1 & 2 September

The starter for today is: What is culture?  Give me one example of culture that is unique to Utah, Utah County, or Vista Heights.

Today we finished the overview of United States Geography.  We also read a newspaper article about an archaeological find in Southern Utah.

We listened to some American Indian music to help set the mood for our brief overview of American Indians.

We looking at some pictures of American Indian dwellings and made predictions about how they lived and the type of culture they had, based on what we could  observe.  The purpose of these slides was to help us see the different ways that three American Indian tribes adapted to their surroundings.  This is in preparation for our test next week.  If you would like a sneak peek of the test, look at my webpage!

We started working on the American Indian assignment.  Doing well on this will help you on the test next week.
