Native Americans

This lesson was both fun and interesting. We had split the class up into groups and were all assigned different Native American tribes. It was fun to learn about the different tribes. What they wore, what they made, and how they lived and survived. Interesting facts that I learned was that mostly everything the tribes hunted they used the fur for clothes, blankets, their houses and instruments. The tribes would use the bones in the animals for instruments. They played these instruments around the fire at night while telling tales to their fellow friends and families. All the tribes would use the environment around them to survive and their entertainment. It was interesting to learn how all the tribes lived and survived. A major thing to survive was hunting animals in the wilderness for food, shelter, and warmth.
I enjoyed how we got into groups and picked our own tribes to research. Then we got into groups with everyone who had the same tribe and compared and informed other classmates on what information we found. When this process was over we had made power points and got back into our original groups and taught our classmates on tribes that we studied. This would be a fun and enjoyable lesson/assignment for elementary students to do. I think students would have a fun time researching different tribes and teaching their fellow classmates on the information they came up with. Everyone will be learning and educated on information that they've might not have know before.
