World History

Exit slips from yesterday were returned with feedback and discussion.  We continued our screening of "Guns, Germs, & Steel" Episode 1 (Out of Eden) from 28:30 through the end and then Episode 2 (Conquest) from the beginning to 7:00.  Take good E.Q. notes, work at the flow chart (6 of the 8 items have now been covered), add CQs, and also complete the following questions for an exit slip:  1. Why didn't Papua New Guineans farm wheat, barley, cows, or horses?  2. Not an argument from the film, but some thinking related to the cultures we're viewing -- what doe Papua New Guineans HAVE that perhaps "modern cultures" don't?  and 3. Tell me one NEW thing you learned today.
