Internet Investigator
Go to my website and click on the link Lewis and Clark. Scroll down to section 3 and pick one of the Indian tribes listed on my site. Click on that link to read a student’s report on that tribe. You may read over all three before deciding which one you will share with the group. After choosing an Indian tribe and reading the report, create a graphic organizer, either by hand or on the computer, for your tribe that answers these questions:
What do they eat?
Where do they live?
What do they wear?
Who did what jobs in the tribe?
