Thursday

 The ultimate goal is for you to be able to answer the following question:

Question: Explain how and why various native population in the period before European contact interacted with the natural environment in North America.

Before the arrival of Europeans, native populations in North America developed a wide variety of social, political, and economic structures based in part on interactions with the environment and each other.

Today, you will have time to research and work on your presentation for tomorrow. I'll have you put this info into google slides. A) You will need a map of the area. You can use the blank map I gave you if you wish (just make the area and take a photo of it  - be creative).  B) You will need a list of people (or groups) that lived in your area - C) include how the lived (hunting, farming, trading, etc), D) what they grew or ate; E) what type of structures they lived in (long houses, etc), F) roles for men/women, and G) anything else that may be of importance.

Your presentations should be long. You need at least three slides but can have up to seven (one for each sub-question).

The two videos listed on the blog from yesterday should help. Also, the assigned reading on Khan Academy should help as well. Please let me know if you have any questions.
