After spending a day with Homo Erectus we moved
several thousands
of years in time and decided to pay a visit to the Cro
Magnons,
who lived about 40,000 years ago. On our return to the
twentieth
century all the students in my class decided to make
models
or dioramas of the Cro Magnon homes. They were really
creative,
not just in making the caves out of boxes and papier
mache,
but also in the decorations and artifacts they placed
in the
caves. Here are the photos of the homes they
constructed, and
each student has also explained in his or her own
words how
they were made.
