The Big Story!

At this point, you have researched one Pre-Columbian Native American tribe and have created a poster to represent the geographical, economical, political and social aspects of that tribe.

Now you are ready to write a story about any tribe you like.

Here's how it works:

You are a time traveler.  Travel back in time to come in contact with one Pre-Columbian Native American tribe.  Remember, you are not writing a report, it's a story!  You get to decide what the encounter will be like- good or bad.  Include all of the information that you know about that tribe.  Use the posters around the room for ideas.


Scoring Guide:  Your story should
1) include a Pre-Columbian Native American tribe and a time traveler.
2) include conflict and resolution - remember, it is a story.
3) have specific facts and details about the tribe you chose to write about.
4) be easy to understand- it makes sense.
5) be finished and turned in on time- the beginning of the period Tuesday.

Good luck!  I can't wait to read your stories.
