Unit 6, Lesson 5: Hunter Gatherer Menu
Learning Target: I can describe the lifestyles of Paleolithic Era humans
Class Activities:
1. Students walked in and picked up the "Lifestyles of Paleolithic Era Humans" Handout. They began the do now, which was some map analysis questions about the spread of humans. The most important thing to notice is that the spread happened very slowly. They didn't know what the world looked like, they were simply following food and other resources.
2. We took some notes for Part 2 on the back:
3. At their tables, students pretended that they were hunter gatherers living about 50,000 years ago in Eastern North America and created a hunter-gatherer restaurant menu. I also gave them a cheat sheet of plants and animals that were around Eastern North America during this time. Then we shared our "best" dishes.
5. Students answered the questions for part 3.

2. We took some notes for Part 2 on the back:
- Where did hunter-gatherers live? No where! They were nomadic! (nomadic means roaming from place to place)
- Where did they get their food? They hunted it! And gathered it!
- Why didn't they just farm? They didn't know how yet. Not because they were stupid, but rather because they didn't have the collective knowledge yet.
