Native American Tribes - Muscogees

Above is the link to my group's Native American Tribe powerpoint. 

We were assigned to explore the Muscogee tribe. 

We found out about their history, hard times they faced, how they built a new life from those hard times, their government, geography, habitat, famous leaders, culture, food, and clothing. 

It was fun to present our findings to the class an compare our tribe with other tribes that our classmates had to present. I think that I would use this exact assignment in my future classrooms. It promotes cooperative learning and it also gives students a chance to get creative with how they present their findings to the class. It is also interesting to see how these native american indians made use from what was available to them on the land and how it impacted the life that we know today. An assignment like this could also be used as formative assessment to see where the students are at as far as research skills or general knowledge of the tribes. It could also be used as summative assessment. It could be a final project in a unit that contains native americans.

 This picture shows the different types of houses that the Muscogee tribe lived in when they lived in different parts of the nation.

This is the typical cloak that a man would wear as part of the Muscogee tribe.
