Model History Lesson Plan:

Monday, January 14, 2008

Class: VII
Sub: History
Topic: Tracing changes through thousands of years

Duration: 2 periods

Objectives of the Lesson:
To enlight the children that why the early people moved from one place to another.
To create imagination thinking power among the children.
- To identify the tools and skills used by early communities and their children.
- To compare the knowledge of the children of those times with the present generation
To enlight children about how we came to know about these early communities.
To enlight about the site, uses of stone tolls and stone tool making .

Chronology: The Mesolithic period (12,000-10,000 years ago) the beginning of the Neolithic (10,000 years ago)

Gist of the lesson: The early people were used to move from one place to another for their livelyhood.
The main means of their livelihood was food gathering and animal hunting. Obviously we can found food gatherers in palaeolithic and mesolithic times.
The people of early communities excelled themselves with hunting, food gathering, stone tools making, bone tools making , cave painting, use of fire etc. Before 12000 years due to climatic changes early communities adopted new occupations like herding and cultivating crops etc
As the time was passed on their stone tool making underwent evolution and they starting using microliths in mesolithic period and smooth stone tools in neolithic age.
The traces of early communities can be traced through the places where the remainings of things (tools, pots,buildings etc.) were found. These were made, used and left behind by people. These may be found on the surface of the earth, buried under the earth, or sometimes even under water. Sites vary from area to area these include open sites, cave sites, sites near by river banks, lake dwellings etc.
Stone tools were probably made using two different techniques:
1. The first is called stone on stone. Here, the pebble from which the tool was to be made (also called the core) was held in one hand. Another stone, which was used as a hammer was held in the other hand. The second stone was used to strike off flakes from the first, till the required shape was obtained.
2. Pressure flaking: Here the core was placed on a firm surface. The hammer stone was used
on a piece of bone or stone that was placed onthe core, to remove flakes that could be shaped into tools.

Key words: hunter-gatherer, site, habitation, factory, Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, microliths
Multiple Methods of Teaching together (selected out of these mentioned):
