TEXAS NATIVE AMERICAN TIMELINE
Planning Sheet 4
PRODUCT:
Create a timeline that shows an overview of Native American presence in Texas, according to archeological discoveries.
DIRECTIONS:
The information for the timeline has been scrambled. Place it back in the right order by cutting each portion of information out separately, and then gluing it into
the appropriate place on the timeline (Planning Sheets 4 & 5). Use Planning Sheet 2, or go to http://www.tsha.utexas.edu/ to find a guideline for putting this in order.
