This Webquest is designed so that students can learn collaboratively in groups about a native american nation while incorporating math, Language Arts, history, geography, current events, and environmental science into a magazine publication.

Introduction

 

How can people of many cultures change but still keep to tradition?

 

    For the next couple months we will be learning about three different Native American cultures; the Inuit, Lakota, and Cherokee. We will be learning about many different aspects of each culture (found under Process), but I want you to think about how the many different aspects of the culture are actually interwoven like a basket. The different strands make up the basket and with even one less strand the basket can't be complete. There are many different parts to this project (which is why you get over two months to complete it) and for each one there are specific things I want to make sure you include, but this is just the minimum. I want each person in the group to bring their special talents to the table and make this project their own. 

    I want to make sure this project isn't all about the particulars of the culture and it's history, but instead about the people themselves and how they've changed over time while also keeping much of their traditions.

Good luck now get working
