HOMEWORK:
Discussion questions:
1. What effect did the domestication of animals and cultivation of crops have on
people’s food supply? (ans: increased food supply—created a surplus)
2. How did farming make specialization possible? (ans: allowed people to settle in
one place and have time to do things other than farm—no longer worried about
basic needs)
3. How is the work of the archaeologist and the historian similar and how are they
different? (See Venn Diagram in notes)
4. Name two examples of a primary source and two examples of a secondary source.
Primary: diary/Declaration of Independence; Secondary: textbook/biography
