2nd Grade American Indians Comic
Second grade students have been showing me how much they know about the different American Indian groups by making comics in Comic Life. I gave them a template and a folder of pictures to use which you can download by clicking here. The pictures include the homes, transportation, and occupations of the three Indian groups: the Powhatan, the Sioux, and the Pueblo. After students add the pictures to the comic they use speech bubble to provide facts about each picture. You can take a look at four student samples by clicking here. Notice the variety… that’s one of the neat things about project-based learning. Each child’s work is different but the important ideas are still conveyed. If you’d like to see another idea for your American Indians unit, take a look at this Keynote we made back in November.
