Welcome Teachers! The lessons contained in this unit introduce students to historical documentation and archaeological information relating to changes through time in subsistence strategies and human adaptation. Students will investigate how people make their living in the Hondo Valley today, will utilize oral history interviews and historical data to learn how people made a living in the valley a generation or two ago, and will use archaeological information to understand prehistoric subsistence patterns. Students will conduct research to learn specific facts, organize and summarize information by time period, compare and contrast subsistence patterns as they have changed through time, determine reasons for change, predict trends, and draw conclusions based on the analysis of their data. The lessons are structured to enable the students to look at three distinct time periods that of their parents and the current work force (through interviews and research), that of their great-grandparents (from oral histories and documentation), and that of the prehistoric time period (from archaeological information). These three periods are separated by sufficient time to show clear economic change. Please use the link below to access all of the Lesson Plan details.
