What you must do in this unit
- Read chapter 1 in the textbook. Remember in this unit of the course, we are focusing on pre-history. That means the time before urban civilization developed, i.e. before 3000 BCE. I try and provide mulitple sources of information for each unit in the course: the textbook, my short notes (with suggested additional websites), my short video, other suggested videos. You also have the entire web available to you for more research. The textbook is a good starting point to help you answer the key terms and questions to consider for each unit of the course, and the textbook can be a big help in studying for the timeline on the final exam and the maps on both exams.
- Read my Pre-History Notes.
- Watch Professor Evans' short video on pre-history.
- Check out Professor Campbell's video Was The Invention of Agriculture B.S.?
- Study the Questions to Consider and the Key Terms for the unit.
- SUBMIT the Required Pre-History paragraph (25 points).
