Which would you rather do: A. read about the life of an early settler? B. cut small bricks from a few rolls of sod, stack to make four walls and finish your hut with a cardboard roof covered with small sticks, grass or straw? This exciting new series is designed not only to bring history to life for your students, these activities actually bring history into your classroom! Children will have the opportunity to become a part of the exciting adventure as they experience firsthand packing a sack with essentials for their journey to a new homestead in a new land. Children will learn to make a tin lantern; study the culture of the native peoples; make some settler foods and have a feast; investigate settler children's chores, toys, games, and pastimes; create an artifact museum and compare life then and now. Teachers are provided with background information, source materials and resources. So push back the desks and roll up your sleeves-here is history in the making!
