  1. Introduction to the Civilization of Ancient Egypt Ancient Egypt • Today in this lesson we are going to cover the following objectives: • TLW be introduced to the unit topic of civilization and develop an understanding of a definition of civilization • TLW develop an understanding of the hierarchy (structure)of needs of individuals and groups of people as it affects the development of civilizations • TLW answer and develop questions that will serve as a basis for studying civilizations

  2. Evaluation I will be using the following three-point rubric to evaluate your work during this lesson. Three points: Students actively participated in class discussions and group work; completed their research carefully and thoroughly; made a thoughtful, accurate, and complete presentation to the class. Two points: Students participated in class discussions and group work; completed their research; made an accurate and complete presentation to the class. One point: Students did not participate in class discussions and group work; had difficulty completing their research; made an incomplete presentation to the class.

  3. Shipwrecked Scenario • Materials needed: • Team members:Taylor and Connor—Brittany and Jonathan—Quinton and Emily • Samantha and Jarred • Shipwrecked Scenario hand out 1---2---3 • Pencils-Chart Paper-Markers How does a civilization come to be? Every Civilization has to start somewhere, but why in a certain place and how? Does it just miraculously appear one day? Suppose you and your classmates were suddenly stranded on an island with no way to get off and probably no hope of being rescued. What would you do? So, Let’s begin our journey into a new civilization, your civilization called, “Gilligan’s Island”. The Scenario begins with: Click on the ship to begin.

  4. Each team used the following questions to guide them. Group Discussion Scenario Questions: What were the most important problems to solve first? Why were these problems the most important? Would rules and laws have been important on the island? Why or why not? Suppose one of the people in the group was a really wonderful artist. When do you think that person would have had opportunities to really use her talents—near the beginning, or later? Why? Let’s share what each team came up with and as a group, decide on the best way to proceed. So, in the beginning of a new civilization would you call yourself, Gilligan’s Settlement or Gilligan’s Civilization? Why or why not? Is there a difference between the two? What does a civilization have that a new settlement does not?

  5. Whole Group: List on board Please tell me everything that comes to your mind when you hear the word CIVILIZATION. Remember to think in terms of (Prior Knowledge-Connections-and Questions) Civilization: Please take out your journals and write down the word Civilization-Settlement-Surplus- and Division of Labor What do these words mean and how do they relate to the word civilization? Definitions: A civilization is a large community of people who live and work in a place and have a government to make laws for the group and organizations for education and other social purposes. A civilization usually also has a system of writing and advanced arts and sciences. A settlement is a permanent place of living for a group of people. A surplus is having more than you need of something. When you have a division of labor it means that you have a separation of different jobs among different people in a group. Different people in a community do different jobs.

  6. The Ancient Egyptians developed a settlement on the banks of the • Nile River. At first they had to tend to the basic needs of the • People. They made sure that everyone had food, water, shelter, • and clothing. As this group of people grew bigger things began to • change. There system for growing and hunting food was perfected, • (Surplus).This freed people up to do other things. • What other kinds of jobs do you think people began to have? • (Division of Labor) • Think about our brainstorming session with the word Civilization. • In what order do you think these added jobs would have happened? • Lets gather some information about Ancient Egypt’s Civilization. • I put together a list of questions under a category for you to • answer. I also made a website with a hotlist of sites for you to use to • answer those questions. • List of questions • Mrs.Sweezy’s Website (Directions for this activity on my site) • Next week we will be going to the Computer Lab and in your journals • you will answer the questions I have given you and develop • more of your own to be answered. You will also have to present your • findings to the class.
