Studenten kunnen meer leren over hoe verschillende Indiaanse culturen en tradities zich gedurende duizenden jaren ontwikkelden door de geografie te bestuderen waarin ze leefden. In deze activiteit kiezen studenten een Native American Cultural Region om te studeren en een storyboard-spinkaart te maken die de locatie, het klimaat, fysieke kenmerken, vegetatie en dieren in het wild beschrijft.

Doelstelling: Maak een spinnenkaart die woorden en afbeeldingen gebruikt om de locatie, het klimaat, de fysieke kenmerken, de vegetatie en de natuur van de regio te beschrijven.
Instructies voor studenten
Vereisten: elke cel bevat een titel, afbeelding en korte beschrijving. Minimaal één cel elk voor: locatie, klimaat, fysieke kenmerken, vegetatie en dieren in het wild in de regio.
Guide students to break down research into manageable steps. Start by helping them brainstorm questions about their chosen Native American region, gather resources, take organized notes, and summarize their findings before creating their spider maps. This approach builds student confidence and ensures thorough, accurate work.
Show students where and how to access accurate, age-appropriate resources. Demonstrate searching in library databases, reputable websites, and books, highlighting how to check for trustworthy authors and up-to-date information. This empowers students to conduct independent, credible research.
Help students use graphic organizers, like spider maps, to sort their information. Encourage them to group related facts under headings such as climate, vegetation, and wildlife, using both words and images for clarity. Visual organization supports memory and understanding.
Prompt students to include vivid, specific details in their descriptions. Challenge them to go beyond basic facts by using adjectives and comparisons that paint a clear picture of each region’s features. This makes their spider maps more engaging and informative.
Facilitate a showcase where students share their work with peers. Encourage positive feedback and reflect on what was learned about Native American regions and research skills. Sharing builds pride and reinforces key concepts.
A spider map is a graphic organizer that helps students visually organize information about a Native American cultural region, such as its location, climate, physical features, vegetation, and wildlife, using words and pictures.
To create a spider map, choose a Native American cultural region, then make sections for location, climate, physical features, vegetation, and wildlife. Add a title, picture, and short description for each section to complete your map.
The main Native American cultural regions include the Arctic, Subarctic, Northwest Coast, California, Plateau, Great Basin, Southwest, Plains, Northeast Woodlands, and Southeast. Each region has distinct geography and traditions.
Geography shaped Native American cultures by influencing where people lived, how they found food, what homes they built, and the traditions they developed based on their environment and resources.
Each cell should have a title, a picture (drawn or found), and a short description about one aspect: location, climate, physical features, vegetation, or wildlife of the chosen region.
