The 4th graders completed In-Class #1 on China on Tuesday and moved on
to study interesting facets of the Ancient Indus River civilizations.
In this context they learned about the still-in effect caste system,
with Brahmans on top and Untouchables at the very bottom.
With the material previewed and read, students were then called up to
the front to summarize it to their classmates. Also as review,
students copied down a chart comparing key features of Ancient
China/Ancient Indus River civilizations.
Following a discussion of likely material on the upcoming Quiz #1 (on
Ancient China), the class began its discussion of Ancient America.
They learned that although some Americans are much more "native" than
others, it wasn't until betweeen 30,000 B.C. and 13,000 B.C. that
humans (nomads) stepped foot upon the continent, arriving by way of
the Bering land bridge.
Homework (on Costa Rica's relations with China) was distributed Friday.
