Getting to know you activity:

Our getting to know you activity will be a Jenga Game with review questions on the previous lesson of Early Americans. Through these review questions we will be able to get a grasp on the student’s prior knowledge and enable us to pre-assess the content in which they remember.

* If time allows, we will have the students pull puzzle pieces from a bag and answer “Getting to Know You Questions”. Once the students complete the question on the puzzle piece, they will put the piece in the middle of the table and once the questions are all answered they will collaboratively create the puzzle as a whole. Once the puzzle is completed we will explain to the students that although we are all different people and might like different things, we share a lot of things in common and we make up the beautiful world around us.

Review Jenga Questions:

• Summarize how early Americans used the animals they killed!
• How did the way of life change when the climate became warmer? 
•
