=__Assignment 2__= Directions: Read the following information about the Minoans and the Mycenaeans and then answer the questions that follow **in your notebook**. The Minoans:** Minoan culture developed on the island of Crete in approximately 3,000 B.C.E. Minoan palace murals (wall paintings) and painted pottery show us a great sea culture, fueled by fishing, farming, and local arts. The Minoans were master sailors and set up long-distance trade routes with Spain, Egypt, Canaan, and Asia Minor. Socially, the Minoans were an egalitarian (equal) culture, with both men and women holding respected positions in the fields of religion, agriculture, and craftwork. Recreation enjoyed by the Minoans included dancing to music and song, "bull-leaping" - and boxing, complete with boxing gloves and mouth guards. The remarkable peace-loving character of the Minoan civilization is obvious because they didn't have fortresses, war equipment, and painted battle scenes among the remains of their settlements. The Minoan civilization is historically important to Greece because it was the model for the Mycenaean (pronounced my-sih-NEE-in) civilization which is considered the earliest developed culture on mainland Greece. Mycenae was settled in 2,700 B.C.E. Most of the myths about ancient Greek heroes and their famous battles come to us from the Mycenaeans. Later Greek poets such as Homer used these tales in their writings. The Mycenaeans spoke an early form of the Greek language, and developed an agricultural economy based on grains, grapes, and olives. Like the Minoans, they traded by sea with Egypt and Asia Minor. Unlike the Minoans, the Mycenaeans devoted most of their energies to developing a strong military. The circular royal tombs of Mycenae reveal collections of decorated uniforms, elaborate helmets, chariots, daggers, and axes. Horses were also extremely important to the Mycenaeans, as they were the vehicles of war. Mycenaean documents suggest that their society was hierarchical, with kings and soldiers in positions of power at the top of society, and prisoners of war who became slaves at the bottom of society who served the kings and soldiers. Other than artwork showing religious festivals and musical performances, very few artifacts of entertainment were left by the Mycenaeans.
 * __The Origins of the Greeks__

//1. What did the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations have in common?// //2. In what ways were the Minoan and the Mycenaean civilizations different?// //3. Why do you think so many aspects of Minoan civilization are found at Mycenae?// //4. What other geographical areas, besides Mycenae, might Minoan civilization have influenced?// //5. What aspects of Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations would you expect to have survived in later periods of Greek history?// //6. Using your **textbook pages 256-257**, explain how the decline of the Minoans and the Mycenaeans was similar.//

__Assignment 10__ Now that we are finished our unit about ancient India, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned. Please answer clearly and with details. Each answer must be at least two sentences. If you need reminders of what we did, just scroll through the assignments on this page or look through your notes.

1. The single most important thing I learned was... The single most important thing I learned was the Indian achievements. Because I was always curious that who made math and the numbers that we use today. 2. Something that confused me or that I didn't understand was... The Mauryan empire because the sage couldn't explain very much so I couldn't get lots of information that might be on the quiz. And even though I wrote down the notes but I still didn't get it. So I went in the textbook and checked if my informations were correct. 3. What surprised me the most was... The most surprising thing was that Indians knew 7 of 9 planets. Because not lots of people knew about planets. And not lots of people didn't know about planets during ancient civilization. 4. I would like to know more about... I would like to know more about Mauryan Empire. Because I didn't get lots of information during Assignment 9 Sages part. 5. The part that I think I will always remember was... The part that I think I will always remember was that Indians made math and numbers that we use today. Because I always wanted to know who made the numbers that we still use today.

=**__Assignment 9__**=
 * Source:** Online Textbook pages 162-171


 * Directions:** You are a sage and you will teach your classmates a part of ancient India's history. The four parts (groups) are...
 * Group 1: The Mauryan Empire (page 162-163, 166)
 * Group 2: The Gupta Empire (page 164-165)
 * Group 3: Indian Achievements- Religious Art & Sanskrit Literature (page 167-169)
 * Group 4: Indian Achievements- Scientific Advances (page 170-171)

Each part has (or might have) pictures, illustrations, maps, dates, vocabulary words, and important people. Your job as a sage is to become an expert on your part so you will be able to comfortably and confidently teach others. Remember that if you don't understand the information, you won't be able to teach others properly. Follow these steps to become a great sage:

