Daily Agenda- Wednesday • Essential Question- What are some of the basic history terms I will need to know to be successful this year in Social Studies? • Be most awesome (as I take attendance) • Begin working quietly (low volume!) in your group on the document assignments. • When you are done with your assignment, go through and proof read your work. • Work together to ensure that everyone has the correct answer and are doing their absolute best- remember in here you are a TEAM! • Have a fantastic, awesome and amazing day!

  3. Daily Agenda • Essential Question- What is the Land Bridge Theory and why do people migrate to new places? • Be most awesome (as I take attendance) • Collect your materials • We will review Absolute/ Relative Location & Latitude and Longitude • I will begin a short prezi- presentation on how to set up your Social Studies notes. • I will then begin the first part of the power point presentation (providing information!) on the Land Bridge Theory in a few moments. https://prezi.com/cfvunjzb1hux/8613-cornell-notes-presentation/

  4. Essential Question- What is the Land Bridge Theory and why do people migrate to new places? • Also known as....why people move to new places! • Why we are here! • Let's brainstorm for a moment and come up with some reasons why we think people would move! Human Migration

  5. It is over 70,000 years ago: Imagine that you are a crafts person who has recently found a piece of red chalk. You are sitting in a cave in a cliff overlooking a lovely body of water that will later be called the Indian Ocean. It is a beautiful place to live. You have a cool breeze from the sea in summer and you build a small fire for warmth in the winter. A flowering shrub grows above your cave. Later, this place will be known as Blombos Cave in South Africa because of the name of the shrub. The carving that you made on the stone will later be known as the oldest example of a complex carving made by a human.

  6. Essential Question- What is the Land Bridge Theory and why do people migrate to new places? • Scientists have come to believe that modern humans originated in Africa around 200,000 years ago. • Humans remained in Africa (and only in Africa) for thousands of years. Where we are from!

  11. Essential Question- What is the Land Bridge Theory and why do people migrate to new places? Because this happened so long ago and there are no written records, we do not know exactly why humans migrated out of Africa or why they kept migrating until they had settled throughout the world. But why move?

  12. Essential Question- What is the Land Bridge Theory and why do people migrate to new places? However, we do have evidence that gives us some clues about these prehistoric times: • We know that early human migrants were hunter-gatherers. • We also know that climatic changes occurred. • We know that human language and communication developed, as did technology, enabling the production of better tools. • Many other reasons may also have led to early migrations.
