Native American Simulation

In class, we are learning about five civilizations of the americas; the Iroquis, Algonquin, Pueblo, Aztec and Inca.  I knew that most civilizations grew maize (corn), squash and beans.  I learned that the Iroquis were made up of 5 tribes and that they were famous for their Society of False Faces.  We were all put into groups (jigsaw groups) and we learned information about our assigned civilization.  After we collected all of our information, we got put into 5 groups, with one person from each group and we exchanged information.  It was very helpful to learn about five american tribes and they were all very interesting.
