Personal Pre-Historic Tale Assignment
World History
Due Date:
In future eras, we will have first hand accounts of human activity that help us understanf the intricacies of day to day life. In the era before writing, pre-history, we don’t have that luxury. So we guess. We piece together stories based on archeological evidence and educated guesses – based sometimes on what we see people and animals do today. Your assignment is to write a 1-2 page personal narrative, from the point of view of an ancient Homo sapiens sapiens. This story should be as historically (or pre-historically, if you will) accurate as possible. In order to begin, it may be helpful to generate a list of a few things:
| FACT | CONCLUSION | STORY IDEA |
| A cave painting in | Ancient cave painters hunted deer with spears. | A small child watches adults hunt. |
- Ideas to consider: What, where, and how people ate, how they dressed, walked, talked, daily activities, what the land may have looked like.
- You must also include your sources for the “facts” that you chose. You may list class notes as one of your sources.
- You could write about one moment, a day, an adventure – it is up to you.
- This is a creative, though fact-based, assignment. Have fun with it and come to class prepared to share your story with others.
