Have students visualize, with their eyes still closed, things they would do in a natural environment to survive. Discuss ideas and record on the organizer. Give each student a Native American information sheet and have selected students read orally. Write the directions on the board. Students who finish early can color their Native American folder or headband.
Students work with a partner to complete the graphic organizer.
Circulate as the student work. Circulate as the students work to check for understanding. Questioning about survival in nature should let the teacher know who understands. Check for students who list things like Pizza Hut and apartments and guide them back to Native American times. Students Venn diagram the way Native Americans met their needs and how they meet their needs.
