Welcome to the Stone Age


We have finally arrived at our first Ancient Civilization. This unit will be approximately four weeks long. We will be doing a variety of things to help us learn about the Stone Age and archaeology. It should be a fun ride. In class, we looked through our textbooks to help get acquainted with what the Stone Age is all about. Using some of the items we talked about, using your prior knowledge, using things you found in your book, please tell me something about the Stone Age. Tell me one thing or tell me 10 things, it is up to you. I want you to post something, however, because we need to start practicing this process so we can start down the path of becoming Master Bloggers. This blog post is designed to activate prior knowledge and to show me what you already know going into this unit. Share with me, your classmates, and the world what you already know about the Stone Age. Good Luck!

Task: post a comment sharing what you already know about the Stone Age.
Due Date: September 14th, 2009. Midnight.
Points: Practice Points. No points awarded.
I appreciate your effort and attitude so far this school year. Keep up the Good Work!

The Stone Age is a time where they made almost everything with stone, like tools. They hunted small and big animals for their food and used the animal's coats for their clothes and other iteams. The world is way diffrent then it was back then, and for what I know I'm very happy about that!

Stone age is the time period with people called neandrathals. Most people would call them cavemen. In this time period there were sabre tooth tigers and mammoths. Also used fire to keep warm. They moved away in the winter and many died. They moved away because their food or the animals moved away in the winter. One of their hunting tricks was when they chased a bunch of elk off a cliff I think.=] Another thing is that they used pine resin to keep their fires going. The Neandrathals made their tools out of stone. And the one thing I remember most about it is that for a head ache they cut a hole in the side of your head out so they could let the bad spirits out.
P.S. your blog totally clashes!!!

I don't know to much about stone age, but I do know that there was some pretty cool animals,the people also worked very hard in this time and that if you wern't tough or safe then you would end up dead.

Hannah P said...

The stone age had a lot of extinct animals. During that period it had the Sabre Tooth Cat, Mammoth, and the Giant Ground Sloth plus more. Men were called cave men or neanderthals. Their most common tool was the hand ax. Their best tool they discovered was fire. They ate meat raw until they discovered fire. They would just take the meat off and eat it directly from the animal. They had to do many hard things and fight for most of their food.