__**Steps**__
 * 1) Read all the information on the pages you are responsible for. Don't just read the main parts, look at the other information such as maps or diagrams or pictures.
 * 2) Take notes in your notebook and answer the **//Reading Check//** question after each section to make sure you understand the information. You also have to answer the questions about your section from **page 176** (section 4 or 5).
 * 3) Present the information to your students but first decide how you are going to present the information. Will you just talk about the information (this can be boring) or will you use visuals or give a slideshow presentation (this can be more interesting)? Remember that your students have not read the information and are counting on you to teach them in an interesting and educational way.
 * 4) Check your students understanding. How will you check if your students understood the information? Will you make up questions to ask them? Will you ask them to write answers to the questions you had to answer in step 2? What else will you do? Will you ask your students to create something that shows their understanding? Think about how you are taught at school and the activities you do in your classes. Your students would probably have more fun if they made something that shows they understand the information.
 * 5) Your students must do the work you give them. They (**and you**) must also do the following:
 * add at least two important events to their timelines (you choose the important events from your part)
 * add two markers/labels to their scribble map (you choose what should be labeled from your part)
 * 1) Finally quiz and grade your students using the resources Mr. Tabbara shows you.

=__Assignment 5__=
 * Website: [|India-Government]

Use the website above to answer these questions 1. Why would having a central government help in planning and organizing a city? Having central government would help planning and organizing a city because of the lay out of the city that was most likely the same between all of the cities. 2. Who were Rajahs? Rajahs were the rulers of the cities. 3. What is a Guru? Guru is a type of a teacher. 4. What subjects were taught in school? Students were taught religious nature for their school subject. 5. Who was in charge of the government? Indus priest was in charge of the government. 6. Why did people look up to the priests? People look up to the priests because priests were one of the highest people when it came to the social levels, and they are the one who made the offering to the gods. 7. Look up the word 'sage' in any dictionary. What does it mean and what word from questions 1-6 is it similar to? The word "sage" means a proudly wise man, one who features in ancient history or legend. I think the word "wise" is similar to questions 1-6 because as you see in the question 6, it tells that lots of people look up to the priest because they were one of the highest people when it came to the social levels, and they are the one who made the offerings to the gods. Also you need to be wise to be a highest man. So I think the word "wise" is similar to questions 1-6. **

=__Assignment 4__= 1. What varna were you in during the caste system simulation? My varna was Sudra in during the caste system simulation. 2. What was your favorite part about the caste system simulation? Why? My favorite part about caste system simulation was being creative and entertaining because for Vaisyas, their groups were creative and funny. I think it was because Vaisyas were craftspeople and they followed Brahmins very nicely. I think that's why it was entertaining. 3. What part of the simulation made you angry, upset, or frustrated? Why? When Brahmins told us to dance "Abracadabra" and if we don't dance, Brahmins made us bow (in Korean way) 20 times appropriately. 4. Do you think this system is fair? Why or why not? I don't think the system is not fair because there were different social levels. Sudras will be worship Brahmins, and Sudras will be doing any work that Brahmins told to do. For Vaisyas, lots of people would make things for Brahmins, and trade for Brahmins. Kshatriyas would just be warriors and might just guard Bramin's door. Finally Brahmins, makes people work, and make people worship for them. 5. Do you think a society should organize people into social classes? Why or Why not? Yes, even though people might feel bad, but people should organize into social classes. Because if you are not organized people into social classes, there wouldn't be someone who's ruling the that part of land. If people are not read but other people (who's ready) attacks them. They will just die. So I think that's why you need to organize people into social classes.

Each answer should be at least two sentences long with specific information. **

1. What have you learned about daily life in Mohenjo-Daro from this activity? I learned that people in Mohenjo-Daro played game as you know that they played some games with dices are made out of clay. I also learned that they farmed by using cart usually big animals to pull the cart. Also if you are farming you need some big animals, so I noticed that one of their daily life was to farm. I learned that they were clean because there were some drains that the dirty water flows down. 2. Which characteristics of civilization do you see represented in the artifacts you looked at? Explain. -System of government: Yes, I think there was system of government in Mohenjo-Daro because there is a statue which is a king or very high person. -A regular food supply: Yes, I think there was a regular food supply because there was some farmers and big animals pulling the cart.

In what ways do you think Mohenjo-Daro was like a modern city? I think Mohenjo-Daro is like a modern city because there is a drain that can trash dirty waters. As you know in modern city there is like an drain hole that sometimes the water falls in to I think it is almost the same as the modern city right now. They had entertainment games to play like us! They used scales to measure objects at market. 4. Why do you think it is difficult for us to know exactly what life was like in ancient civilizations like those in the Indus-Sarasvati region? Because other civilizations might have attacked them. 5. What do you think might have contributed to the decline of Mohenjo-Daro? I think other cities might have contributed to decline Mohenjo-Daro because even though some buildings were built as bricks, as the brick touches the fire, it will be very weak. So I think other countries might attack them, so Monhenjo-Daro might decline. **

 * 1. What was discovered during the excavations of Mohenjo-Daro?


 * Directions: Look at the map above, read the text below, and answer the following questions on your wiki page:**

In the 1990's, satellite pictures revealed an ancient, dried riverbed located in India's present-day Thar Desert. Geologists have identified this riverbed as the route of the ancient **Sarasvati River**. The Sarasvati lay east of the Indus River and generally followed the same course, originating in the Himalaya mountains and emptying into the Arabian Sea. Geologists believe that the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E. Over time, the once fertile area around the Sarasvati evolved into the dry, hot desert that exists today. Early Indian agricultural settlements arose in the Indus-Sarasvati river region at least as far back as 6500 B.C.E. Like many other ancient peoples, the early Indians settled by rivers. They settled primarily on the banks of the Sarasvati River as well as along the banks of the Indus River. These rivers provided the ancient Indians with plenty of water, and the land near the rivers was fertile and excellent for growing crops. The rivers also provided the Indians with a convenient way to travel and trade among themselves and with other civilizations. Archeologists have found artifacts from the Indus-Sarasvati civilization - such as carved seals - in Mesopotamia's Sumer. These discoveries have led scholars to believe that the early Indians traded with Mesopotamia, possibly by traveling in ships down the Indus and Sarasvati rivers to the Arabian Sea and then west to Sumer and other locations. After the Sarasvati River dried up around 1900 B.C.E., the Indus-Sarasvati Indians moved to more habitable areas, such as the fertile banks of the Ganga river further east. Archeological evidence shows, however, that people settled by the Ganga River as far back as 5000 B.C.E.


 * Questions:**

1. In what ways is your map similar to the one that you see in the map above? The line that we drew on the map and the map above looks similar also the places that we marked was the same as the map above. They are almost the same. 2. What physiographic features can you identify on this map that are not on your map? The Sarasvati River was one of physiographic feathures that was not labeled on my map. 3. Why do you think settlements developed along the Indus and Sarasvati rivers? Explain with clear and complete details. I think settlements developed along the Indus river because first of all there are lots of blue dots the most. Second of all near Indus river is very fertile. Last, also it was close to the Khyber pass to go through. 4. Accurately draw and label the ancient Sarasvati River on your map. 5. Why did ancient Indian people eventually migrate to the Ganga River? After the Sarasvati River dried up. Since Ganga River was very fertile, Indian people migrated.

Because it was complicated to memorize all the steps and it was also hard to memorize all the words they to mummify the body. 3. What surprised me the most was... Queen Hatshepsut surprised me the most when she acted like a man even though she was a woman. She acted out like a man because she wanted to be like a king. 4. I would like to know more about... I would like to know more about India. Because since it is a new part that we need to learn and I want to know more about India. ** (Your answer should be about Egypt not India.) ** 5.

=__Assignment 7__= Read the information here about the three kingdoms in ancient Egypt. The problem with these three paragraphs is that each paragraph does not have specific details or evidence. Your task is to find specific details and evidence from our textbook for the information presented in each paragraph about each kingdom. Then re-write the paragraph adding the new specific details and evidence you found. Write the new paragraph on your wiki page. The Old Kingdom (2700 BCE - 2200 BCE) Specific details and evidence can be found on pages 98-100 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about... ** Pharaohs had absolute power and were considered gods on earth. But that's not why this kingdom is renamed "The Pyramid Age". The definition of a word Pyramids mean, huge, stone tombs with four triangular shaped and has a point on the top. Pharaohs were buried in pyramids only during this time period in history. Lots of workers made the Pyramid. The workers were payed. The size of The Great Pyramid of Khufu is,more than 13 acres at its base and stands 481 feet high. After building a few pyramids, at great expense to the state, it occurred to pharaohs that pyramids were rather easy to spot, and thus, much easier to rob than a hidden tomb. __**Part 2**__ The Middle Kingdom (2100 BCE - 1800 BCE) Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 101-102 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...

