Native American Regions
5.1 Students describe the major pre-Columbian settlements, including the cliff dwellers and pueblo people of the desert Southwest, the American Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the nomadic nations of the Great Plains, and the woodland peoples east of the Mississippi River.
1. Describe how geography and climate influenced the way various nations lived and adjusted to the natural environment, including locations of villages, the distinct structures that they built, and how they obtained food, clothing, tools, and utensils.
2. Describe their varied customs and folklore traditions.
3. Explain their varied economies and systems of government.
1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
This assignment relates to the standards 5.1.1, 5.1.2, and 5.1.3 because the assignment was to create a poster that explains the life of American Indians before the Columbian settlements. Our group wrote about the climate and geography of where the native Americans of the Southwest lived and how it effected their lives. We wrote about their clothing, culture, and how they build their homes. For example
on at least 1 skill and/or strength you feel you gained from completing this project. (coloring and or drawing are not skills to write about - elaborate on life skills you can take out of this project)
One skill that that Igained from completing this assignment is going up and presenting as a group. Most of the time in class I am used to presenting by myself but this time all of our group members need to go up an say something.
3. Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is ONE area of work you could have done better on? How will improving in this area benefit future work/projects? (coloring and or drawing are not skills to write about - research skills, time management, etc…)
Upon reflecting on my work and score one area I could have improved on is presentation. before we went up to present our group could have prepared more. Improving in this area would help me in other classes when I have DP predestination.
4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment in the real world (outside of the classroom, particularly in today’s society). Make connections between the content and your life.
I can apply the skills that I learned from this assignment in the real world in two ways. The first way is in my volunteering organization. In the volunteering organization that I go to we create several posters and art work. The next skill is presentation skills. I can use this skill in other classes and again in my volunteering organization.
