The student will choose a Native American tribe for their written report and they will be making a model of their tribes home at home.  For the model, they can use any materials to create it.  It should be no bigger that 2' by 2'.  Putting the model in a shoebox works great.

The students will have a choice in their written report. They can write a paper, create a slid show, or make a poster.  If they choose a poster, the poster board will have to come from home.

We will research the tribe at school usually on Thursdays. The students will also have a work day on Wednesday, October 24th to write their paper, finish the slid show, or put their poster together.  The written report should be done by the student at school.
