Paleolithic vs Neolithic Age

After students learn about the differences and similarities between the Paleolithic Age and the Neolithic Age, it's helpful for them to organize the information in a way that makes it easy to remember. In this activity, students will create a T-Chart that compares and contrasts the two periods. They should include several categories, such as food sources, homes, tools, and clothing.

Students Can Collaborate!

Teachers may wish for students to work together on this lesson which is possible with Storyboard That's Real Time Collaboration feature! With Real Time Collaboration, students can work on the same storyboard at the same time which is perfect for this lesson! As teachers know, collaborating on assignments allows students to think on a deeper level while increasing their communication and problem-solving skills. Collaboration can also help cut down on the time it takes to complete a storyboard. While there is no set limit to the number of users who can work on a storyboard at once, we recommend five users or fewer for optimal performance. All of our assignments default to individual. To make this lesson collaborative, teachers must enable collaboration for the assignment within the "Edit Assignment" tab.
