Objectives:  Explain methods and format for analyzing primary sources.  Describe the geography, culture, and Greco-Roman origins of Europe.

Task:  To begin class, we'll discuss the characteristics, significance, and process for evaluating primary sources.  Then, each person will have the opportunity to select the first two primary sources for posts and comments.


Then, we'll continue our introduction to Western civilization with a brief discussion of the editorial, "Western Civilization is Still the Cradle of Learning."  Then, we'll get out the computers, join the class blog (http://svhs-west-civ-spring13.blogspot.com/), and post a reflection about the editorial.
