Native American Presentations

Our class has been working for the past month on creating presentation slides to teach others about some early Native American tribes. Our focus was on understanding how geography and location affect each tribe. We also learned about some of the customs and folklore associated with the tribes and the structure of their system of government and economy. You can see what the students learned by viewing the slide shows below. To meet our technology integration goals, we used Google documents to take notes on our assigned area/region. Next, we collaborated within our specific Native American groups to design slide shows using Google Presentation. Finally, each group searched Google Images to locate a variety of pictures to help our readers visualize the content. We created hyperlinks within our presentations to the images so that we could practice that skill, as well as share them with our viewers. The students presented the presentations in class, listened to constructive feedback from their peers, and then made their final edits.

We are pleased to share our final presentations with you. We hope you enjoy the slide shows and please leave us some feedback by commenting below!

Sincerely,
5th Grade Orange
