We have included details about their culture, language, food, clothing, and shelter. Encourage students to compare and contrast different tribes. 
Timeline Development - Chronological Order: We have designed worksheets that require students to arrange key events, achievements, or developments in Pre-Columbian America in chronological order. This helps them understand the progression of indigenous civilizations.
Primary Sources - Artifact Analysis: We present images and descriptions of Native American artifacts and tools. Ask students to analyze these primary sources to infer information about the culture and daily life of indigenous peoples.

Research Skills - Research Projects: Assign our research-based worksheets that require students to investigate specific topics, tribes, or regions in depth and present their findings in a structured format. Multimodal Learning: We use visuals, maps, and illustrations in worksheets to engage visual learners and enhance understanding.
