We covered the four major river civilizations after our reading quiz today. Students were given a rubric for how to write comparative essays. Next class students will have a 40 minute comparative essay to write. The essay will count as a quiz grade. They will need to compare(similar and difference) of two of the major river civs. We will draw them out of a hat on Wednesday to determine which civs they will be. Tonight for homework the students need to read the global experience book pages 4-11 and write the comparisons of the Hebrew creation story and the Chinese creation story. They need to address the basic beliefs of each story and draw conclusions on what they believe the implications are for believers today. They can complete this homework and any form they like. Essay or list for example.
