Warm-up, learn, try it together, practice, then a quick check. About 15 minutes.
What children learn in Level 25
- People made clothes and homes from what their land gave them. This table compares all six regions.
- Where there were forests, people built with wood and bark: cedar plank houses in the Northwest and bark longhouses in the Northeast.
- Where there were few trees, people used other things: adobe mud in the Southwest, earth and bones in the Arctic, and bison hides on the Plains.
- Making a table: put the regions down the side and the things you compare across the top. Then fill in each box!
Georgia Standards of Excellence in Social Studies:
