 * Unit Focus: Social Studies standard in 4th grade at Antioch Elementary: **
 * [|SS4H1 The students will describe how early Native American cultures developed in North America]. **

 * b. Describe how the American Indians used their environment to obtain food, clothing, and shelter. **
 * Topics & Key Concepts: Native Americans in the Arctic (Inuit), Northwest (Kwakiutl), Plateau (Nez Perce), Southwest (Hopi), Plains (Pawnee), and Southeastern (Seminole); How these Native Americans used their environment to obtain food, clothing, and shelter. **
 * Summary of Unit: Students will use print materials and the internet to research the six groups of Native Americans listed above. A background collage will be created that represents each group of Native Americans. Students will then write a paragraph that summarizes their tribe. Dressed as their chosen Native American tribe, students will pretend to be characters in a Wax Museum. When visitors come to each tribe, the students will “come to life” and recite their individual paragraphs. **
