Types of Homes

Worksheet Description

This worksheet focuses on the various types of homes historically used by Native American tribes. It lists different dwelling names such as Tipi, Adobe House, Plank House, Long House, and Wigwam, and provides two columns alongside each for students to engage with. The first column is for students to write a brief description of each type of home after conducting research, and the second column is for them to draw or paste a picture that represents the described home.

The purpose of this worksheet is to teach students about the diverse living structures developed by Native American tribes adapted to their environments and needs. It encourages independent research skills, as students must look up information on each type of home. The task also allows for creativity and understanding through the drawing or pasting of images, aiding in the visualization of the textual descriptions they provide. This activity not only educates about historical habitats but also promotes a deeper appreciation of indigenous ingenuity and architecture.
