too hot or too cold. (Think Goldilocks)

Geographic Factors that made a difference Different species of plants and animals! Early Humans were nomadic (moved around in search of food sources) If there were plants animals around that could be domesticated, then suddenly communities had a dependable and nutritious food source on hand. Nomads began to change to a more sedentary lifestyle. Domesticate: to tame Sedentary: stay in one place (no longer need to move for food)

Crops and animals Today we are going to investigate different crops and animals that made a serious impact on civilizations! Some crops and animals were only located in certain areas of the world. They allowed specific civilizations to get a head start!

Jigsaw Everyone is going to read an article about a specific crop or animal. (There are 7 articles) As you read please take bubble map notes in your journal. Place your crop at the center and key ideas or important information pieces in smaller bubbles branching off. You have 10 minutes to read your article and to take notes.

Expert Groups – In your expert groups, everyone will have a worksheet. (work together to answer the questions, but complete your own worksheet) Work together to map where your plant or animal was FIRST domesticated by coloring in the circles. Then work together to show where it spread to by drawing arrows. Finally, discuss your crop or animal. Work together to decide these three key pieces of information: How the crop/animal was domesticated and where? How the crop/animal spread around the world? The importance of the crop/animal to humans? (are they still important today as well?)

Mixed Groups – You have 3 things to accomplish in your new groups! Please do them in the following order: 1. Everyone present the key information for your specific crop/animal. As people present their info, complete the note sheet on the second side of your worksheet. 2. Work together to plot where each crop/animal was originally domesticated on the group world map. (Everyone needs to complete this in their packet) Please use a different color for each crop/animal. Make a key that states which color is which crop/animal. 3. Discuss what common patterns you see according to the key details and the group map. Come up with at least two patterns to record on your worksheet!

Whole class What were some common patterns we heard in the key details/important information notes? What are some common patterns we noticed on the world map? How did the location of plants and animals in the world impact ‘Geographic Luck’ of certain civilizations?
