World History

New sheets of blue paper were provided and students put as the heading our very first EQ of the year -- What does it mean to be human?  And then we looked at some "People of History" images via slideshow put together by a team of historians and artists to show what some famous people from history would likely look like if they lived in today's culture.  We viewed some more of Peter Menzel's work -- this time a series of pictures of "A Week's Worth of Groceries" for families around the world.  The, I posed some thoughts and questions to the students to ponder via a very short slideshow, "Are We Really Different?" Make sure to add to your blue paper the words from the last slide.  Then, we continued to add to our blue paper while viewing the first 30 minutes of the beautiful documentary "Human" -- volume 3.
