Native American Dioramas

As a culminating activity for our Native American unit, students were asked to create a shoebox diorama. Students were expected to show the tribe that they chose (Powhatan, Lakota, or Pueblo), along with that tribe's region, habitat, food, climate, occupation, and method of transportation. Students were also expected to write a brief paragraph that summarized all that went into their diorama.

To say that I was impressed would be an understatement. What walked through my door on the diorama due date (or even before) was quite a sight! The time and effort that went into these projects was amazing. It is clear to me that the students invested not only time, but a great deal of thought and effort as well. I commend all of them for the hard work they did!

If you didn't get a chance to swing by the second grade hall and see these dioramas yourself, have no fear! Below you can see an up close and personal shot of each one. ENJOY!
