One with Buffalo

This week in class we conducted our Native American tribe project. I got the pleasure of working with Kendra. Our tribe was the Lakota tribe. Through this project I learned so much about my given tribe and all the other tribes. I truly enjoyed this jigsaw project. I feel that the jigsaw assignment was very beneficial and informational. I had to become an expert on my tribe and teach my peers about my tribe. The same for my classmates. I enjoyed all the presentations and some of us even brought in props. I decided to dress up as a Native American for class and bring corn muffins as a little treat. 

Jigsaw enable all of us to learn about a variety of tribes in a small amount of time. I like that we also have a group processing sheet to fill out. Each person in the group was responsible for the overall outcome and success of the project. If each person didn't do their part, then the group processing form allows for comments concerning group and partners to be made.

Overall, I really enjoyed this experience! I will definitely implement similar jigsaw activities in my future classroom!
