Students will practice and perfect the following: 
listening in class to mini-lectures
note taking with handouts
reviewing notes 
giving answers in class based on notes
taking mini-informal quizzes using notes
learning new academic vocabulary:
                    archeological evidence
                    evidence based conjecture
                    hypothesis

My desire is to hook learners on history, by presenting captivating people and relay how artifacts from the past present us with stories about lives from long ago.  As a college rhetoric professor I've found that students will learn very challenging material if they are able to present to me what they already know and either challenge or build upon that knowledge. Moreover, I frame learning about history by teaching students how to become mini-academics and look at artifacts using some of the very basic skills an archeologist would use. Students will become active learners as they attempt to use these skills to figure out why these successful and unique societies suddenly vanished.
