Looking BackCongratulations!
Directions for Diorama: 1. Students will work in groups based on the tribe they researched.
2. Each group will compare the notes they took using the Cluster Webs. Everyone can go back and find more information using this WebQuest or other reference materials.
3. Using the information each group member has found, you will work together to create a diorama of the tribe’s village. Each member should focus on two clusters of the web. Materials can be collected at school, at home, outside, etc.
4. Finally, your group will present your diorama and information about the tribe to the class.
5. A rubric will be provided to help guide each group through the assignment.
6. This activity will be done during Art and after other assignments are completed. Some parts will be worked on at home.
7. I will explain more about this project in class.
Directions for Writing Assignment:8. Write a short historical fiction story about the tribe you researched. For example, you may
imagine you first saw a massive ship with enormous wings sailing towards the shore. You alert some of the members of your tribe…….What happens?
