In our study of the early human civilizations, SWBAT describe and evaluate the emergence and devlopment of civilizations and explain how innovations and adaptations changed societies by examining visuals, media and reading selections to gather details and draw conclusions, completing a chart, analyzing vocabulary and by creating an illustrated time- line/cave painting which shows advancements and change over time. (NCSCOS 6H.1, 6H.2, 6G.1)

WB: From the paintings we analyzed, what things stand out as enabling early groups to advance and develop? Justify your reasoning.
