Native American Tribe: Dine`
For the Native American Tribe project, our class used a jigsaw method to complete this project. We first met in our field work groups and then we each picked a Native American Tribe we wanted to study. I picked the Dine` tribe. We then got into new groups and I found the Dine` group and got right to work. We each divided up the slides equally. I focused on the food, clothing, and habitats. It was very interesting studying this tribe because I honestly had never heard of it and I learned a lot about them. It’s interesting that clothes we wear today are navajo inspired and I’m pretty sure I own something or have definitely shopped somewhere where these patterns are designed. Its incredible how we can connect these tribes to our society today. After we were done creating a powerpoint, we presented. We each presented the slides we worked on. Then our class was able to give us feedback and see how we can improve. Our group worked very well together and I enjoyed working with them. They were all very helpful and hard working.
This project was really helpful because prior to it, I had only heard about one of the tribes and did not know much about it. I learned about five different tribes through this project and learned ways to teach my future students about them. I got great ideas how to start off lessons and pre-ass, and use different tools to have a fun, interactive review. Most groups used kahoot for a review and one group used quiziz. These tools are excellent for a review because they are so fun and engaging, and students love it as they are actually learning. You have the opportunity to be in competition with your classmates too which is also really cool. There is always a winner as well which is encouraging for who ever was paying attention and focused during the presentations!

Wow! What an interesting blog post. I loved how you incorporated modern clothes from stores that I shop at in this post and told us how it was influenced by the Dine tribe. As we know it is important to incorporate the student's interests in lessons. Very engaging! I can't wait to read more posts on your blog!
