- Post a comment to this post with a question that you have about Otzi the frozen iceman. Just anything you might want to know about or are curious about in regards to him.
- Finish the pictures on your vocab sheet for the key terms History and Prehistory
Today we finally dove into our textbook! We did a book tour with students and talked about where they could find everything in their book (index, glossary, gazetteer, etc). We also talked about how previewing chapters and doing the pre-reading exercises (reading the key terms, looking at pictures, making predictions, etc) would help them understand the material better and practice good reading strategies!
In our book we began reading section 1 of chapter 1, The beginnings of Human Society. The chapter opened by discussing a frozen iceman that was found in the Alps. It talked about how scientists used clues to make inferences about his life. For example, his clothes were finely stitched so they assume his community included people that were skilled in sewing. It also talked about the weapons that were found with his body.
This section had two key terms that we covered today. History: The written and other recorded events of people and Prehistory: The time before history (period of time before writing was invented)
Our strange news today came from Kylee, who sent me a link to an article from the Time for Kids website about how scientists believe Jupiter has been saving Earth from asteroids headed toward us! Since Jupiter's magnetic pull is so strong, asteroids on a path towards Earth end up getting sucked in to the giant planet and hitting there instead. Thanks Jupiter!
