**Social Studies 6 ** **Earliest Americans Wiki Project **

Enduring Understandings:
Students will understand that the study of history is not a perfect science; it is a combination of fact and inference. A civilization’s artifacts provide important clues to social, political and economic development.

**Essential Question:**
====How does geography influence the development of society and culture? ====

**Project Overview: **
====As part of our investigation of early American history and culture, you will be using the Early Americans Wiki to research how elements of nature – geography, geology and climate – influenced the development of Native American civilization in the southwest and northeast. You will work with a partner to research a select culture and develop specific questions to guide your research. ====

**Procedure: **

 * Day 1** – Create wiki account, join wiki, familiarize yourself with navigation, and preview pages. Based on your preview, post 2 questions to the discussion page.


 * Day 2** – You will be assigned a partner and a specific Early American group to research. Analyze information from your page and write down questions that come to mind. You and your partner should develop 1 inquiry question and post it to the discussion page.


 * Day 3** – Gather more information about your group to answer your research question. Write up your information and post it to the discussion page.