The middle kingdom was Egypt's Golden Age. Trade flourished, arts and literature flourished. “The Old Kingdom”, the wealth and power of the pharaoh declined. Egypt built strong armies to defend herself against her neighbors.During the Middle Egypt, people wanted to conquer the Lower Egypt. They used horses, chariots, and advanced weapon. During the time period of the middle kingdom, pharaohs were expected to be good kings and wise rulers. Ahmose was a king and drove the Hyksos out of Egypt. Also, Ahmose was involved in the wars/battles. And pharaohs were buried in hidden tombs, all over the place. Most probably, there are tombs yet to be discovered because they were hidden so well. Specific details and evidence about this kingdom can be found on pages 102-103 in our textbook. Your specific details and evidence should give more information about...**
 * the difference with the Old Kingdom

 * Source:** How to Mummify Nefermaat
 * Directions:** Go to the link above to mummify a body. As you work to mummify the body, answer the following questions __** clearly and with details **__ on your wiki page.
 * 1) Why did Egyptians want to [|preserve] dead bodies? Because if you don't preserve their body, they won't be able to find their own spots.
 * 2) How did they [|preserve] bodies? What is this process of preservation called? They mummified to preserve their bodies. Process of preservation is called Mummification.
 * 3) Explain how the brain was removed from the dead body. Why was the brain removed? You need to use the hook to take the brain out. When you need to pull the pieces from the nose. And Egyptians thought that brains were not that important.
 * 4) Name the four internal organs that were removed from the body. What was done with these organs? The four internal organs are: intestines, stomach, liver, and lung. The four organs were kept in jars.
 * 5) What did they do with the heart? Why? People
 * 6) What is natron and why was it used? Using your scribble map of Egypt, name the area where natron came from. Natron is from Wadi el Natron. The another name for natron is salt. It was used to dry your body. (Take moisture out)
 * 7) How was [|linen] used during mummification? Linen is used when you cover up your body with resin, and next, you need to wrap your body with linen.
 * 8) What are [|amulets] and how were they used? Give two examples of amulets that were used and explain why they were used. Amulets are used after you linen your body. They are shaped stone. It's like a jewelry. Two Examples are: Djed Pillar was a symbol of stability and the god of Osiris. "The Heart Amulet" was an Amulet in the shape of a heart, placed on the mummy to protect its heart in the afterlife.
 * 9) What happens to the body after it was mummified__?__ You put a mummy mask on, and put the body in to the tomb.

=__Assignment 4__= God that I like the most: I liked "Bes." Because even though he's small, but he could protect him self when he gets a bite from snake and scorpions. I think he's very nice of him that he is a protector of pregnant woman, newborn babies, and family. God that I don't like the most: I disliked "Geb" the most. Because if he goes out to the war and he had three bodies together, he would be hard to kill other people. One of the god in the middle, might be the most hard one comparing two left gods. Because one on the up, he would just stay on the middle one. So I think they would not be able to kill people at the war.
 * Part 1:** Go to this [|site] and read about the different Egyptian gods and goddesses . Choose one of these that you would like to be and explain why you would like to be that god orgoddess . Then choose one that you would __**not**__ want to be and explain why. Make sure your explanations are **middle school quality explanations**.

In Mesopotamia, I found a God called "Dumuzi." He is a god of underworld. As we learned, underworld means hell. So, if there is any death bodies the bodies usually had sent to Dumuzi. In Egypt, I found a God called "Anubis." He is a god of embalming and the death. Embalming means to preserve a body. As we watched the movie from youtube, I learned that if a Pharaoh dies their body would preserve. I think Egyptians had believed that Pharaoh will alive. I think two of these gods are related because these gods were talked about __UNDERWORLD__.
 * Part 2:** Compare these Egyptian gods and goddesses with the [|Mesopotamian gods and goddesses]. Did you find similar gods? Name the gods/goddesses and clearly explain the similarities? Why do you think they are similar even though Egypt and the Mesopotamian civilizations were different?

