Hunters en Farmers

Word Duty

Ice Age: periods in the past when areas of the world were covered by ice and it was very cold

Agriculture: a way of living where people grow their own crops and keep animals

Fertile Crescent: area around the rivers Tigris, Euphrates and Nile

Agricultural revolution: farming was introduced, a completely new way of living in prehistory

Domestication: tame animals for your own use

Pottery: an invention of farmers to store products

KEY WORDS

Mesopotamia= The Fertile Crescent 

Bad harvest = hunger!

Farmers were now more dependent on nature. If the harvest was fogged or the season was bad, it was more difficult to survive. In the past as a hunter you would just move on. Farmers did this less quickly, they had more property! 

Hunters or farmers?

How do you recognize that these are farmers and not hunters?

long house

Iedereen in dezelfde kamer, ook vee! Veilig en warm! 

Agricultural Revolution

What is?

change and continuity (in history lessons)?

Change: this means that something ends and is replaced by something different.

For example: When the Roman monarchy ended and Rome became a Republic.

A system of government was replaced by a very different system. So this is "change".

Continuity: this means that somethings continues, or "keeps going on" . 

For example: After the fall of the western Roman empire Christianity continued as an important religion.

In other words: If Christianity had ended with the Roman empire we would speak of "change", but in this case we speak of "continuity".
