  7. Closure/Assessment • I will project 11 questions concerning the Minoans and Mycenaeans (4.1.1 & 4.1.2) on the board. • Enter your answers using your CPS clickers only. • Let’s see how we did today - Can you beat the other class?

  8. Minoans • Lived on the island of Crete in the Aegean • Civilization reached its height between 1600 -1500 b.c. • Ruled by King Minos • Minoans were sea traders

  15. Assignment – Venn Diagram • You will create a list of key word for both Minoan & Mycenaean cultures using page 114 – 117. • On your Venn Diagram sort the key words into the right part of the diagram. Key words can be used more than once. Remember to sort by what how each culture is DIFFERENT and how each culture is ALIKE.
