Description

OVERVIEW

In this lesson, students will read a passage about the White Shaman Rock Shelter pictographs in South Texas. Students will be able to explain the significance and challenges of using pictographic artifacts in the study of history. This lesson will give students a chance to better understand how modern people make inferences about past people and to understand that historical assertions based on these early artifacts are not absolute.

ESSENTIAL QUESTION

  1. What is one way early people of Texas told their stories, and how does it help us learn about their lives today?
