Where & When? (10/14)
1) Create two maps of the campus (be sure to provide a compass and orient maps accordingly):
 * political map - show places people have created such as cities (classrooms in your case), roads and boundaries
 * physical map - show natural features such as rivers, mountains, valleys

2) Create a timeline of the rise of civilization:
 * Look at the Global Chronology in your textbook (it is pages 14-15 in mine). You can see the timeline of the rise of civilizations, but notice there are a couple of big breaks, so the timeline is not an accurate representation of this rise through time and space.
 * Take the roll of brown paper from the teacher supply closet and cut a long piece out that will lay across the floor upstairs.
 * Use a ruler to help you roughly layout 2.5 million years.
 * Starting with the first stone tools, mark on the paper when each milestone was accomplished.

Where & When? (10/12)
1) Using primitive tools, create an "artifact". Your classmates will then try to determine what your artifact represents.
