Read their responses and answer the reflection questions as a reply to their post.
PART 1: Prompt Questions:
How did indigenous groups utilize monumental architecture, agriculture, science, spirituality, and their understanding of the cosmos to improve their lives?
Choose one of the following clips below & answer the prompt question above. Responses should have a 250 word count (not including the questions), include information from the video clip, use parenthetical citation when referencing the video clip, ie (Ep 3 Cities) or (Ep 4 Trade), and make a connection to either the lecture, (Lec 2), or readings. When using the readings, use the following parenthetical citation, (Mesopotamia) / (Egyptian) / (Harappa) / (Xia) / (JSTOR). The minutes in parentheses are the times you should watch the film. There is no need to watch the entire video unless you really want too.

Refection
- What did you find most interesting/thought-provoking/upsetting?
- How does this module connect to current events/issues?
- How does this module connect to you? (this is not a literal question and even if you think it does not, it does, this is where your critical thinking cap comes in. Think of gender roles, job specialization, trade as in shopping, consumerism, and technology, & pets like dogs and cats)
Content Check
