    __**FIRST SEMESTER August-December 2013**__   8/29-We're building a civilization. Day one we had to find food, water and shelter on our own with no help from friends and neighbors. Day two we did the same thing with a group. We hoped to learn the reason behind the formation of civilizations as extra supplies, time, and inventions led to more complex lives.
