2) Use your own words unless you are directly quoting from the article. Would you use the word “indigenous” without copying it from the web site? You might simply leave this word out writing instead, ” Native Americans were living in North American when Europeans started to explore the New World.” Obviously, Indians still live in North America just in smaller numbers.

3) Capitalize the proper nouns Native Americans, North America, Europeans, Asia, Ice Age, Northeast, Southwest, Artic. A proper noun is a very specific name of something, for instance, Hawaii, Asia, Paris, and New York Mets instead of common nouns like state, continent, city, and team.

4) Further develop your paragraphs. You might combine your first and second paragraphs for a more fully developed introductory paragrah. Each paragraph should have a topic sentence followed by three more sentences that explain the topic sentence in more detail. Is the word “natices” natives? Use spell-check.

5) Capitalize the first word of every sentence. What does the word “this” refer to in the last sentence of the fourth paragraph? I would suggest that you replace this vague pronoun with the words “living in places where it was hard to survive helped them become (continue your sentence) . . . .”

6) Not all Indians lived in teepee-shaped houses. Write instead that the Plains Indians lived in small teepee-shaped houses. . . The tribes that lived in long houses lived in the Eastern United States. You can also give more specific information here. Write that some of the Eastern tribes lived in longhouses . . . “
