This learning resource focuses on the pivotal transition from foraging to farming in early civilizations, particularly in the Fertile Crescent. Students will engage in hypothesizing the reasons behind a tribe's shift from a nomadic lifestyle to a sedentary one, centered around the harvesting of wild emmer wheat. The activity involves a thinking routine called See-Think-Wonder, encouraging students to observe an image, reflect on their thoughts regarding the situation depicted, and articulate their wonderings. A driving question prompts deeper inquiry into the benefits of staying by a wheat patch instead of following migrating herds, allowing students to consider various factors such as food security, safety, and energy expenditure. A formative check encourages students to reflect on their changing perspectives about nomadic versus sedentary lifestyles.
