The REVEAL is IN!!!

For the last three weeks our class has been studying the early American people and how they used the land to make a living. Our students used many different reference materials to locate information on their select tribe. As a class we developed a list of essential questions to guide our research, and then worked in small groups to develop solid reports. After the reports were completed and the information was clear, our students created dioramas to display their information! This was hands on learning at its best.

As you can see by the smiles and the amazing dioramas this project was a huge SUCCESS!

Nahjani and Calvin, the Pawnee tribe

Ayanna and Alexandria, the Apache tribe

Dante and Morgan, the Comanche tribe

Maddie and Lakia, the Cheyenne tribe

Lauren, Crystal, and Brittney, the Ute tribe

Klaudia and Zelma, the Narragansett tribe

Mario and Eduardo, the Pueblo tribe

Angel and Misty, the Huron tribe

Emily and Allison, the Chickasaw tribe

Daniel and Jason (The Gator Boys), the Inuit tribe

Cinnamon and Jasmine, the Seminole tribe Tyree and Dalton, the Ottawa Tribe

Boris and Stewie, the Creek Tribe

Tony and Prince, the Cahuilla Tribe

Our students did an awesome job with this project! The days were sometimes chaotic, but the outcome of the collaboration was amazing. And the reports, well let's just say we are very well versed in the report writing standard.

We learned so much today about the different tribes and how they used the land to live! In almost every presentation groups pointed out that Native Americans had no waste- they used every bit of everything they had.

As we wrapped this unit up today, we are now moving into the Silk Trade Routes and the early explorers.
