We made a funny connection between the movie "Cars" and Gallup, New Mexico. We looked at how the story of Route 66 is illustrated in that movie. We also read about Billy the Kid and recognized that some of history is fun and other parts are sad.
We also read a book about Pueblos and decided that would be an interesting way to live. It would take being a power under person. You would have to want to help your community!
