Everyone posted a paragraph about civilization and evolution - although some essays could have been a little more developed.
Congrats to those who were able to post pictures – one request though, please make sure the picture is of YOU! It helps me learn your names.
The next step is to post a picture of you in “My profile” This will show your picture whenever you post a comment on someone else’s page.
Also, please title your posts!
Please Do Now:
- 13,000 years ago, human beings all over the earth lived the same ‘uncivilized’ life. Why do you think some peoples developed amazing technologies and advanced material cultures, while others have remained poor for most of their history?
Today, students will:
- Learn Jared Diamond’s theory about the relationship between geography and civilization (SS.B1.4, SS.B.2.4)
- Answer questions on a powerpoint about the Maori and Moriori civilizations (SS.A.1.4, SS.A.2.4).
- Hypothesize reasons for the unequal development of human civilization (SS.A.1.4, SS.B.2.4).
Tonight’s homework is:
- Read pages 6-10.
- Answer question 1, 2, 3 or 4 on your own blog.

mr.weiss!
i’m a bitttt slow
& i deleted my first post about the civilizations & evolution
but i was thinking since it showed 2 posts of the same subject i thought one of them was the one i had first posted & the other one was the one i later fixed, so i deleted the first one i posted to leave the one that was corrected & it deleted both of them
just thought i should let you know
