Socials 7

Today students began by answering the following question:

This was our line of inquiry today.  Students were invited to list, draw, or chart their responses.

We then read pages 46-47 in the textbook together.  Next, I modelled the assignment for the day, which was to sketch, extract evidence, and speculate on the evidence in small groups.  Students used the information on pages 48-50 in the textbook to base their findings.

Students did a walk about to inspect each group's sketch, evidence, and speculation.

Finally, we ended by beginning a documentary on human evolution.  Students were asked to write out 5 wonders and 2 pieces of evidence with speculations.  We watched 15 minutes of this documentary.
