Presentation Transcript

  1. Civilizations Emerge • Discovering Our Past • Page 68 • Introduce Map Activity

  2. More complex cultures called civilizations began to develop during the late Neolithic Age. What do all of the civilizations shown have in common?

  3. Around 3000 B.C., these four civilizations developed in river valleys. Textbook page 68

  4. Mesopotamia, “the cradle of civilization” Mesopotamia developed in what is present day Iraq in SW Asia. What does the satellite picture reveal about Southwest Asia?

  5. Mesopotamia, “the cradle of civilization” What does it mean to be the “cradle of civilization”? Natural Resources • Water for crops and people • Fertile soil • Fish

  6. Because much of the Fertile Crescent is a desert, the people who live there depend on irrigation to raise their crops. Mesopotamia

  7. Map Practice Early civilizations developed in river valleys because of available natural resources. By the beginning of the Bronze Age—around 3,000 BCE—four great river civilizations emerged with similar characteristics.

  8. What have we learned? Early civilizations developed in river valleys because of available natural resources. Our goal will be to analyze documents to find common characteristics early civilizations shared.

  9. Flipped class HW: work with a partner to answer questions using your map. This activity will help you be better able to extend what you are learning to other civilizations. (Level 4 on learning scale)

  10. 1. The source of river is where it begins. 40°North-40°East

  11. 2. The mouth of river is where it flows into a larger body of water. The Persian Gulf is at the mouth of the Tigris River.

  12. 3. The mouth of river is where it flows into a larger body of water. The mouth of the Nile River is in the Mediterranean Sea.

  13. Building Background Knowledge • Return to the Edmodo page and watch the Brain pop video about Sumerians .

  14. While you color, we can learn more about early civilizations. The first 3 minutes of Indus Valley Civilization: Crash Course #2reviews characteristics of a civilization. It also explains how artifacts found in Mesopotamia are evidence of trade between the two civilizations. Use the map on page 67 to color bodies of water, rivers and ancient civilizations. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7ndRwqJYDM
