Better Lesson: Native American Petroglyphs Close Read Compare and Contrast

Curated by ACT

Young scholars will read an article by Byron Loosle on the meaning of Native American symbols and compare that to a video clip of an actual Native American explaining the symbols. There is a difference of opinion and students will weigh both arguments along with the importance of the source and write their own opinion on the subject.
