Reflection Questions:
Which group contributed the most to American society and culture? Explain your answer using specific examples from the lesson.
The group that contributed the most to American society and culture is the Native Americans. They came up with the famous game lacrosse that is played by schools and other organizations. The natives also dyed beads that were traded and made into necklaces or incorporated them into dresses. The last thing they contributed to America is the unique names they made up. These names were used in U.S maps. Without these names then we would have named it ordinary and boring.
Now it’s time to put on your thinking caps. Use the lesson and your life to answer the next question.
How has the role of children in society changed from colonial times to the present? (Hint: Do children still do the same things today as they did in colonial times? What is the same? What is different?)
Children now don’t really have to do the same things as the children in the past. Some things that were similar are having school from fall to spring. Another thing that is similar is doing chores. One thing that was different was the variety of chores they did. For example, girls made soap or clothing while boys worked on the farm. Children now depend on their parents to get the goods and needs we need. This means children don’t have to work on farms and rely on them.
