Short activitivity to show how flexibile our language is and how difficult collective learning would have been for our non sapien ancestors.
 
Step 1: As a class, choose 200 random words. (I had 15 kids choose 14 words each)
 
Step 2: Answer the following questions using only the words listed:
 
1. How should we try to kill that mammoth?
2. Explain why you should marry me.
3. Give directions for a simple task.
4. Come up with a plan to improve our cave.
5. Describe a physical landscape.
6. Come up with your own question!
