Taking Notes

I will give you guided note packets for the year. This are full of information and must be

kept in your binders

Some slides you will need to take notes on, others you wont. Pay attention to the upper

left hand corner for a pencil icon.

Write notes!!!

Slides with the pencil icon have blanks that you must fill in, or questions that you must answer on your note sheets.

No notes needed

Some slides are meant to increase your understanding of a topic. These slides may have a different activity but will not have notes. If there is no pencil, you don’t need to take notes, but must pay attention!

Ex: What was the note on the previous slide you needed to complete?

Global Studies 9

Who studies history?

Studying HistoryMany different groups of people study history:

-Archaeologists- find and analyze physical remains and artifacts (objects made by humans)

-Anthropologists- study humans and the societies they created

-Geographists- study people, their environment and the resources available to them.

ArchaeologyArchaeologists study the human remains and artifacts from the past.

They also study the technology, or the skills and tools people used to meet their basic needs.

Technology from pre-history often includes rough stone tools and animal skin clothes.

GeographyTheme: Relationship between people, places, and environments over time

Geography includes how we have altered the environment to match our needs

*Dams to slow water and prevent floods

*Canals to transport goods quickly

*Irrigation ditches to water plants

*Terrace farming in the mountains

GeographyTheme: Relationship between people, places, and environments over time

Geography also includes how the environment affects humans

Can you think of a way our environment affects us in Northern NY?

GeographyWe have 5 main ways we examine geography

Location Longitude and Latitude

Place The physical features such as mountains, water, climate and resources

Human environment interaction

How we are and have shaped the environment (dams)

Movement Trade, Migration and cultural diffusion

Region Unifying characteristics that unite a region (Atlantic coast states)

2 Types of MapsTopographic- the physical features of a place or region

Political- shows the borders of countries and nations

HemispheresThe Earth is also split into several hemispheres: Northern and Southern/ Western and Eastern

A Hemisphere is created by cutting the globe in half

Western Eastern

Northern

Southern

ClimateClimate is the average weather in a region

TropicalNear the equator; tropical rainforests

Mid latitudeVariety of weather changes with season. (North America and Europe)

High latitude Polar regions, very cold

Dry Less than 10 inches rain/year; hot during the day, cold at night

What Climate zone does this picture represent?

Review

A topographical map would most likely be used to:

1.identify the major agricultural products of Egypt

2.determine the population of Beijing, China

3.estimate the elevation of Kabul, Afghanistan

4.count the number of provinces in India

Review

The study of people, their environment, and their resources is: 

1. archaeology2. anthropology3. geography4. sociology

Pre-history

The time before written records

Early PeopleEvidence suggests the earliest humans came from East Africa

Humans then migrated to Europe and Asia Migrate:the movement of people from one area to another

Paleolithic AgePaleolithic means Old Stone Age. Humans in this time had very simple tools made of stone.

Hunters and Gatherers- food came from hunting animals and gathering berries and fruits as they ripened

People were nomads- moving to follow herds and plant ripening

The Climate was very cold, the world was mostly covered in glaciers, or large sheets of ice

Life in Paleolithic AgeIt was difficult to survive in the cold weather. Nomadic groups of 20-30 banded together, taking shelter in caves during the cold seasons

Usually men hunted while women and children gathered.

Most people died before the age of 30

Cave Art depicts animals that were hunted

After reading the image below, what was the “thing” they were making?

Prehistory: The time before written Records

How can we study Pre-history if there are no written records?

Archaeologist evidence

The Paleolithic era is part of prehistory- before writing

To study events from so long ago we use artifacts and human remains

Archaeologists have discovered many graves with tools, pots, supplies and human remains.

Artifact:Objects made by humans

Science and TechnologyTheme: Tools and methods used by people to get what they need and want

What types of technology did Paleolithic people have?

Stone arrow heads for hunting

Pots for cooking

Baskets for gathering

ReviewSketch a scene of life in the Paleolithic Age

Neolithic RevolutionRevolution= Change

Around 10,000 years ago early people began to change from hunting and gathering to farming and herding.

