Today we took a look at our upcoming research project which focuses on a cultural universal of one of our four ancient civilizations. Students seemed excited to select their civilization and discover more about life inthe past. From their study, they will be creating an artifact model that they will be able to display along with a museum style placard. The placard will show off their research and highlight the archaeological find and what it reveals about the culture from which it came.
We also learned about primary and secondary sources and source citation as we warmed up with some research practice. Students took a deeper look into our timeline study from last week and defined the terms chronology, era, period, century, and decade. We got to explore our interactive notebook tool that we will use for note taking and to help us organize our research findings. You can take a look at the project rubric here.
