Using a small box, create a diorama showing your assigned tribe’s house – include the type of environment your tribe would have lived (i.e. near water, woods). Try to use natural materials. Use your incredible imaginations and fabulous creativity. On a separate piece of paper, please include the following information. Remember to use complete sentences and do this in your best cursive writing.
