6.H.2.1


Grade-Level Standards:
6.H.2.1 Analyze the development and cultural contributions that gave rise to the earliest human communities


Student Friendly Language:
I can describe the early cultural development and contributions of humankind and how they helped form the earliest human communities.


Know
(Factual)
Understand
(Conceptual)
The students will understand that:
Do
(Procedural, Application, Extended Thinking)
  • early societies developed out of need
  • artifacts and fossils are links to the past
  • the first humans were nomadic
  • domestication of plants and animals changed early human life
  • specialization
  • Paleolithic
  • Neolithic
Paleolithic people adapted to their environment and invented many tools for their survival.

Paleolithic people were the first people to use technology-- tools and methods to perform tasks.  
Paleolithic people used art for communication and expression.

Neolithic people developed a spoken language.
Neolithic people started farming, building communities, producing goods, and trading.
Describe early cultural development of humankind from the Paleolithic Era to the agriculture revolution.

Identify patterns of human settlement with examples of the influence environmental factors.

My question with this standard is could the Know be worded more simply?
Like this :
Artifacts
Nomads
Domestication
Job Specialization
Paleolithic
Neolithic

and leave out the first bullet because its idea is covered in Understand?
