1. Using only your notes and charts, can you answer the following multiple choice test question?

Are you able to interpret the question? Do you know what each of the four answer choices means? You should if you have been taking good notes and doing good work!

2. Watch the rest of Episode One of //Guns, Germs and Steel//. Answer the questions provided in your notes as you watch. Ask to stop the video if you have questions along the way or need a minute to catch up. Record //details//, not just easy and general information.

3 . With a partner, answer question #8: "Do you agree with Jared Diamond...". Work on your answer together until it sounds like an introductory paragraph to an essay. Provide specific reasons, detail, and evidence to back up your argument. Read your answers to question #8 to the class. Do not summarize what you wrote! READ it to the class.

4. Next question for you and your partner: The Neolithic Revolution was (or was not) the most important development in human history. Do some research, take a side and create an argument using specific reasons, detail and evidence to back yourself up. After you have made your argument, discuss with the class.

5. HW: Study for your test tomorrow. Expect 20 multiple choice and 10 fill in the blank questions from the chapter. Also expect to answer 7-8 short answer questions. Your short answers will be in paragraph form and will count as more than half of your test. Warning: Your test will not be graded until you complete __every__ short answer question! Study and be prepared!!
