HWC Day 5 - GGS Quiz & Culture

Objectives:  Critically examine the arguments presented in Guns, Germs, & Steel.  Define the characteristics and elements of culture.

Task:  Happy Friday!  You'll spend the first portion of class taking your Guns, Germs, & Steel quiz on the Moodle.  You have 40 minutes to complete the quiz, including a 10 minute window to reference your notes and the book reviews summary sheet (not the actual reviews or the text).

After you've finished the quiz, please get out a new sheet of paper to take notes from the Moodle.  Open "Characteristics & Elements of Culture" and copy the notes for your notebook.  It will be helpful to add your own thoughts to these notes.  If there is any time remaining in class, work on the "Foundations Investigation," the Primer presentation, or your chapter 1 reading notes.
