Socials 7

Today students began by reading pages 54-55 in the textbook and then discussed the pros and cons of hunting and gathering and farming.  Students speculated on how and why farming came to replace hunting and gathering.

We further discussed the scientific definition of a hypothesis (a speculation which can be tested).  We concluded that since a hypothesis of this subject matter could not be tested, we can only continue to speculate.

To rouse student involvement, we had a couple rounds of 7-Up.

We then watched about 10 more minutes of the documentary from last class (we are now at 37 minutes).
