Assignment for American Indian Research

When you have finished this project, each 7th grade class will have a set of web pages answering specific questions about the American Indian culture they studied. You will need to read at least one web page from each class (one from Ms. Anderson's class and one from Ms. Doyle's class). Post a response to the blog, including information about the following:

1. Write three things you discovered about the cultures explained in the web sites.
2. Note at least one similarity or difference from the culture you studied.
3. Ask at least one question that you think should be answered about the cultures you read about.
4. Make one comment about the design and layout of the web page you visited. Be sure your comment is constructive/helpful. Be polite but truthful.

Responding to Native American Unit

During the next weeks of class, we will be investigating the Wampanoags while students in Ms. Anderson's class and Ms.Doyle's class investigate about Pacific Northwest Native Americans and the Cahokians, respectively.

We'll provide questions for consideration and you should respond with questions, comments, or other issues you'd like us to address in class.
