the lecture there will be a guided discussion about the difference between an invasion and

a migration with the students constructing the definitions and characteristics of each.

Then the class will come to a decision about whether the Aryans invaded India or migrated

to India.

Assessment Tasks: The students will create a “Who Am I?” chart in their permanent 10 mins

small groups. Each group will designate a “Clue-keeper”, a “Scribe”, and a “Speaker”.
Using the clues, each group will decide whether each clue relates to the Indus River

Civilization or the Aryans. Once they’ve agreed on where each clue needs to be placed,
the scribe will write the clues in their correct columns. The Clue-keeper will count and
 collect the clues and return them to the teacher, and the speaker will take
charge of the “Who Am I?” chart.

Wrap-up: The class will play the “Who Am I?” Chart Challenge: the teacher will read 5 mins

one clue to each group; the speaker will tell the class to whom the clue refers;

if another group thinks the answer is incorrect, they may pose a challenge; the class

votes “Thumbs Up/Thumbs Down” as to whether the group answered correctly.

Play moves to the next group and so on until all the clues are used.
