Goal of Project: To learn about a Native American Tribe.
Project: Create a
display/exhibit that shows what life was like for your chosen Native American
tribe. The Native American tribe must be
from one of the four regions across the United
States (Eastern Woodland,
Plains, Northwest Coastal, or Southwest). Students can choose from the
following displays:
- A shoebox diorama (covered to hide ―NIKE, etc.; explanations could be
on signs or neatly displayed on the
outside of the box.)
- A 3-D model on a flat surface (with signs for explanations, map, etc.)
- A book or brochure (student’s own words)
- A poster board (student’s own words)
Requirements: For
whichever method you choose, your project should include the following:
- Home- should include the type of home they lived in and what part of the country they are from
- Food- should include what kinds of food they ate, how they prepared it, and how they got their food
- Traditions- should include rituals, customs, or beliefs the tribe had.
- Artifact- can be handmade and relate to the tribe.(No weapons please)
Poster and Brochure:
Must include the following:
- At least 5 pictures (these can be printed from the computer or drawn yourself)
- Reference: This can be written on the back of your poster.
3-D Display and Shoebox:
1. Your three-dimensional display
can be done on a flat piece of cardboard or in a small box. You can use a
variety of different objects such as pipe cleaners, toothpicks, cotton balls,
etc to display the different requirements.
2. Reference: This can be written
on a small piece of paper or index card and attached to the bottom or back side
of your display.
*All displays must include
a reference section
