Did you know that 10,000 - 40,000 years ago people used the Bering Strait Land Bridge and they began coming to the America's from Asia? In the next two chapters we will be learning of different cultures that helped shape the world as we know it today.We will be learning about the early life of the Anasazi, Aztec, Inca, Iroquois, Great Plains, Hopi, and Northwest Coast Native Americans and how these early cultures developed in different parts of North America. You will we required to do a a project to showcase these different cultures. Below I have a note-taking guide to help you find key ideas about your group. Under the note-taking guide you will find a rubric that will show you what is required to obtain the grade you wish to obtain. Good Luck

Here is the link to what is to be expected in your project.
