PROCESS
You will be working in groups of five to become experts and create a presentation about Native Americans in one region of the United States. Be sure that you read all of the directions carefully and use the following question to guide your research; "How were Native American tribes different from each other and how did they survive in their surroundings?" Have fun!!
Step 1: Have each team member choose one of the following areas to become an expert on in your region:
Step 2: Use the links to websites below to help you in your research. You may also use Google to locate other websites to use as long as they include the endings .org, .edu, and/or .gov. You may use .com websites as long as they are RELIABLE sources. Organize the information obtained from your research using the graphic organizers for notes.
Step 3: You will be working independently while doing the research portion. Each team member should have his or her own computer.
Step 4: When everyone on your team has completed their research, you will meet as a group to begin organizing and creating your project. You will be creating a Google Slides presentation. Each person will be responsible for five slides of the presentation.
Step 5: Each team member is responsible for completing their expert area on the project (e.g. clothing expert produces the "clothing" part of the project). Remember your individual project (artifact) can be a totem pole, piece of clothing, symbol story, shelter, example of weaving, jewelry, artwork, or anything that relates to your tribe. Be creative!! Be sure to talk with your team members so no two people will be creating the same type of artifact.
Step 6: As a team, you will be presenting the information on Native Americans in your region. After each team member has completed their portion of the project and their artifact, you will be putting together a presentation board which will include each team members artifact and your information. The presentation board should also include pictures that explain/show each area studied. Each "expert" will present on their area AND the artifact they created.
Step 7: We will also be presenting our presentations to the 4th grade class. They will be coming to the lunchroom to see your presentations and artifacts.
