Classes began the week reviewing their knowledge of Early American
Civilizations in preparation for the Quiz on Tuesday. Immediately
following the Quiz, students copied a timeline on African
civiliations, post-Egyptian New Kingdom, which would prepare them for
the movie and reading they would do.
The BBC video the students watched focused on Ethiopia's past.
Narrated by an art historian, the movie touched on issues the class
had and would continue to see in the textbook, and highlighted
Ethiopia's legends of connections to Hebrew King Solomon and the
country's possession of the Ark of the Covenant, which allegedly
contains the Ten Commandments. A brief clip of Raiders of the Lost Ark
(an Indiana Jones movie) was also shown to spotlight how the search
for the Ark has long captivated archaeologists.
After discussing the movie and previewing the material, classes read
the lesson on African civilizations.
