 Teacher Tips for This Project
The following are possible suggestions
to ensure that the research module runs smoothly.
- This
research module will take approximately 2-3 weeks. Plan on
spending at least two weeks in the computer lab gathering, sifting,
sorting information and creating the PowerPoint presentation.
- Students
should complete this project in groups of 2-3.
- It
is highly recommended to have a cart of books and/or encyclopedias,
which support the research.
- Assist
students in the planning step as they brainstorm categories of
information to research.
Required categories are Geography, Food, Shelter, and Religious
Customs. Others might
include Politics (relation to other tribes or groups), Leadership
& government, Climate, Clothing, Roles within the Community, Arts
& Crafts
- The
web used in the Planning step may be modified or replaced by another
graphic organizer of your choice.
- You
may wish to use the Teacher
Checklist page to keep track of groups as they complete steps in
the project. You may save
a copy with your personal files.
- Be sure to instruct students on how to keep track of the resources used to find information. Many helpful documents and websites are found on the Citing Your Sources page.
