Sep 6/7: the role of agriculture in the foundation of civilizations

Today, we will work on a couple of things with research...
1. Organizing our research portfolios to ensure we are taking effective notes.
2. Investigating the role of agriculture in the foundations of civilizations.

As we look at some sample research portfolios, we will compare our own research portfolios to the samples. We will also provide and receive peer feedback to those at our table on our own research notes. Then we will practice taking notes more effectively using new note-taking strategies.
