I am Mrs Wagner and I am a teacher upgrading my qualifications. For the next six weeks I will be teaching history in Mr. Marshall's Social Studies classes.
Today we had a brief discussion about the attributes of civilization. We looked back to grade seven and came up with a number of factors such as, food supply, population, water, a system of government and a highly developed culture. We then did group work and generated as many ideas we could with three aspects of civilization namely, power, culture and religion. Once we had done that, we tried out some Tableaus. First, we created scenes from a wedding, to practice and once we go the idea, we created Tableaus to reflect culture, religion and power. I was really please how engaged and willing each of the groups were.
Lastly we watched the "History Teachers" parody of Gwen Stefani's "Harajuku Girls" called "civilization." To follow the link press here. The music video review many of the aspects of civilization we had been talking about.
