Native American Web Quest
By Mrs. Hughitt

INTRODUCTION:
Your team has been hired by the director of the new Native American museum. She has asked you to develop a display that will show the similarities and differences between Native Americans that lived in different areas.

THE TASK:
After looking at the project you decided you needed to divide your team into groups, and have them find information on the similarities and differences of the different Native American groups. The teams were divided into the following groups:
Shelter
Clothing
Food (did the hunt and gather, farm etc)

THE PROCESS:
You will be assigned a topic and group to compare. Research the way each area dealt with your topic. Create a Power Point showing how each group dealt with the topic. Be sure to make one slide on the similarities and one on the difference. Then include one slide on why you think that group lived that way. Also include a slide with a map showing the area this group lived in. (Teacher show sample.)
