= **Teacher Page** = ==//Samuel Sicilia: 7th Grade Social Studies Teacher, Waverly Middle School, Lansing, MI.// Please feel free to use this WebQuest with your class. You may want to create a seperate blog for your class if you do, or even create a worksheet using the same questions, as the blog can get kind of crowded and you may want to be able to manage your own blog. But the blog I have set up should work, just be sure to guide your students through how to comment on a post. ==

Educational Goal
==== After completing this WebQuest students should understand how humans came to populate the earth, and how the advent of farming led to the development of cities and civilization. To demonstrate what they have learned students will participate in group blog discussion, (also, if possible students will create visual map/timeline in Google Earth that will illustrate what they have learned). ====