 * Directions: Answer the following questions clearly and with details on your wiki page.**

1. Read the //If YOU were there section//. How do you feel about working for the pharaoh? If I were working for the pharaoh, I would feel sort of bad. Because pharaoh is just sitting there and telling other people who's working below him. But we have to do things, even though we're just below them. So I think I would feel bad when I work for the pharaoh. 2. Eventually the Third Dynasty began in ancient Egypt. The Third Dynasty was the beginning of what historians call ............. . When did it start and end? It was called the "Old Kingdom." The Old Kingdom started at 2700 B.C.- 2200 B.C. 3. Explain how ancient Egyptians felt about their country and their pharaoh. The ancient Egyptians believed that Egypt belonged to the gods. Because People who's lower than the gods, they need to work by getting some work to do. So I think that's why that ancient Egyptians believed that Egypt belonged to the gods. 4. What were the responsibilities of the pharaoh? But the pharaoh’s status as both king and god came with many responsibilities. People blamed him if crops did not grow well or if disease struck. They also demanded that the pharaoh make trade profitable and prevent wars. 5. What is best known about the famous pharaoh, Khufu? Can you name a specific monument built for him? Khufu was the ruler of the Egypt. Egyptian legend says that he was cruel, but historical records tell us that the people who worked for him were well fed. Khufu is best known for the monuments that were built to him. 6.a Clearly explain the structure of society in the Old Kingdom. (Note: This should be a long answer.) The structure of society in the Old kingdom: The "Middle class". The middle class included lesser govern officials. This class is a middle class. It is a bit lower than King, Priests, and nobles. The "Lower class". More then 80 percent of the population. For example farmer, slaves, and servants. So they were very poor. 6.b. What may be some advantages and disadvantages of such a large segment of the population being farmers, servants, and slaves? Advantage: We could have knowledge of working. Disadvantage: We have to work for the king. Why don't they work by themselves? 6.c. What did farmers do during flood season? Farmers couldn't work at the fields, so the farmers help building pharaoh's project. 7. Clearly explain trading in ancient Egypt (what w as traded and who they traded with). In ancient Egypt, they trade lots of things. Those things were gold, copper, ivory, slaves from Nubia and stones for building. 8. Define the word //**acquire**//. Use //**acquire**// in an original sentence. The word **//acquire//** means: To get The Original sentence: The ancient Egyptians acquired slaves to work for them. 9. Using the drawing of Egyptian society on page 94, explain where Viziers would be placed? They should be where noble is. So in between Pharaoh and Noble.

Good Mesopotamian God Lamassu: Lamassu is one of the Mesopotamian God. He he half human but half animal. Then if I am half horse body and half normal person, I would be fast when I ride the horse. And I would be see able to see as a color (eye sight). So this is why I chosed this God. Bad Mesopotamian God Tiamat: Tiamat is a god in Babylonian Epic of creation. She usually gets mean and angry. Her plan was to destroy other kings. Other people thought of killing Tiamat, but since Tiamat was strong, all the other king was scared. If I would be Tiamat, I would be very sad, because if I am Tiamat, I do not have any legs that I can walk with.

1. Read the "If you were there..." section on page 74. How will you advise the King? I think we should get equal punishment. Even though a person is very rich, but a person who is poor, they will get same amount of punishment. Rich people shouldn't get the less punishment. So I think 2 people should get the same punishment. 2. What happened to Ur by 2000 BCE? By 2000 B.C.E., Ur lay in ruins. With Ur's power gone, several waves of invaders battled to gain control of Mesopotamia. 3. Where was Babylon located? Babylon was located where the Euphrates River near what is today Baghdad, Iraq. 4. Who became the king of Babylon? When did he become king? Hammurabi became Babylon's king. Haummurabi became the king in 1792 BC. 5. What is a monarch?1 Monarch is a ruler of a kingdom or empire. 6. After conquering all of Mesopotamia, what did Hammurabi call his empire? He called his empire as Babylonian Empire. 7. Hammurabi was a great warrior and leader. What other skills did he have? Hammurabi was good at irrigation projects, buildings project, and controlling a big Empire. 8. What is Hammurabi's Code? What areas of daily life did the code cover? Hammurabi's Code was a set of 282 laws that dealt with almost every part of daily life. There was laws on everything from trade, loans, and theft to marriage, injury, ad murder. It contained some ideas that are still found in laws today. 9. Give two reasons why Hammurabi's Code was important. Hammurabi ruled for 42 years. There are two reasons...... - Because it was written down for all to see. - People all over the empire could read exactly what was the against the law. 10. What eventually happened to the Babylonian Empire? How is this similar to what happened to the Akkadian Empire? He brought much prosperity through increased trade. 11. Read the different laws in the [|Code of Hammurabi on this site] and choose **three** that you think are interesting. __** Copy **__ the three laws and their **numbers**onto your page. Then for **each** law, explain why you think it's interesting. You can write about if you disagree or agree with the law or if you think the law is a good law or a cruel law. - 6. If any one steal the property of a temple or of the court, he shall be put to death, and also the one who receives the stolen thing from him shall be put to death. ( I don't get why they are going to put a person in to the death when they stoled their temple things. They could just tell them to give it to him or something. So I disagree!) - 205. If the slave of a freed man strike the body of a freed man, his ear shall be cut off. (I really disagree to this law because it would be really unfair to the freed man, because he cut freed man's body but here's get cut. I think the man who killed freed man should get killed. - 210. If the woman die, his daughter shall be put to death. (I disagree to this law because even though women died because she was too old, then, if a daughter was a 10 days old baby. Would they still kill that baby? Killing a baby is really a bad thing. Now way that could happened.)

