Different activities and notes
History of the World in 7 minutes

2. Wednesday, July 30th & Thursday July 31st
Open house Thursday! 6-9pm
Finishing timeline stuff
Notes 
History of the World Activity
DBQ activity

3. Goals for today:
Explain how and where complex societies evolved and describe their significant characteristics.
Describe ways in which the rate of change accelerated between 10,000 BCE and 1,000 BCE.
Describe the changes in Paleolithic life and the impact they had on modern humans.

4. Warm Up! You have five minutes to:
Come up with a list of all of the things that might be found in the trash of your home every week.
Include recycling as well.

5. Now… pair up with someone sitting next to you.
If all the items they come up with were taken to the dump, covered with ten feet of earth, and left there, what would still be identifiable if someone dug the items up after 100 years? After 20,000 years? After 100,000 years?

6. Early Humans

8. How the earth was created

9. What do you know about early civilizations?

10. Early Civilizations were…
Stepping stones for:
legal system
democratic form of government
many of the world’s major religions
important inventions such as the alphabet.

11. How do we know about early humans?

12. How do we know about early humans?
ARCHEOLOGISTS
Archeology- the study of past societies through analysis of what people left behind.
Anthropology- the study of human life and culture
Fossils – rocklike remains of biological organisms.

13. Modern Archeologists
2001- Kenya, hominid species completely in tack (3.5 million years old)

14. China- bird like dinosaurs
100 million years ago!

15. 2007- intact baby mammoth in Russia

16. Lascaux Cave paintings

17. The POINT:
Does archeology, fossils and artifacts tell us everything about a culture or civilization?
How do we analyze ancient cultures with the little information that we have about them?

18. History of the World in 18 minutes
You have questions to respond to
As you are watching the video, carefully listen for the answers
The author uses different analogies and things to describe human life over the last million+ years- pay attention!

25. Characteristics of Paleolithic Age
2,500,000 B.C. to 10,000 B.C.

Hand axes were most common
Handles made them easier to use
Spears were later used
Later, invented:
Bow and arrow
Spear
Fish hooks
Bone needles

29. Paleolithic Way of Life cont.
2. Had to follow animal migrations and vegetable cycles
Nomads- people who move from place to place to survive.
Lived in small groups of
Hunting depended on careful observation and group cooperation

33. Use of Fire Homo Erectus was the first Provided:
Piles of ash in caves
As long as 500,000 years ago
Provided:
Warmth
Protection from animals
Light

Occurred differently at different places and times

34. Ice Ages 100,000 B.C. Serious threat to human life
Fire was important for survival
Thick sheets of ice moved down Europe, America and Asia

39. The Neolithic Revolution

40. How does agriculture affect our society?

41. How does agriculture affect our society?

Without agriculture, people would have to hunt and gather to survive.

42. Standard of Living
Definition: refers to a measure of what we have relative to what we need .
Objective
Examples:Shelter, food, clean water, and access to health care.
How it is measured- life expectancy, daily caloric intake, and literacy rates.

45. Quality of Life
Definition: refers to the degree of satisfaction we feel about our lives.
Subjective.
Example: Happiness, family, love
To measure: how one feels in relation to others

46. Neolithic Revolution 8000 B.C.- 4000 B.C.
