The Big Essay

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.
