Activities:
An interview will be set up for
the class as a whole with a specialist on Native Americans. This will be
conducted through means of face-to-face video chat. During class time, the
teacher will set up an interview via Skype that will be projected to where
the whole class can see the specialist. The students will have the
opportunity to have a Q and A session with him.
After this the students will be
separated into groups to decide what Native American group they will be
assigned to. For a class of 24 students, the class will be separated into 4
groups of 6. All these students will work on the same tribe for the remainder
of the project and will work together for a later part. The students will get
together to choose a tribe to study. This tribe should be different from the
tribes that were the 6 mandatory tribes from the last project. Also, the
groups will have to choose different tribes than other groups. This is
decided by a first come first some basis. The groups that inform the teacher
first of their tribe will get to do their project on that tribe.
From there, the students will
conduct their own interviews with someone who can speak on behalf of their
chosen tribe. An example of how to do this would to be to go to the tribe’s
website and contact whomever is in charge of education as listed by the
website. This person should be able to aid the student in finding an
interview. This interview can be
conducted face-to-face, over something such as Skype, or even over
email and needs to be a minimum of 5 questions. The students will create
their own questions for the interview. The students will have to have their
questions approved before the interview. Once the student has conducted the
interview, their questions and a summary of the answers will be put online on
the student’s blog. Also in this blog the students will have an “In the day
of a life of ….” post. This might require some extra research. This part of
the project will be done on an individual basis.
From there the students will
work collaboratively for the rest of the project. The students will get
together to work on a presentation. This will be presented to the class and
to other classes through participation in a school culture week that the class
could help organize in another project.
The students will create a single presentation as a group based of
their individual research. Also the students will have to artistically (using
visual arts) create things important to that culture. An example of that
would be a shoe that is original to that tribe could be created for this part
of the project. Each group will have to create 3 different cultural pieces.
At the end of the project the
students will be required to create their own rubrics. With these rubrics the
students will grade themselves individually, the members of the group, and
the group as a whole cohesive team. This is for self-evaluation purposes. If
the student finds it necessary, he may make 2 separate rubrics for self
evaluation or group. The final grade will be decided by the teacher rubric.
