**Activity 1**: Illustration Teacher

Illustrate a vocabulary word from the early humans unit on a piece of 8 x 11 computer paper. Your teacher will give you your vocabulary word. Quickly research that word using resources around you (ie. your text book, the internet, dictionary.com, etc.) and define it. Remember many words in the English language have multiple meanings, make sure the definition you find goes along with the topic of early humans. Next, you will NEATLY write the word in bold at the top of the page, draw a colorful picture (using the whole piece of paper), and then include the definition in a sentence or two.

You will be responsible for teaching your classmates about that vocabulary word and how it relates to the early humans unit.

**Activity 2:** Can you survive the ice age?
