Lesson 1 E Research Assignment:  Option 1: you must write a journal as if you were an explorer in the 15th and 16th centuries. You must tell me about the troubles you could run into finding financing, the different tools you would use, etc. You will then tell me about the different tribes you will encounter once you reach the new world. You should also create a Venn diagram that compares the native society to your European society. Option 2: You will research the various tribes that are presented in the chart. You will then take the information in the chart and place it in the cluster diagram. You will tell me how those different tribes adapted to their environment. Adaptation to the environment means what they did in order to survive the climate, what kind of food they ate, etc. For both of these options you must submit 2 assignment; the Venn diagram and the written portion for option 1 and the chart and cluster diagram for option 2. I hope this has helped to clear up some confusion. If you still have questions, please don't hesitate to ask.