This period is known as the Neolithic Revolution

Neolithic Revolution

Change and Turning PointsTheme: Basic alterations in events, things and ideas

What is the basic alteration of the Neolithic Revolution?

Humans stopped migrating and settled in one place.

Life in Neolithic Age

Villages are established

Women took care of home, men farmed and took care of animals

Some groups domesticated animals in closed pens, others herded them to green pastures.

The rank of men increased over women

Read “The Changing Ways of Life” on page 12 of your blue books (under the desk)

Effects of the Neolithic Revolution

People lived longer

Steady source of food increased

Population increased

Civilizations started to develop

Compare and ContrastPaleolithic Neolithic

Skara BraeRead pages 11-12 to learn about Skara Brae, an ancient village that developed during the Neolithic Revolution.

1)Explain why cooperation would be essential to survival in Neolithic Villages like Skara Brae

2)Identify two forms of technology the people of Skara Brae developed. What was one they were missing?

EffectsWhat types of changes do you think occurred because of the Neolithic Revolution?

-Surplus food -improved health -permanent shelters-women’s status declines-Trade and interaction

Increase population

Crash Course: Neolithic Revolution

As the video plays write down 3 things about the Neolithic Revolution and how it changed life

Villages Cities Civilizations

As the population increased, villages became cities, and soon cities developed into Civilizations

Features of CivilizationsCivilizations all have 8 basic features

1) Cities

2) Well-organized central governments

3) Complex religions

4) Job specialization

5) Social classes

6) Arts and architecture

7) Public works

8) Writing

CitiesAs farmers were able to produce surplus food populations grew. Villages became cities as their populations continued to grow.

Organized GovernmentGovernments were responsible for

-issuing laws

-collecting taxes

-ensuring a steady and sufficient food supply

-organizing defense

.

Bureaucracy developed: officials would oversee various duties such as farming production, animal husbandry, road repair

During the Paleolithic Age governments were led by the tribe elders, who had the most experience. In the Neolithic Age Warrior Kings fought to gain and maintain power

Complex ReligionsMost ancient religions were polytheistic, meaning they believed in many gods. Many gods were based around nature such as Sun gods, river goddesses, and animal spirits. Others were based around human activities such as war gods.

To appease the gods people built temples and made sacrifices. Priests were specially trained in rituals, knowledge and ceremonies to keep the favor of the gods.

Job SpecializationAs cities continued to grow, so did their “To-do-list”. Urban people developed numerous skills to help them maintain their cities and evolving lifestyles:

-Artisans were skilled craft workers who made pottery, tools, and other goods.

-Bricklayers built city walls and buildings

-Soldiers defended cities

-Farmers worked the land

Social ClassesPeople were ranked according to their jobs.

Priests and nobles

Wealthy merchants

Artisans

Peasant farmers

Slaves

Nobles- wealthy families with ties to the king

Label the pyramid on your papers

Egyptian Social classes

Arts and ArchitectureTo emphasize the power of the government, the rulers would commission grand buildings such as temples and palaces.

Public WorksRulers would order projects to benefit the city by protecting it from attack and ensuring a steady food supply. Such projects included irrigation systems, roads, bridges, and defensive walls. What is the purpose

of the system pictured to the right?

Irrigation- bringing water to the plants away from the water source

WritingWriting has developed over time from pictograms to letters. Pictograms are simple drawings that show the words they represent. In time symbols were added for ideas that could not easily be drawn.

Only a select few, called scribes, learned to read and write.

Would scribes be in a low, mid or high social class? Why?

Scribe: people who learned to read and write

Review

What social class would it be unlikely for a Scribe to come from?

1)Priests2)Nobles3)Merchants4)Farmers

Review

Which of the following is NOT a characteristic of the Neolithic Age?

1)Villages2)Farming3)Nomads4)Job Specialization
