Task

Process

1. Select classmates to be members of a four person team. As a team, you are to decide which role each of you will assume in the exploration of your Native American tribe. Each of these roles focuses on different areas of their lifestyle. Read your role and research the information that is your responsibility.


2. Now look at the map and decide which region you would like to explore. Choose a tribe from that region to research. Submit the name of your tribe to your teacher.

3. Now you are ready to learn as much as you can about the tribe. You are to determine how the geographic area in which they live determines their lifestyle. Here are some questions to consider while researching.

What natural resources are available in the area?
What resources are used to create the materials they used in their everyday life?

4. Record your research findings on 4x6 index cards. Cite your sources, using MLA format, on the source cards, and your information on the note cards as shown in the classroom site of this WebQuest .

5. Use the information you have recorded to determine the relationship between the tribe's locality and their life style. Share your information with all team members to understand the big picture of your tribe.

6. Each member of the team must write a five paragraph research composition supporting the theme, 'The geographical location of the ________(Native American tribe) determined their way of life.' This must be word processed and contain a Work Cited page.

7. Determine as a group which artifacts you would like to create to best represent your tribe. These must be a 3D representation or a hand-drawn picture. You will use these in your oral presentation to the class.

8. Additional audio and/or visual materials will add to your oral presentation. These can include, but not limited to, PowerPoint, a brochure, a recording, or a handout.
