In groups students read and analyzed text and historical artifacts from different American Indian groups and where they lived, and how the tribes used the resources available to survive. We then compared and contrasted life in the various regions.
We then did a great project where we tried building different kinds of Native American homes using a variety of objects from nature, as well as paper, string, toothpicks, marshmallows, boxes, etc. We made a mess but we had a blast! Some groups were more successful than others, but I believe everyone had fun and learned a lot about working in a group and persevering through something difficult. Here are some great shots of their hard work!
