7th Social Studies: Native American Project

7^th grade Social Studies

Native American Project

(50 Points)

By the 1400’s, Native American tribes were spread throughout all of modern-day North America. In each region of the continent, the people adapted to their environments and flourished in unique ways. Your assignment will be to research a specific Native American tribe from one of the regions that we discussed in class. You will then create a digital presentation (i.e. PowerPoint, prezzy, keynote) describing the information that you discovered about your tribe. All projects will be presented to the class. This presentation will be graded and factored into your final point total. Due: October 1, 2015

All projects should include the following information about your tribe:

• Title- Tribe name, your name, and 7^th grade Social Studies.
• Region of North America where they lived. (i.e. Northeast, Southwest).
• Description of their environment. (Climate, landscape, weather, etc.)
• Main source of food. (Hunters/gatherers, farmers)
• Housing.
• Religion, tribal structure, culture/customs, and traditions.
• Unique characteristics.

Your presentation should be at least seven slides long, although, you may need more. This includes your title slide. You should include pictures/videos in your presentation. You must also create a works cited page. Cite any of the websites, books, etc. that you use in your research.
