Hi guys:
I am going to correct your exercises.
Exercise two page 79
-
A Sail
-
B Wheel
-
C Plough
Exercise three page 79:
We use all the invetions from the Metal Ages but they have changed and now they work faster such us plough or sail. The wheel now is made of plastic so it is lighter.
Now you have to read page 80.
People of the Metal Ages built megalithic monuments.
They used enormous stones to build monuments with religious or burial uses.
There were three types of Megalithic monuments .
-
Menhirs: They were formed by an upright and standing rock. They were used for religious purposes

Dolmens: They were built using three big rocks . Two of them were supporting the other one . They were used for burial purposes.

Sail. People started to make boats . It was an easy way to transport people and goods by water.
-
Plough. The plough allow people to grow more and more crops. Peole began to produce more cereals than they could eat and began to trade with them.
Los principales inventos de la edad de los metales:
-
La rueda: La rueda es posiblemente uno de los inventos más importantes de la humanidad. La invención de la rueda permitió crear carros y transportar bienes para comerciar.
-
La navegación. La navegación permitió transportar fácilmente pasadas cargas por ríos o costas.
-
El arado. El arado hizo que se pudiera aumentar la superficie cultivable y que los agricultores pudieran cultivar más cereales de los que se comían. A eso lo llamamos excedente. Ese excedente facilitó que comerciaran.
Now you have to copy this scheme in your notebook and you have to do exercises 2 and 3 from page 79.

Hi Guys!
Let´s have a look at Metal Age:
In the Metal Ages people began to make tools with metals. They found out metals in the nature , they melted them in very hot ovens called furnances , they gave them a shape and let them cool.
People made many tools such us swords, knives , jewelry ... The stone and wood were repaced by metals .
But how did they find metals?
Poeple extracted metals from mines. There were many prehistoric mines in the Iberian Peninsula .
First the began to use Copper , but Copper is very soft . They mixed Copper with Tin to make Bronze wich is harder than copper. The main problem was the Tin was difficult tu find. Finally the began to use Iron wich was easy to find and also hard.
Now copy this secheme in your notebooks.
Ahora vamos a hacer una línea del tiempo. En el cuadro vamos a rellenar las partes de la prehistoria con el momento en el que empezaron y después Los ordenaremos en nuestra línea del tiempo que está mas abajo. En la línea del tiempo también vamos a poner cada periodo de la prehistoria con el momento en el que empezó.

Morning!
These are your corrected exercises:
Exercise 2 :
Are we nomads or sedentary today? Why?
Today we are sedentary because we don´t need to move for getting food.
And now let´s start the lesson.
Last day I told you about the main features of Neolithic period. Today I am going to explain you about the inventions of this period.
People became sedentary in Neolithic. That allowed them to have more time to think and develop tools. Life was easier than in the Paleolithic age and they could investigate about the use of new tools.
New tools were invented :
-
Pottery( Alfarería): It was developed to coock and to store food.
-
Hand Mill ( Piedra de moler) : It allowed them to obtain flour from grain.
-
Loom ( telar) : A new way of making clothes was developed. People started to make cloth instead of wearing animals skins.
-
Sickle( Hoz) : Allow people tu cut cereals.
-
Plough ( Arado): Made posible growing crops.
Ayer hablamos de las principales características del Neolítico. Hoy hablaremos de los inventos.
Los humanos se volvieron sedentarios, ya que la agricultura requiere de cuidados . También comenzaron a domesticar animales como el perro , el caballo , la vaca , la cabra... El hecho de no tener que desplazarse para conseguir alimentos hizo la vida del ser humano más sencilla y le permitió tener tiempo para pensar y desarrollar nuevas tecnologías y herramientas .
Surgieron nuevos inventos que cambiaron la vida de aquellas personas:
-
La Alfarería : La construcción de vasijas de barro , permitió almacenar comida y cocinar.
-
La piedra de moler o molino manual: Permitía obtener harina del grano que cultivaban.
-
El telar: Con el telar las personas ya podían fabricar sus propios tejidos y no tenían que vestir con pieles de animales.
-
La hoz : se inventó para segar rápidamente los campos de cereal.
-
El arado : El arado permitió aumentar la superficie que se cultivaba haciendo surcos en el suelo. Además se desarrollo el arado tirado por animales ( caballos, bueyes, ...) que redujo el esfuerzo que suponía cultivar.
Now read page 75 and copy this scheme in your notebook:
Ahora hacer esta ficha

Today we are going to study the Neolithic Age. But first watch this video .
Life changed a lot in the Neolithic age. Human became sedentary . Farming was discovered and people didn´t have to hunt or collect never again .
La vida cambió mucho en el Neolítico . La agricultura y la ganadería se descubrieron y la gente no tuvo que cazar o recolectar su comida. La agricultura hizo necesario establecerse en un lugar fijo para poder sembrar y cuidar los cultivos , por lo que el ser humano se volvió sedentario. Crecieron los asentamientos ( poblados) cerca de los ríos para poder regar los cultivos y hubo muchos avances tecnológicos.
Now copy this schee in your notebook and do exercises 1 and 2 from page 74:

Good Morning!
How was your weekend?
I hope you went for a walk.
I am going to correct the exercise that I gave you last friday.
A. The Child of Gran Dolina
B. He is eleven years old.
C.He lives in Atapuerca Burgos.
D. He mentions horses, deer , wolves bears.
Now let´s have a look at page 73.
The Palaeolithic started 5 million years ago. People were nomads . They didn´t live in the same place all the time . The used to follow the animal they hunted such us deers. so they didn´t biuld houses . They used to live in caves or they built shelters using branches and animal skins.
Live wasn´t easy for them . They discovered how to make tools . That helped them to hunt, sew, cut the meat in pieces, defend their homes...
They dicovered how to make fire and that was magnific. Fire allowed them to cook , to stay warm , to have light in the night, and to protect them from other animals such us bears or wolves.
Now read page 73 and copy this scheme in your notebook.
Now you can look for some information in Spanish in this website:

Good Morning!
Today we are beginning a new unit, unit 5 . In this unit we are going to study Prehistory in Spain .
History is divided in two periods , prehistory and history.
Prehistory is the longest period . It starts when the first humans appeared in the earth and it ends when the humans started to write.
But how humans appeared in the earth ?
This video shows the evolution of the humain being.
How do we know what happened in this period?
Archaeologists study historical events finding historical evidences. Archaeologists work in the achaeologist site digging in the ground to find out historical objects such us tools, bones , pottery...
Here you can see an archaeologist site . It is located in Atapuerca , Burgos Spain. There are many archaelogist digging in the place where some human being lived thousands years ago.
Now I want you to copy this scheme in your notebook.
Here you have a video that explains the main periods in prehistory and how were them.
And now you have to do exercises 2 and 3 from page 71.
Wednesday 6th May 2020
