Native American Tableaus

To review everything we learned about Native Americans, small groups of students created tableaus for each Native American cultural group.  Each group had to answer these questions with their tableaus:

  • What is their environment like?
  • What kinds of homes do they live in?
  • What is their greatest resource?
  • How do they get food?
  • Explain something about their culture. 
As we shared these tableaus with the class, I was so impressed with how our students used their new learning to interpret each scene.  They did an amazing job.

Studycast - Native Americans

Click here to listen to a studycast for our upcoming test on Native Americans.  A studycast is basically a review of all the information we covered during that particular unit of study.  I go through the study guide (which came home on Thursday), and teach through all the major concepts that will appear on the test.  I know that it's sometimes difficult for parents to help their child study for a social studies or science test.  There's a lot of content involved, and it might have been a while since you've thought about these things!  If you have any questions, please leave a comment below or send me an email.  The test will be on Monday, September 20th.
