The students will learn about Native Americans as they research facts through the Internet and computer programs. The students will take these facts and turn them into structured paragraphs. The students will then show understanding of the material they have learned through hands-on projects which will be presented to their parents and peers.
Invitation Teaching students to write a well organized research paper can be dull.
The students will also have assignments which must be completed at home. This project may include field trips to museums in your community. The students will research information about Native Americans using the Internet, reference books, and software programs. The students will turn this information into well written paragraphs. To illustrate an understanding of the material that was researched, the students will then create a replica of a Native American home, a craft, a dish from a Native American recipe, a costume, and a demonstration depicting one aspect of Native American life.
