In your own words, how did agriculture make other inventions possible?

Take this time to make sure your writing down notes.
Any highlighted or bold in blue text ought to be in your notes.
Systematic Agriculture and it's definition should probably be in your notes because it's a massive change from the caveman we already learned about. You could write sedentary below agriculture because they are connected ideas!
It is OK to write notes your not sure about. The more notes, the better!

Draw or upload a picture of something you think would be a fair trade to barter for a bag of chips that you like?

They don't show it in the video but barter didn't come first. In actual History gifting came before barter and still exists. Before people bartered for goods they would give other people gifts to show they cared about them or wanted peace.
The difference between gifting and bartering is when you gift you don't expect something specific in return.
In time people would give each other the same gifts over and over, things people needed, until it became bartering or tribute. They don't mention tribute in the video either! Tribute is being forced to give gifts or be punished.
