The Stone Age
Paleolithic Age & Neolithic Age

2. Bell Ringer (Separate Sheet, CW Grade)
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

3. Stone Age Toolkit
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.
toolkit.html

4. Mapping Human Migration
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)

5. Homework
Download the PDF on my webite: 2_turning_point_-_the_neolithic_revolution.pdf Save it to your computer! (No wifi required )
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.

6. Bell Ringer #8
Take out your homework from last night and answer the following questions:
What is a nomad?
How did agriculture (farming) change the way humans lived?
What is the main difference between the old and new stone ages?

7. POP QUIZ!
Clear your desk of everything except a writing utensil. You will have five minutes to complete your quiz.

8. THE NEOLITHIC REVOLUTION

9. MAIN IDEAS For most of human existence we hunted or gathered our food
Once we start farming, people are able to have jobs (specialization of labor)
New jobs allow for new things like complex art, complex tools, complex religions, and complex permanent settlements
Social Classes or status is now based on job, or gender instead of ability

10. Paleolithic vs. Neolithic Age
Paleo = Old
Lith = Stone
Paleolithic means the 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)
Neo = New
Lith = Stone
Neolithic means the New Stone Age
Begins around 10,000 B.C.E. when agriculture begins and ends around B.C.E. with the invention of metal tools
Only Homo Sapiens (Humans)

11. Dwellings Paleolithic Neolithic Caves, huts, skin tents
Mudbrick with timber

12. Lifestyle Paleolithic Neolithic Nomadic Groups of up to 50 Tribal
Hunters & Gathers
Neolithic
Sedentary
Permanent settlements
Raise livestock/agriculture
Family structure changes

13. Tools Paleolithic Neolithic Chipped stone Wood weapons
Light, dull tools
Neolithic
Polished stone
Sharpened by grinding
More complex

14. Clothing Paleolithic Neolithic Animal skin/hide Animal skin/hides
Woven garments

15. Government Paleolithic Neolithic Tribal/clan
Ruled by elders or the powerful
Matriarchal (female dominated) or Patriarchal (male dominated)
Neolithic
Military and religious leaders
Monarchy develops
Less equality among the sexes
Rise of cities

16. Economy Paleolithic Neolithic No private property Limited trade
Limited storage
Neolithic
Concept of private property emerges
Land, livestock and tools could now be “owned”
Trade networks develop
Economy means how people make money or get the things they want/need

17. Health Paleolithic Neolithic Healthier diet of meat and wild plants
Humans were taller and lived longer compared to Neolithic people
People got more exercise
Neolithic
Less nutritious diet of mostly grains
People were shorter and had a lower life expectancy
New diseases emerge
Women had more children

18. Food Paleolithic Neolithic Hunters and Gatherers Meat, fish, berries
Store only what they can carry
Neolithic
Grew crops such as corn, wheat, beans
Storage for surplus (extra stuff)

19. Main Discoveries Paleolithic Neolithic Fire Rough stone tools
Agriculture
Tools of polished stone

20. Homework
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!

21. Bell Ringer #9 9/23 & 9/24 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

22. Otzi the Iceman 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) mystery.html

23. Homework 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:
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!

24. Bell Ringer # 10
Why do people use images or pictures to communicate or tell stories?
What sort of things do you think pictures left behind by ancient people tell us about the way they lived?
Do you think it is easier or more difficult to express ideas through images instead of written language?

25. 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?

26. Cave Paintings 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
Cave Paintings

27. Cave Painting continued
Show daily life and what 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

28. Cave Painting Activity
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

29. Assignment
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
