LO1

Many historians believe that the modern humans emerged from Africa about 200,000 years ago. About 50,000 years ago they started to spread across the globe. The Paleolithic age is the first period in prehistory. and that is when they used stone tools for cutting and stabbing into things. In this time people also lived as hunters and gatherers, and they would move from place to place. Neolithic is the second period about 10,000 years ago, with the Agricultural revolution. This revolution was a result of taming animals, adapting plants, many new skills. Farming started to evolve and the life of the people became villages. During the Neolithic age people also started to trade with others and they would use plants and animals for their human needs.

Powerpoint

Today my group presented their power point and we were up there for a good hour. We had more than 25 slides and when we finished class we were only on slide 21. We answered questions for the class and then they took notes on some of the important facts about the power point  To study for a future test I will be taking notes off our own power point.

Test

Today we went over our test and corrected all of our answers, we wrote on the test and will need to study off of them for the finals in June.

LO2

Today we added LO2 to our powerpoints.

Work

Today we just worked on our power point, and our group added pictures and added more facts.

Notes

The acropolis was a hill and highest point in town. 3500 B.C. Indo European nomads from the steppes migrate into Europe. European Barbarian was the way of life. 2200 B.C. Minoan civilization takes root in Crete. Greeks arrive in southeastern Europe. 1600 B.C. Greeks fortified settlements along the Aegean. 1400 B.C. was the destruction of the Minoan towns. The barbarians were tribal people of Indo Eurpoean, they eventually civilized in the east. People of prehistoric Europe were organized to establish megaliths such as stone tombs and monuments. The stone hedge in England was built with stone boulders and arranged according to solar and lunar cycles. The barbarian way of life was often war-like with some central leaders. they practiced rituals and would bury their dead. tribes were formed by their groups and family. The first barbarian people to spread to the Aegean were the Greeks. The east side of Greece is the Aegean sea, and the west side is the Ionian comes between Greece and Italy. Greece is a mountainous peninsula and it is covered by 3/4 mountains. Proximity 1400 islands in Aegean and Ionian Sea. the Location shaped their culture. they had skilled sailors but poor natural resources. it was difficult to unite ancient Greeks because of terrain developed small independent communities.

Homework

Friday's test was simple and I am happy we were able to use our blogs. That really helped me. There was a Migrations period where the European Barbarians would invade different areas. They also did a lot of migration during that time period.  There was extreme weather problems and it was extremely cold. They were very uncivilized in different ways but were still able to create villages. A Barbarian is a word used to describe someone who is uncivilized and out of control. It could also describe someone who is very violent. They would make stone artifacts and create places to temporally stay in. A Megalith is a large stone that is used to create different monuments or models of something using different rocks maybe as well. They would live in different tribes which are divisions of people sometimes based on religion, family, or social class. The Barbarians were often divided into the tribes. Indo European relates to the different European families. They migrated to the west areas and would invade those areas as well. Thats why they were so uncivilized. They moved to Western Europe and would keep migrating.
