Highlights
What did you learn today?
We did three activities today: Reading the Symbols, Resourceful People and the Curating Game.
How did you show what you learned?
Reading the Symbols: We found out what the symbols represented and why people put them on their tipis. Ask me more!
Curating Game: We pretended we were curators and we looked for the best artifacts. We then picked three artifacts that had a story to tell. We chose a picture and a title for them. Ask me what my group did!
Resourceful People: We had to identify four natural resources from the ranching area and the oil and gas area. We had to fill out a sheet of the benefits and challenges of the industries created by the natural resources. We also looked at artifacts and tried to figure out what they were and which industry they were from.
What do you need to learn next?
We need to use our new found knowledge to help us write our tipi stories.
