Now that we have researched Pre-Columbian Native Americans, we are ready to answer the question "Were Pre-Columbian Native Americans worthy of respect?".
Keep in mind, we are not trying to judge a civilization based on our values, but rather decide whether or not that civilization had culture. When historians and archaeologists study a civilization, they look at the culture to better understand its people. For our purposes, we have divided culture into three parts: Economic, Social, and Political.
Your job is to prove that Pre-Columbian Native Americans did have economic, social, and political cultures. Use the notes you wrote on the graphic organizer, and if necessary use the textbook.
Steps in this process:
1. complete the graphic organizer
2. complete the outline
3. write a rough draft
4. have rough draft peer edited
5. type a finished essay
6.. score the finished essay on the scoring guide
Turn-in: graphic organizer, outline, rough draft, the finished essay, and the scoring guide stapled together by the beginning of class, Wednesday, September 17th.
