In the past we thought that [__________] (cavemen) were not humans but a separate [__________]. Like how dogs and cats are different species. Now we know [__________] and humans are are two different [__________] which could breed and live together. Like how Chihuahuas and Labrador Retrievers are different looking subspecies but still dogs. Today many types of humans have been discovered! Homo Sapiens Sapiens, Neanderthals, Denisovans and probably many more we don't even know about yet!

You will soon be assigned a team!
Team Hunters or Team Gatherers.
Each team will have a ...
Leader - who picks who does what job, makes sure teammates are working, and helps others.
Paper Cutter - who is in charge of using scissors safely.
Folder - who is in charge of folding papers properly.
Time Keeper - who tracks the time to make sure the team doesn't run out of time and helps others.
Hunters will need one paper, two papers of another color, and when your ready to glue, ask Mr. Bergh.
Gatherers will need three different colored papers and when your ready to staple, ask Mr. Bergh.
Watch the paper spear video below if your a hunter.
Watch the paper basket video below if your a gatherer. 

You will also see RED "animals" to be hunted by hunters.
Around the room you will see GREEN "vegetables" to be gathered by gatherers.
Once teams are quiet and understand the rules each team will try to find one food for each team member. No food? Your team member "dies" and has to sit down in their seat while others survive. 
At the end of each round the food will be collected, Mr. Bergh will take some food out, and those who "died" will be allowed to hide what's left around the room for the next round.
If only one person is left alive in a team, they are allowed to join another team, doesn't matter if they are hunter or gatherer. Keep playing until we run out of time or only one team is left.

On a sheet of lined paper, title it CHECK YOUR KNOWLEDGE. This is our study guide. Use your knowledge, the Formative, your notes, and any projects to answer the questions. Write your answers on the sheet of lined paper.
After some minutes you will be buddied up with ONE student. Share your answers to make each others answers better! 

Time to draw like a caveman! Yippie! Umm... I mean OOGA BOOGA! 
We will use pastel crayons, picking only five colors. Archaeological researchers have found the principal pigments used by early humans to be:
Haematite, iron(III) oxide (Fe2O3), gives the mineral ochre a red colour (strangely, if the particle size is large it will also give purple);
Limonite, the mineral form of hydrated iron(III) oxide-hydroxide of varying composition (FeO(OH)·nH2O), for yellow;
Limestone, calcite or crushed shells, mineral forms of calcium(II) carbonate (CaCO3), for white;
Manganite, the mineral form of manganese oxide-hydroxide (MnO(OH)), for brown;
Pyrolusite, the mineral form of manganese(IV) oxide (MnO2), that gives black;
Charcoal, the mineral form of carbon (C), which also gives black.Tell a simple story with your finger painting on poster paper. This represents oral tradition using petroglyphs.
You will present your story with only grunts, one word phrases, and body language, just like our ancestors long ago.
After presenting you will paraphrase another students' simple story the best you can on a half sheet of paper.

	Homo Habilis	Homo Erectus
Means "Upright Man"
