Unit 1 Vocabulary Definitions on Quizlet We shared out and voted on the best group definition of a civilization from the article we read on Thursday. We reviewed the geography of the Earth, specifically continents and oceans. Then, we broke it down further and talked about the regions of the Earth. We read an article called "The Myth of Continents", and students answered questions. All students were given a region map to study for a map quiz on Monday. Lastly, for homework, students were given an article by Jared Diamond called,"The Worst Mistake in Human History," which brings about the argument that the agricultural revolution was a bad idea and we are better off hunting and gathering.
