I am very excited about our study of the early people of the desert southwest. During this study we will be learning about the Hohokam, the Anasazi, the Mogollon, and the Pueblo civilizations. Due the types of materials we will be using assessment is more difficult for this lesson, students will not be able to take most of the literature out of the classroom. So, instead of a traditional test students will have a two part assessment. Part 1 will be to create a collage of pictures representing the desert southwest. This collage is to be regular typing paper size, and it will be worth 20 points. The collage is due on March 22nd. The second part will be a vocabulary assessment worth 80 points. The vocabulary test will be on March 22nd.
