Paleolithic and Neolithic Sensory Figures
Objective: Create a sensory figure from each of the Prehistoric eras we have studied this unit. You will create
one from the Paleolithic and another from the Neolithic Stone Age. Get creative, but be sure to keep it
historically accurate. You decide upon your characters’ age. You will have some class time to work on this
project. Whatever you don’t finish at school will be done at home and needs to be turned
in on time. Because this project is a concluding activity, it will be worth 100 points.
DUE DATE: ______September 18_____
