India: Mohenjo-Daro Dig Activity
This is a great activity to introduce students to Ancient India the civilization of Mohenjo-Daro!

My students loved doing this because they wanted to find out what each artifact was. I usually like to leave them hanging at the end of class, and won't give them the answers until the next day.
Also included are many pictures of Mo

They basically get a puzzle, then must answer 3 STAAR questions before you give them a hint

Now that tests are more rigorous and require a higher level thought process, students need to take time thinking through questions and reading more carefully. Students are often impulsive and do not read carefully. They miss either what the question is asking or they miss tiny, yet important details. Also, they are easily thrown off by the distracter answer.
