1. Rewrite the standard in your own words. How does this assignment relate to the standard?
The standards relate to the assignment because we had to describe and showcase the lifestyle of a Native American tribe. We talked about in what part of America they lived in for example, which is standard 5.1.1. Standard 5.1.2 asks for us to talk about their customs and traditions, and in the assignment we had to talk about that. To describe the life of a Native American tribe, we had to use all these standards.
2. What are the steps you took to complete and do well on this assignment?
To complete this assignment, my group and I were given facts about the Native Americans of the Northwest Coast. We use our notes we already had. We then were given a poster and we wrote down the facts into categories of the Natives. We then drew pictures and put them onto the poster. Then, we presented the poster in front of our classmates.
3. This assignment demonstrates the following strengths…
This assignment demonstrates my ability to participate in group activity to create a poster on the facts of the Native Americans of Northwest Coast. This also shows my understanding of this group of Native Americans.
4. I could have improved my work on this assignment by…
I think this poster that my group and I worked on could have been more detailed and had more color and pictures. Ours was plain and the facts were not very detailed.
5. How will you apply the skills you learned from this assignment in either the real world when you are an adult or in other classes while you are still a student?
If I decide to learn and go deeper into the Natives of America, I could use these facts to use as a base and go in further into understanding and knowledge of the Native Americans. If I ever decide to become a historian, this knowledge of Native Americans can come in handy.
