Effects of change

By Kira T. and Emily S.

vocabulary

• agriculture • division of labor • environment

Summery • This chapter is about how agriculture, division of labor and

environment have effected the way we live our lives from a long time ago to now! Early people began to grow more crops so more people could live in more together. More people moved to more parts of the world to make a bigger population, so different people had to do different jobs. The jobs included farming, making tools, and selling clothing. The leaders of the community came up with ways to protect the community ageist dangers of nature or people, by building walls around there village. people from the early ages built with one whole in the roof to get in and out of. When agriculture failed because of droughts the whole community suffered. Most farmers were unsure about the farming environments so it took many years for farmers to learn the best ways to grow and keep things alive.
