SPOTLIGHT ON INSTRUCTION
|
|
Mrs. Healy’s Big History class is currently learning about collective learning in early hunter gatherer societies. On this day they were presenting their group’s assigned hunter gatherer society. For the project each group had to create a menu based on each tribe’s specific location and diet. From that menu each group had to make and bring in a dish to share with the class. Each group also created a mural depicting life in that tribe and create 3 artifacts that may have been used/created by their tribe. Each class had a great time learning about the different hunter gatherer societies in early humans and sampling all of the food!
