Project Options
Native American Life project: Option 1                                                                Due in December
Create a game or craft using all natural objects.  It can be a modification of an already-existing game or craft but it has to be made with natural materials.  Either make it or draw it, and bring it into class to explain the objects used and how you had to prepare them.  (Remember- no glue!)
 

Native American Life project: Option 2                                                                Due in December
Native Americans have a lot of amazing stories that tie into nature to explain why things are the way they are.  Make up your own story to explain something (i.e.- why muskrats have brown fur, why leaves turn colors in the fall, or why snakes hiss).
