                        2. Title and Name of person, place, event, object.

Back of Card: 1. Date of Event: (lifespan, Birthday, Event date/time range)

2. Description of impact on evolutionary understanding.

Use your laptops to:

-Find and print a black-and-white picture of person, place, event, object.

-Google information about person, place, event, object.

-Can also use event charts for information.

Use arts and crafts supplies to:

Classwork Monday 2/17/14

Period 7

1. Finish Watching Mystery of Easter Island  you want to pick up this movie at about the 25 minute mark.
2. Read the article Rethinking the Fall of Easter Island and answer the following questions (turn in at the end of 7th period) (having a hard time understanding the article try reading this)
1. How did Jared Diamond describe the fall of Rapa Nui?
2. Who is Thor Heyerdahl and what did he claim about the populating of Rapa Nui?
3. Who is Terry Hunt?
4. What is his theory for the collapse of Rapanui?
5.  How does his theory differ from Jared Diamonds?
6. Create a timeline outlining both the Diamonds view of the collapse of Rapanui and Hunts view on the collapse of the island.  

Period 8

Organize your technology fieldbook

1. write your name on the cover
2. Skip the first 5 pages for the table of contents
3. Start you research record on the next available page after the Table of Contents
1. Use at least one page per technology (todays assignment will use at least 3 pages. One for each type of cordage)

Technology Research #1

Basic Questions for all Technologies

1. What materials do you need and how can you identify them? (example if you want to use milkweed how can you tell what it is, when should you  cultivate it, how do you process it)
2. What process/ technique do you use to make the technology? (sometimes this is more then one. for example making something like shoes requires leather tanning, cordage, sewing...)
3. Who did this? (what human populations used these techniques. be specific, when where descriptions of their culture, range, everything you can find out about them)

The technology you are going to research today is cordage.

you need to find 3 different types of CORDAGE

1. Plant cordage (you need to find another plant other then milkweed) This is what we did in class
2. Sinew cordage
3. leather cordage

If you finish both the period 7 and 8 classwork you can use the rest of the time to work on your presentations

Assignment #2

You will be assigned a discipline from chapter 1 to create a presentation on (either poster or powerpoint/prezi)

Your presentation should include:

1. Overview of the discipline
2. A biography of an influential researcher in the field
3. A description of the work that the individual undertook with specifics of it's influence on our understanding of anthropology.

Midterm fall 2013

Part 1.

Create an artifact to illustrate human evolution.  This artifact should clearly demonstrate

1. How this example of Human Evolution is supported by the general theory of evolution (describe how and  why we evolved this way)
2. How this example supports the Model of Human Dispersion that you believe to be true.

 Included should be a clear understanding of the process of evolution, the timeline that this process occurred on, the evidence to support your argument and a description of how this is represented in the modern population.
