Warm-Up: Write down your interpretation of this cartoon in your notebook. Also, what is the artist’s message?

Today in World History• Aim create a poem/story/song that identifies the changes/impacts

of the Neolithic Revolution. • Big Idea The Neolithic Revolution changed the history of mankind

and the world forever. As a result of the development of farming techniques and the domestication of plants and animals, humans went from being nomads to “civilized” people. Considering that we are all “civilized” people, it’s important to know how this new way of living came about. • Homework Finish/refine your “expression of culture” for the

Neolithic Revolution.

Early Human History: The Time of Nomads• Prehistory refers to the time before writing was developed.•Why does history require writing?• The earliest humans lived in Africa 4 million years ago.• Homo sapiens (means “wise human”) emerged 200,000

years ago.•What is the distinguishing feature of human species? Tools!• For hundreds of thousands of years, humans relied on

hunting and gathering for nourishment and survival. These humans are referred to as nomads (which means one roaming the pasture).

•As a class, let’s read page 7 in your textbook.•Why do some historians believe that the Neolithic

Revolution was the most important development in history?•According to the textbook, what are the six most

important characteristics of civilizations?• Seventh? Technology!•Make an inference: Why did the growing numbers of

people lead to the need and growth of governments?

End of Wednesday

Warm-Up: What makes Chicago such a “big city”?

Today in World History• Aim connect how the characteristics of advanced civilizations have

evolved over time from the Neolithic Revolution to today. • Big Idea Yesterday, we talked about how the Neolithic Revolution

resulted in people living in permanent homes and established small villages. Today, we will find out how those small villages eventually turned into advanced civilizations and how they resemble the world we live in today. • Homework No physical “homework” will be due tomorrow. However,

it’s HIGHLY recommended to study your notes (especially PERSIA-GT and the 7 Characteristics of Civilizations). • Extra-Credit Opportunity: Watch the whole Crash Course Video about

Mesopotamia. Email your world history teacher a two paragraph summary and reflection by EOD Sunday (10 points).

Crash Course: World History!• By John Green, yes, the author of The Fault in Our Stars!• The video is face paced, but packed with relevant and important

information.• He does an excellent job of breaking down the significance of history and

connecting history to the present day.• We are only going to watch the first part, since you can view and enjoy him

dropping knowledge on your own time. • His videos are free to watch and YouTube and would be a great way to

review! • Make sure to write down the most important information! Let’s see how

we do at identifying the main idea and significant details. • https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yocja_N5s1I&index=1&list=PLBDA2E5

10K Years Ago

200K Years Ago

Prior to farming, population size in any one area was limitedby the availability food.

The ability to farm and the availability of reliable crops lead to…

POPULATION INTENSIFICATION

That means population increases in certain areas. Population in those areas became both larger and

denser.

SURPLUS FOOD PRODUCTION

What can SURPLUS FOOD PRODUCTION

mean for a society?

SURPLUS FOOD PRODUCTION…

…means that not everyone has to grow food or tend animals.

They can take on other tasks. They can specialize in some non-farming task.

This is called…

Job Specialization.Men and women

may become:

• Weavers• Stone Masons• Potters• Priests• Scribes • Traders• Army officers

7 Characteristics of Civilization

Let’s read like an historian! •Read pages 10 to 13 in your world history textbooks.• Identify the 7 characteristics of civilizations for

Ancient Mesopotamia. • You will have to make some inferences, because not

all 7 are explicitly stated in the text.•Make sure to take excellent notes and to write in a

neat and organized way!•Organized and detailed notebook = good grade!

We will talk more about this guy tomorrow . . .

• Developed by the Sumerians, Cuneiform consists of intricate characters, incised on clay tablets, dating back as early as 3100 (BCE).

Cuneiform (Kuh-Nay-Uh-Form)

or not Hammurabi’s Code was just nor unjust. • Big Idea Central laws are a fundamental component of every

civilization, whether we are talking about modern day cities or ancient city-states. Today, we will investigate the first set of central laws in recorded human history and argue whether it was just or unjust. • Homework Complete DBQ packet and evidence T-chart• Extra-Credit Opportunity: Watch the whole Crash Course Video about

Mesopotamia. Email your world history teacher a two paragraph summary and reflection by EOD Sunday.

DBQ: Hammurabi's Code!•What is a DBQ again? Document-Based Question!• Hook exercise• Read and annotate background essay• Answer background essay questions• Let’s “pre-bucket” and make our thinking (and, more

specifically, our predictions) visual!• Let’s get our “Indiana Jones” on and analyze some primary

and secondary source historical documents!•Wait a second . . . What’s the different between a primary

and secondary source?

How do historians learn about the past?

Resources!(also known as sources)

Primary Resources

Secondary Resources

Primary Source

• A primary resource, or primary source, is a document or artifact created by a person who was there at the time of the historical event being studied.

• ARTIFACTS are special primary sources. An artifact is a human-made object, such as a tool, weapon, jewelry or technology. Social scientists called Archeologists study artifacts to learn about the lives of people from the past.

Secondary Source

•A secondary resource, or secondary source, is anything that tries to explain a historical event that is created by someone who was not actually present at the time.•Secondary sources often try to explain or describe primary sources.

Hammurabi’s Code: Evidence T-Chart

Evidence of Hammurabi’s Code Being Just

• Students have the right to have their own personal locker where they “can safely store their belongings” (Doc D)

Evidence of Hammurabi’s Code Being Unjust

• Students that earn LaSalle will get a finger cut off (Doc C)

Indiana Jones time!1. Annotate and read all of the historical documents.2. Answer the document analysis questions.3. Source documents A-E. 4. Create three bucket categories for your documents by

labeling the three buckets and putting each document into one of the buckets.

5. Create a thesis statement by writing . . . Hammurabi’s code was (just or unjust) because (bucket/reason 1), (bucket/reason 2), and (bucket/reason 3).
