Lifestyle Changes Over Time
Suggested Adaptations for Puzzles from the Past: Problem Solving Through
Archeology
This trunk contains items useful in talking about how the lives of Native Americans living in Kansas changed over time. These items represent three basic time periods:
640 to 480 B.C.
A.D. 1470 to 1570
late 1600s to mid 1700s
To examine lifestyle changes with this trunk, it is recommended that you review Lesson 4 and adapt it for your needs. In this lesson the green cards and their associated objects represent the years 640 to 480 B.C.; the peach cards and their associated objects represent A.D. 1470 to 1570; and the yellow cards and their associated objects represent the late 1600s to the mid 1700s.
Examples of possible ways to adapt this lesson include:
Hand out the 15 stratigraphy cards for Native American communities to students. Using the photo on the card, have students select the object their card deals with and group themselves according to the color of their cards. Explain that the green group represents Indians that lived the longest ago, the peach represents those who lived the next longest ago, and the yellow the most recent. Use the objects, Worksheet 10, and the Answer sheet for Worksheets 8 and 9 (one answer sheet) to provide an image of what their lifestyles were like. Have students compare and contrast the three time periods.
Have the objects grouped by time period based on the color of the stratigraphy cards they are pictured on. Use the objects, the Answer sheet for worksheets 8 and 9 (one answer sheet), and Worksheet 10 to describe the lives of the people who used these types of objects. Have students create a Venn diagram to compare and contrast lives of Native Americans from these three time periods.
