1. The desert

	has lots of pine trees
	is hot and dry
	is cold and wet
	has buffalo and deer
	has rabbit and quail

2. Because the Hohokam lived in the desert they learned to

	dig canals to bring water to their crops
	make their houses out of adobe (clay)
	make their houses out of animal skins
	farm potatoes and carrots
	farm beans, corn and squash
	grow and weave cotton
	raise sheep and use their wool for clothing
	hunt quail and rabbit
	hunt buffalo and deer

3. The Hohokam taught themselves how to make tools so they could live in the desert. They made

	digging stick
	picks and shovels
	fishing rods and reels
	fish nets
	gas stoves to cook their food
	metates to grind corn
	looms to make cotton cloth
	sewing machines to make dresses
	baskets and pots to hold and carry things
	wagons to carry their beans and squash

4. Geography, the land, water, climate and natural resources, affects how people live. Their culture, the houses they lived in, the tools they used, what they ate tells us about the Hohokam. Education is also a part of the culture. The Hohokam children learned

	by watching and helping their parents and grandparents farm and cook
	by going to school so they could read and write
	by listening to stories their parents and grandparents told
	by learning about the symbols on the calendar stick
	by going to the library to read about their history

5. The Hohokam were a community because they helped one another to

	build roads
	build canals
	build apartments
	build adobe houses
	build schools
	educate their children
