World History

3rd hour -- we added a few CQs from the Native Australian slideshow.  (We did that yesterday in 5th hour.)  Back to the Yanomamo/i -- 5th hour finished pulling facts onto the note page from the packet of images.  (3rd hour finished that yesterday.)  Both classes added a lot of notes about the Yanomami from the 1/2-page write-up and then from some video clips.  The video -- Mountains of Mystery -- in 3rd hour we viewed from 11:45-18:52, and in 5th hour we will begin on Monday.  Some notes we added from me (Mrs. Cluver) -- the notion that they are "the fierce people" has been discounted by many newer anthropologists, that they tend to exhibit a great deal of expressive joy, are present-time conscious (live in the moment with relatively little stress about the future; don't overly multi-task), and are open about emotions (men, women, and children weep when they feel sadness without hiding it).
