Unit 6, Lesson 6: Paleolithic Era Inferences
Learning Target: I can make inferences about Paleolithic Era lifestyle
Class Activities:
1. Students came in and picked up a Paleolithic Lifestyles Handout. They began the do now, which was to read a passage from "Motel of Mysteries". It's supposed to be a joke, making fun of archaeologists and the inferences they make about history. Everything sounds really serious and scientific, but really what's being described is a motel room. Check out the passage, then look at the pictures. It'll make more sense.
Why did I assign it? Well, to show students that inferences probably aren't always correct, and we shouldn't always trust what we read.
2. Instead of reading a textbook excerpt about Paleolithic life, I passed out computers, and students went through a powerpoint that showed them different artifacts from the Paleolithic Era. They made inferences themselves.
