Classwork:  Today kids did the ACYI survey in class.  When finished, they worked on applying the 11 Universals of Culture to the Inuit Culture from the Latin America and Canada books. The 11 Universals are:

1. art and recreation
2. clothing
3. food
4. religion
5. government
6. economy
7. language
8. knowledge
9. shelter
10. customs and traditions
11. tools and technology

Homework:  Think about how the environment affects the Inuit's 11 universals of culture?  For example, how does the climate of Alaska and northwest Canada affect the clothing, food, and shelter of the Inuit lifestyle?  How does the environment affect your lifestyle?  Discuss the differences between our modern American lifestyle with the ancient Inuit's in terms of the 11 Universals.
