Assignments

All participants will learn the basics of GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and develop a basic Story Map (great example that is not basic) of their experience exploring the Fremont culture. This will be an introduction, so please do not be intimidated. You can do it!

After experiencing each lesson from Project Archaeology: Investigating Shelter and Investigating Rock Art as a learner, participants will reflect on how they would implement each lesson in their classroom. On the final day, participants will have time to simulate all of their reflections and decide how best to integrate into their current core subjects.

For those interested in receiving college credit for the workshop, an additional five page reflection paper will be due by July 31.
