- 1. Native American Lifestyle Webquest Introduction: You awake to a cool crisp autumn morning, the sun rises over the horizon. The sound of birds and small woodland creatures permeate the air. The smell of the earth and the long burnt out fire travel on the wind. Realization sets in that you are no longer at home in your bed, you have been transported to where you don’t know, to when you don’t know. How could this be, how did this happen? As you open the flap of what appears to be a tepee and emerge into the sunlight, you realize, you are in a Native American village in the Plains of North America, and you think to yourself, “ Now this could be interesting” Task: Your task is to fully imagine a day in the life as a Native American. You may write your own story as either an observer or as a Native American yourself. Your story may contain fictitious names and scenarios but you must include detailed information about the homes, the food, the culture, the clothing, and way of life (hunting, gathering, using nature to live). You will also need to produce a visual aid to accompany your story. You may create an illustration or create an object that represents or is relevant to your story. You will be evaluated on the accuracy of the details in your story. I want you to show that you truly understand the material you are given in your story. Process: First, you will decide if you would like to write your story as an observer or as an active participant. Second, you will need to do your research and make an outline or make your notes using the following links http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Plains_Indians http://firstpeoplesofcanada.com/fp_groups/fp_plains1.html Third, put together your notes and write your story.
