Ancient People of the Lake Eileen Tannich Gose

This story is based on archaeological information from an ancient Early Holocene site inside Newberry Crater at Paulina Lake, Oregon. The Paulina Lake site was a temporary summer camp where foragers processed food and plants as well as obsidian for tools. The Paulina Lake site is especially important because archaeologists uncovered remains of a 9,500 year old dwelling, one of the oldest houses in the United States. Later, the remains of the Paulina Lake site were fairly well preserved by two feet of ash from the explosion of Mt. Mazama 7,500 years ago.

A Read and Write Book shows how to create a Five Sentence Story. The five sentences alone make a complete story. The character, setting, problem and solution are all included in those five sentences. Then, by adding a few more sentences under each introductory sentence, the story becomes more interesting, and the Five Sentence Story will become a Five Paragraph Story.
