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!

    Chris Scaturo this is hilarious. I almost spit out what I was eating when I read how to swim. I think this would make such an excellent opener to Collective Learning and Early Humans. I'm wondering about effective reflection questions....maybe, what types of words were most helpful? What was frustrating about this process?...
