I can evaluate how influential civilizations are structured. 

2nd Block
1. Starter: What benefits do you see to using a concept mapping as a part of your learning?
 
2. Gallery Walk:

• Take a couple of post-it notes.
• At the top of one put a + and at the top of the other put a triangle.
• Walk around looking at other concept maps. For each one put something you like (+) and something that you have a question about or an improvement that could be made (triangle).

 
3. Self-Evaluation & Rigor Reflections

• Evaluate your concept map using the Concept Map rubric.
