Paleolithic Age & Neolithic Age Please take out a blank sheet of paper. Flip the paper so that the longest side is horizontal. Divide the sheet into ten equal boxes. Title it (on the faint red line) “Stone Age Toolkit” When the images are projected, please sketch each object in the boxes. As we go through the interactive, please label each artifact and write a brief description We are going to learn what kinds of tools early humans used in the Stone Age. We will make predictions about each tool and then find out their actual uses. Please name each tool and write a brief description for each tool. http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/stone-age- toolkit.html On your maps, label each continent and ocean (Be careful, this projection is one you aren’t used to seeing!) We will be going through an interactive. For each event, be sure to draw the arrows that show the movements of early humans as they traveled out of Africa. Number each set of arrows as we go (follow along with the map on the SMARTBoard) Fill in the blanks blow the map (numbers will match up with the arrows) http://www.bradshawfoundation.com/journey/ Download the PDF on my webite: http://individualsandsocieties.weebly.com/uploads/9/2/2/4/9224085/1- Save it to your computer! (No wifi required ) 2_turning_point_-_the_neolithic_revolution.pdf On a piece of paper, define the words in the “Terms, People, and Places” column on the first page. Also, draw the chart in the “Note Taking” column located on the first page. Take notes using the chart and then answer question #2 at the end of the chapter. Take out your homework from last night and answer the following questions: 1. What is a nomad? 2. How did agriculture (farming) change the way humans lived? 3. What is the main difference between the old and new stone ages? Clear your desk of everything except a writing utensil. You will have five minutes to complete your quiz. For most of human existence we hunted or gathered our food 2. Once we start farming, people are able to have jobs (specialization of labor) 3. New jobs allow for new things like complex art, complex tools, complex religions, and complex permanent settlements 4. Social Classes or status is now based on job, or gender instead of ability 1. Paleo = Old Neo = New Lith = Stone Lith = Stone Paleolithic means the Neolithic means the New Old Stone Age Last approximately from the invention of the first stone tool about 2.6 million years ago to about 10,000 B.C.E. Hominids and Homo Sapiens (Humans) Stone Age Begins around 10,000 B.C.E. when agriculture begins and ends around 2000 B.C.E. with the invention of metal tools Only Homo Sapiens (Humans) Paleolithic Caves, huts, skin tents Neolithic Mudbrick with timber Paleolithic Neolithic Nomadic Sedentary Groups of up to 50 Permanent settlements Tribal Raise livestock/agriculture Hunters & Gathers Family structure changes Paleolithic Neolithic Chipped stone Polished stone Wood weapons Sharpened by grinding Light, dull tools More complex Paleolithic Animal skin/hide Neolithic Animal skin/hides Woven garments Paleolithic Neolithic Tribal/clan Military and religious Ruled by elders or the leaders Monarchy develops Less equality among the sexes Rise of cities powerful Matriarchal (female dominated) or Patriarchal (male dominated) Paleolithic Neolithic No private property Concept of private Limited trade property emerges Land, livestock and tools could now be “owned” Trade networks develop Limited storage Economy means how people make money or get the things they want/need Paleolithic Neolithic Healthier diet of meat Less nutritious diet of and wild plants Humans were taller and lived longer compared to Neolithic people People got more exercise mostly grains People were shorter and had a lower life expectancy New diseases emerge Women had more children Paleolithic Neolithic Hunters and Gatherers Grew crops such as corn, Meat, fish, berries wheat, beans Storage for surplus (extra stuff ) Store only what they can carry Paleolithic Neolithic Fire Agriculture Rough stone tools Tools of polished stone Create a flyer that will persuade a human living in 10,000 BCE to either switch to agriculture from hunting and gathering or switch to hunting and gathering from agriculture. Include information from today’s lesson! This should be colorful, factual, and interesting! Take out your flyer homework On a piece of paper quickly draw a two column chart Head the left side “Pro” and the right side “Con” Using the era that you made a flyer for (Paleolithic H+G or Neolithic Ag.) come up with as many pros (good things) and as many cons (bad things) as you can think of regarding this lifestyle Oldest, most intact human ever found! Ice-Mummy- the cold preserved his organs and skin Found with many stone age tools you’ll recognize Cause of death? You be the detective! As we watch the film, answer the questions on your worksheet (50% of the grade). After the film, you will need to write a paragraph that uses all the evidence from the film to explain what you think is the most reasonable explanation of Otzi’s death (50% of the grade) http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/ancient/iceman-murdermystery.html Make Paleolithic Paint (instructions on website, ungraded) Research cave paintings online and come to class with at least ten facts. This is a great website: http://www.lascaux.culture.fr/?lng=en We will have a split block with Mrs. Newton’s class so everyone needs to have this for MONDAY regardless if I have you on an A or B day! Why do people use images or pictures to communicate or tell stories? 2. What sort of things do you think pictures left behind by ancient people tell us about the way they lived? 3. Do you think it is easier or more difficult to express ideas through images instead of written language? 1. Common Symbols in today’s world Where do you see these signs? What do they mean? Why do we use the same symbols and colors? Why would these signs not have words? Cave paintings found all over the world. In the Paleolithic Era, most painting depict humans hunting or just animals. They may have practiced animism or the belief that plants, objects, and the natural world have souls Dark colors like black, brown, and reds were made from crushed rocks, shells, plants, or charcoal mixed with melted animal fats and plant sap Brushed on with hair, leaves, or fiber brushes Often signed with palm print Show daily life and what #paleokidsarethebestkids was important to the artist (much like modern art) No written language existed back then, so these paintings are some of the best clues of what life was like in the Old Stone Age #mycaveonfleek Take out your paper bag and cut it in half so the inside (blank side) can be stretched out into two flat pieces Crumble it up and then smooth it back out to create a “cave” texture Mix your crushed pigment (dirt, rock, shell, etc.) with oil and a little dish soap OR glue and water, to get a paint consistency Paint a scene that represents the important things in your life WITHOUT using any words Just like real cave paintings, these should show daily life, common sights, or personal beliefs These will get stapled into Interactive NB (right side) when dry Write a paragraph (5-8 sentences) explaining the symbols or pictures you used and how it represents your life. (Write on the left side of Interactive NB) Both of these artifacts will go in your interactive notebook Take out your Otzi Worksheet Make sure your Interactive Notebook’s table of contents is update: 1. Mental Map of NVIB 2. Migration Story 3. Personal Timeline 4. Cave Painting paragraph (left side) painting (right side) 5.
