on the open plains. What might be the similarities and

housing and possible lifestyles of the people who live
there. Be sure to take into account architectural style, kitchen and dining room furnishings, family

Venn diagram or another type of graphic to organize your ideas. As you present your ideas to the
class, include illustrations and also ideas on what these types of dwellings might tell you about the
people who live there.
