•
Top Left: # for each HH

Top Right: Date
•
First: List Three Current Events
•
Second: Write the Topic, Question and Answer for each day’s Hey History!
Topic: Adapt to Survive
Consider how some animals had to adapt to survive over 2 million years ago….
What kind of adaptations do you believe early humans had to make to survive in harsh
environments?
PALEOLITHIC AGE
Paleolithic means “old stone” in Greek; Paleolithic Age also known as the
Old Stone Age
Began about 2.5 million years ago, lasted until about 8000 B.C.
People in this period were nomads and hunter-gatherers
The first people used sticks, stones, and tree branches as their tools; over
time they were able to make more complex tools such as spears and
bows and arrows
Using fire also made life less difficult; archaeologists believe the early
humans first made fire using friction
The development of the spoken language and communication through art
also occurred during the Paleolithic Era
PALEOLITHIC AGE
The Ice Ages were long periods of extreme cold that affected all of
earth; most recent began about 100,000 years ago
The movement and growth of glaciers allowed people to move from
Asia to North America
People had to adapt to living conditions by changing their diets,
shelters, and clothing
The last ice age ended about 9000 to 8000 B.C.
PALEOLITHIC AGE: SURVIVAL TIPS
What would you have to do in order to survive in the same conditions
as early peoples?
Imagine that you have been given the task to come up with the
ultimate Paleolithic Survival Guide!!
Come up with your own list of the top 10 ways to survive during the
Paleolithic Era
NEOLITHIC AGE
Neolithic means “new stone” in Greek; Neolithic Age is often called the New Stone
Age
Lasted from about 9000 to 4000 B.C.
After the end of the Ice Ages, farming and domestication of animals replaced hunting
and gathering
Historians refer to this trend of settled farming as the Agricultural Revolution
People began settling in villages with permanent homes
Surplus of food led to specialization of jobs
As complex communities began to form, systems of government were established to
protect the people and their food supplies
Religions, writing and art also expanded
COMPARING THE AGES
Both the Paleolithic and Neolithic Eras can be classified by human
characteristics and the innovations that occurred.
In order to illustrate some of those differences, create a 2-column page and
title the columns “Paleolithic” and “Neolithic.”
Create a picture to illustrate the major differences between each of the
eras, and below the pictures write a brief caption that explains how each
era was different from the other.
CLOSURE…
The word revolution refers to any change that has an enormous effect on
people's ways of life…
What happened during the Neolithic Era that made the Agricultural
Revolution truly a revolution?

Topic: Describing Mesopotamia – Video
As you watch the overview video on Mesopotamia, record as many
key words as you can for the region…
THE TIGRIS-EUPHRATES VALLEY
•
The first city-states we know of appeared in Sumer, located in southern
Mesopotamia (“The land between the rivers”) around 3000 BCE
•
Sumerian temples, known as Ziggurats, were the central feature of the city-states
•
Used the wheel for transportation and agriculture; plow for agriculture
•
Sometime after 3000 BCE, Sumerians developed cuneiform, a new form of
wedge shaped writing
•
In about 2330 BCE, Sargon and the Akkadians conquered the Sumerians
•
In about 1792 BCE, a ruler named Hammurabi came to power, conquered most
of the upper Tigris-Euphrates Valley; Hammurabi best known for creating
Hammurabi’s Code
•
From 1600s BCE to 500s BCE, many groups conquered and held the valley for
some time, including the Hittites, Assyrians, Chaldeans, and Persians
THE CODE OF HAMMURABI…
One of the major contributions from this area of history came from the
Babylonian King Hammurabi
Read the activity that describes the Code of Hammurabi…
Highlight the most important pieces of information, and after that answer
the questions that follow
THE NILE VALLEY
• Its is believed that the earliest settlements were built along the Nile River about
6000 BCE.
• Yearly floods of the Nile led to the nickname for Egypt, “The Gift of the Nile”
• Egypt was divided by farming settlements into 2 kingdoms, Lower Egypt in the North
and Upper Egypt in the South
• In about 3200 BCE, King Menes of Upper Egypt united the 2 kingdoms
• The history of ancient Egypt is divided into three main periods – the Old Kingdom, the
Middle Kingdom, and the New Kingdom – which lasted from about 2700 BCE to 300
BCE and consisted of roughly 30 Egyptian dynasties
• Egyptians believed in the practice of polytheism (believing in multiple gods), and
Pharaohs were also considered gods that wielded great power
• Early Egyptians had very accurate calendars, used geometry for several purposes,
and had some of the best architects in the world
THE NILE RIVER VALLEY
Use the map provided and the information on the map activity to
complete the tasks and answer the tasks at hand.

Graphic Story– Cat Mummies
Read the story aloud in your table groups (either one person or 5 parts – Amira

Kitten)
Discuss and record your answers to the following question:

mummy case (I will explain to your groups more once you finish reading)
THE RISE OF KUSH
Egypt was not the only empire to rise to power in Africa…
The kingdom of Nubia, later known as Kush, was located south of Egypt along the Nile
Egyptian armies invaded and conquered Nubia in around the 1400’s BCE
After nearly 700 years, Egypt weakened enough for the Nubians to break away and
form the Kingdom of Kush.
In 728 BCE, Egypt was conquered by the Kushites, governed by Kushites for 60 years.
The Kushites were similar to Egyptians in several ways (e.g., worshipped the same
gods, also built pyramids a tombs), and became the center in a web of trade
