Learning Intention

I will connect early computing innovations to ancient and classical technologies through video and research.

✅ Success Criteria

I know I’ve got it when I’ve added 3 new events to my Canva timeline with notes from today’s work.

🧠 Tech Journal Prompt (5 min)

Which ancient innovation (abacus, aqueduct, papyrus, wheel) do you think had the biggest long-term impact, and why?

📚 Vocabulary (Quick Hit Review)

• Algorithm – step-by-step instructions to solve a problem.
• Innovation – a new method or device that changes how people live.

📣 Mini-Lesson / Lecture (15 min)

1. Watch Crash Course Ep. 1 – Early Computing.
2. Watch Crash Course Ep. 2 – Electronic Computing.
   • Pause after each for a 2-min partner talk: “What tech stood out to you, and why?”
3. Teacher highlights key anchors: Abacus, Antikythera, ENIAC.

🤝 Work Time (25–30 min)

• Guided Skim: Ancient → Rome section (students pull 2–3 innovations into notes).
• Add at least 3 new events to Canva timeline with 1-sentence impacts + 2–3 note sentences.
