• Each group had a distinct culture, language and history.

Jig Saw Activity• In groups of three you will

research one Native American region and the groups that lived there

• You will create a short presentation related to the geography region and the culture of this region

• You will teach your classmates about this region

• Assessment will be based on your presentation and the knowledge gained by your classmates

Analyzing Native American Artifacts

Turn to Reading Notes 1 in their Interactive Student Notebooks. Review the directions for the activity.

• Each pair goes to a station and examines the artifacts shown on the placard.

• Using the four maps on pages 4 and 5 in History Alive! The United States Through

Industrialism, pairs try to determine the Native American cultural region from which the artifact came. They write the letter of the placard in the appropriate

box on their Reading Notes and have you check their answers.

• Pairs then fill in three features of the environment of that cultural region, using only the artifacts as clues.

• Students read the corresponding section in their books. They correct any misinformation they filled in concerning the environment. Then they write a short journal entry that mentions the three artifacts on the placard and three

features of the environment.

Today my mother woke me up to go pick berries, while my brothers went fishing. I came to our dome house and had some berry soup and nuts. I had to repair my grass skirt because I fell while playing in the woods.
