Week One

We had a fun time stretching our memories to remember everyone's names as well as learning about our one class rule: R-E-S-P-E-C-T. (I love Aretha Franklin and I'm not afraid to sing!) Then we spent some time talking about what happened in 79 AD involving 4-6 meters. (Hint: Mt. Vesuvius) After checking out a sample of ash, everyone shared three things you would learn about them if their bedroom as they left it Thursday before FILA was covered up to the ceiling in ash. 

Next was an excursion outside to unearth some artifacts before finishing up class talking about why people went from being nomadic hunter-gatherers to settling in what became several great civilizations. Stay tuned for some exciting classes this semester!

Homework: Color code the map in the handout and be prepared to discuss questions 1-3.
