U.S.

1st hour finished what is posted in yesterday's post.  In all classes we discussed BCE/BC and CE/AD time eras.  In hours 5 & 6 we constructed quick, basic timelines for the cultures noted on the handout (Some Famous Early American Urban Cultures) and then created maps for them, as well on provided handouts.  (See a reliable classmate for the emphasis added to the handout prior to timeline-making.)  Add to your CQ page questions you wonder about any of these particular cultures.  In some hours we began reading a packet of excerpts from Charles C. Mann's book 1491 -- first answer the questions on the 1/2-sheet about the author (context/lens) by using the web page I included at the front of the packet, and then take EQ and CQ notes while reading -- to be continued in class tomorrow.
