<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Historians and mapmakers create <strong>culture maps</strong> — special maps that show where different peoples lived and how they lived. Instead of just roads and cities, a culture map might show pictures of homes, foods, and animals in each region.</p>

<p>A good culture map needs a <strong>key</strong> — a little box that explains what each symbol means. A buffalo symbol might mean plains hunting lands. A fish might mean fishing waters. A corn plant might mean farming country.</p>

<p>Today YOU are the mapmaker. You will draw a map of North America's regions and fill it with symbols showing how the nations of each region lived. Grab your crayons!</p>

<h3>🔍 Hands-On: Build Your Culture Map</h3>
<div class="activity-box">

<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>You need:</strong> a big piece of paper, crayons or markers.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>Step 1:</strong> Draw a big outline shape of North America (a grown-up can help, or trace one).<br><strong>Step 2:</strong> Lightly color four regions: green woodlands in the east, yellow plains in the middle, orange desert in the southwest, blue coast in the northwest.<br><strong>Step 3:</strong> Add symbols: trees and deer in the woodlands, buffalo on the plains, adobe houses and corn in the desert, salmon and canoes on the coast.<br><strong>Step 4:</strong> Make a key that explains every symbol!</p>