__**Trader's Circuit questions**__ 1. What part of the game did you like the best? Why? I liked the trading the best. Because I learned how to trade in the same worth of money. And know how to see the difference between two or more materials. 2. During the game, how did you feel and why did you feel that way? I felt so jealous about other people getting "Monopolies." There is two reasons, first I wanted to continue the game, and I didn't want to lose. 3. What part of the game was difficult for you? The part of the game that was most difficult was when I just need 1 stones card, but other people in our groups said the word "Monopoly." So I was bit angry. 4. In your opinion, what advantage is there to having a monopoly of an entire product/resource such as dates or jewelry? I would have dates because not lots of people will have a monopoly of jewelry because it worth a lot and it's really expensive. <span class="currency_converter_link">5. What part of the game would you change if you played it again? Why? When we had 4 groups total, I wish this is a group version. So what I mean is, if group 1 and 2 started the game, then if group 1 shouted "Monopoly" first, that wins. So I wish the rule changes by cooperating each other as a group. <span class="currency_converter_link">6. In this game, was it better to cooperate with another player or to be selfish and try to get all the products/resources for yourself? Why? I think it's better to cooperate with another player. Because as I told you, it was really unfair to make "Monopolies," So I think it's better to cooperate with another player.

Wheels: We need wheels to make a car go. It means, if we don't wheels, our cars, motorcycle, bike won't go. 2. Frying Pans: We need use frying pans to cook. If we don't have any frying pans, we can't cook. We can barely cook with plate, but it's good to use frying pans for cooking 3. Hammers and axes: We can fix or put the nails back. For example, you want to put the picture on the wall, then you might need to use nails and hammers to put it together. It would work by using with a hard rock or a stick, but right now in 21st century, we use hammers and nails to put the picture on the wall. __**Assignment 3**__ Are you smarter than a Neolithic person?

(Note: Simply saying you have cell phones and she doesn't is an unacceptable answer.) First, her culture is way different than mine. For example, now were in Neolithic period. But Jookie looks like she's in Paleolithic period. Second, the clothes are way different than ours. For example, they wear wools or fur that changed to a clothes. But even though the weather changes, they wear same clothes, but we can change our clothes even though the weather has been changed. Third,these days when doctors do surgery, they usually uses knife or other things to surgery but in Jookie's life, they uses rock and just take the skin off and uses the rock to open people's head. So I think these are bit disgusting. But I think these are the difference between Jookie's 12 years old living in Catal Huyuk.  =__Assignment 7__ = Answer these questions clearly and completely on your wiki page. 1. What was the main difference between life in the Paleolithic period and life in the Neolithic period?  The main difference between life in the Paleolithic period and life in the Neolithic period is, Paleolithic period is old and not very useful to many other people. But in Neolithic Period, it is very new and it's very useful tools to many other people. Another difference is farming. (Farming started in Neolithic period.) 2. How did people's lives change as they began to domesticate plants and animals during the Neolithic period? The people's lives changes as they began to domesticate plants and animals during the Neolithic period, because usually many hunters cut off like a goat's horn to make them calm. So animals can be calm. So these were the domesticate plants of animals has changed in Neolithic period. 3. What are some advantages and disadvantages of the changes in daily life that occurred as a result of the development of agriculture? Advantage of the daily life that occurred as a result of the development of agriculture is that we can have our foods even though the weather is in winter. Also the disadvantage is that even though we could go to our farm and work, but we still need to work to make moneys or something. Crops could fail and people could die.
