Engage your students with this investigation activity! This purchase includes a hook sorting card activity to get students thinking about how our environments influence our culture and the way we live. Then, students will work in pairs or small groups to figure out where four mystery tribes of North America must have lived based on their cultural characteristics and seven map resources that will be assembled in a classroom gallery. Finally, guide your students through a Close Read of a text that looks at one particular tribe, the Powhatan, and how their environment influenced their day-to-day lives. Assess your students using the passage-based written response prompt and score responses using the included rubric!
Great use of Common-Core Reading integration!
