Activity 1: Activating Prior Knowledge

Discussion: Ask students: How did the first Americans get to America?

Working in small groups or pairs, have students brainstorm answers to the question. Students can use a globe, a map, or access one of these 3D globes on the internet: Earth 3D Map or Web GL Earth. Have students share possible answers then compare and combine lists to make a full list for the class. 

Activity 2: Edpuzzle Video

 Note: The teacher will not be able to record answers unless he/she has a free EdPuzzle.com account.  With a free account, the teacher can assign the video and record student answers.
