Directions: 1. Think of a creative or descriptive name for this time period. For example, you
might call the period before the development of agriculture "Life before
Farming" or "Hunting to Survive." Make this name the title of your journal entry.
Be sure to pick something other than "The Modern Era." Be creative!
2. Write a journal entry that is at least three paragraphs long. Each paragraph
should have at least three sentences. Make sure to use the terms listed above
at least once in your writing. Your journal entry should address each of the
following:
o Summarize the major turning points or "game changers" of the modern era.
What were the biggest changes in how people lived, what they were able to
do, or what they valued and believed?
• Identify the major regions of the world in which these changes occurred.
o Predict the major effects of these changes on human history. What effects
might we see in the eras that follow this time period? What effects can we
still see today?
