Chapter 2, Native American Environments

Chapter 2, Native American Environments

Students ask that I repost the bottom half of the study guide of Chapter 2. Remember, my goal is make Social Studies fun and interactive. Also, I must prepare Puma Thinkers for middle school, a place where projects are assigned for homework.

Think of the assignment as a view from a window 20, 000 years ago. What might you see? Remember not all Native Americans used feathers and bows; try to avoid using all images of bow and feather Native American, if possible.

Part I: Four window panes:

Create or draw a diagramed- model of one of all 4 Native American Environments. Label items; labeling avoids guessing and explains your thought process.

Include in each pane of the window:

• 3 bodies of water excluding the desert environment
• climate features
• 2 landforms used for human Adaptation
• Demonstrate people adapting to the area in each window pane.
• 1 paragraph written description explaining the model, Comparing and contrasting the window panes.

          Part II, Written description

           1 paragraph written description explaining the entire model, Comparing and contrasting the                        window panes.

Points (6 points each window + written paragraph 4 points ) total 30 points
