Students will be introduced to Arkansas History by becoming archeologists who discover artifacts in a "dig simulation." They will gain an understanding of how archeology has aided the study of Arkansas' past and be introduced to the different groups who have made our state their home. By placing artifacts on an Arkansas History Timeline, students will develop an overview of the important time periods in Arkansas History. As a final exercise student teams will creatively present a period in Arkansas' History to their class.
Butler Center lesson plans are made possible with funding from the Charles M. & Joan R. Taylor Foundation and from the Winthrop Rockefeller Foundation.
