Students shared remaining research. Students had an opportunity to ask me for clarification on any Unit-Closure Work Page items they wished, and I touched upon a few items -- see a reliable classmate for editing suggestions for your page. We then began our unit on Urban Cultures. Add to your Mental Map Timeline, within the "Urban" the phrase "Culture Hearths," and below "3,000 BCE" the Bronze Age (~3,000-1,000BCE) and the Iron Age ~1,000-300BCE. Set up a new "Urban EQ Page" with the current question -- "Was urban culture civilized?" and a new Urban Curiosity Questions page. We then began reading about the urban Jews as the Hebrews/Jews resettled in Canaan and developed an urban civilization -- textbook pages 61-71 while recording relevant bullet points onto the EQ page and questions of curiosity that come to mind onto the CQ page. The reading analysis will be continued in class tomorrow.
