Hunters and Gathers vs. Farming: A Simulation
During Mr. Jessee's history class, students learned about the earliest human species to walk the earth, including hunters and gatherers. They talked about their limitations and short life span due to being more alone and not being able to communicate. They then learned about the Neolithic Era, where people develop language and discover farming and specialization/cooperation. Students simulated this era by making performing different tasks in order to survive, including collecting water from our "river" (a bucket), hunting and gathering, and building a shelter. The first round was silent and on their own to represent the Paleolithic Era, and the second round was in groups with communication to represent the Neolithic Era.
