The Hohokam People Project: Learning Through Windows and Mirrors in a Cross-Cultural Study

Abstract

The Hohokam People Project began when students in the playground began digging waterways for fun, which became a learning opportunity about the Hohokam people. The project combined play with learning, giving students the opportunity to use what they've learned to create irrigation systems and pottery, leading to a better understanding of the Hohokam people of the ancient Sonoran Desert.
