Agenda: Project work time!

Steps to completing your project: Step 1: Collect research materials Each group member should bring in at least one book, magazine, or internet article about the tribe to share with the group. Step 2: Research/Note taking With your group, research information about your tribe for each of the categories listed above. As you research, take notes to organize your thoughts. Your notes will be collected and graded along with your final presentation. Step 3: Creating your poster After you have researched your tribe and turned in your notes, begin creating a poster to represent the information you gathered. Your poster should be organized into clear categories. Create a boarder to separate each category and include a picture or symbol beside each one. For each category, list 3-5 facts to explain that aspect of the tribe’s culture. Step 4: Presentation Once you have finished researching and creating your poster, you will prepare a presentation to teach the class about your tribe. Practice your presentation ahead of time and make sure each group member contributes!

Group work: Work with your group. Talking to another group can distract them from their tasks and hinder their learning as well as your own. Direct your attention toward the other members of your group at all times. Stay on task. As interesting as the football game or tv show on last night is, you are in class and should remained focused on your group assignments.

Native American Culture Project For this project, you will work in a group to research and create a poster about a Native American tribe. After you have completed your poster, you will prepare to present your information to the class. Each group member is responsible for contributing to the research, creation of the poster, and presentation. You will have two full class periods to work with your group. Presentations will begin on Oct 31st (B Days) and Nov 1st (A Days).

Your poster and presentation should include information about each of the following categories: Location: Where is this tribe located? Environment: What is the climate and environment like in this region? What natural resources are in the environment? Food: What kinds of food does this tribe eat? How do they gather food for the members of their tribe? Shelter: What kind of shelter does this tribe live in? What materials do they use to build their shelter? Transportation: How do members of the tribe travel from place to place? Customs/Traditions: What are the important customs and traditions of this tribe? Are there dances, ceremonies, or pieces of art work that are unique to this tribe?
