Anthropology

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Anthropologists ask the question that everyone wants answered: what does it mean to be human? An online handout provides a brief introduction to the study of anthropology and outlines three common types of anthropology writing assignments. Pupils read the handout or peruse the website, which is a great reference for prospective college students or those interested in taking anthropology courses.
