Circle: What is your favorite memory that includes snow? Announcement: Little History of the World paper due November 20th.
World Issues Project: You will have 15 minutes to work on your world issues projects.
Mycenaean Trade: For homework, you read that through contact with the Minoans, the Mycenaean's discovered the value of seaborne trade. Now it's time to research. What resources do you think Mycenaean's would have been lacking? What goods could they have used to trade? What goods could they have gotten from trading partners? In your groups, come up with a list of imports and exports for the Mycenaean. For imports, try to find it specifically what trade partner it would have come from. Hint: You may have to make assumptions based off what the physical environment of these different places consists of. (Fifteen minutes then share out lists)
Questions to Ponder: We will be answering and discussing questions number 6, 7, and 8 from the end of the section.
Steps:
1- 3 minutes to write down your own individual answer.
2- 3 minutes to discuss answers in groups.
3- One person share out what their group discussed to the class.
Writing: How did the Mycenaean and Minoan cultures influence our culture today? Why do you think the story and controversy of the Trojan war is important? Why was it worth learning?
Free Work Time: There should be time at the end of class for free work time. This is so anyone who needs to finish up their Human/Environment essays can have a chance to do so. Anyone who has finished these can use this time to get ahead in their world issues projects or their reading for next class.
Homework: Reading Chapter 5 Section 2 (Warring City-States) and taking notes.
