The First Settlers Project was completed by our Advanced 6th grade Social Studies classes. Student were to explore the first tribes that setlled in America. They had to research food, clothing, shelter, where they settled, the tribes interaction with the Europeans, and if they were the most successful tribe. Students were provided a number of websites to find information. They used these sites to collect information, put it into a spreadsheet and used Google Earth to express all of these ideas. Students showed where each tribe settled by using a different color to depict location. Students included hyperlinks for each important aspect of the tribe such as shelter, clothing, and food. Students were all given the topics, but were required to fill in the information and place it in the correct spot. Please enjoy this short video of one such student project.
