Review, assessment & exploration!

(3 days till break!) Oooh- is that me counting?

Today students filled in what they learned about each group of indigenous people on a KWL chart. We reviewed the notes we took yesterday with our table-mates and then took an assessment to demonstrate learning about the Aztecs, Incas, Mayas & Inuit. Then, we began to look at what happened to these great civilizations and groups of people. We read about European colonization, highlighting important facts as we read and tracing exploration paths on a world map. Then, we filled in a graphic organizer to answer the Who, What, Where, When, Why and Consequences of exploration. Tonight's homework is to finish the graphic organizer. Don't forget that pen pal letters are due tomorrow, too!

Homework: Finish Exploration graphic organizer using the reading passage. Pen Pal letter!

Advisory reminder: Don't forget snacks, cookie decorating supplies and a "white elephant gift" for Friday's party!
