INDEPENDENT STUDY ASSIGNMENT

Native American Unit

1. Read pages 19-29 in the text, and write down 5 facts/key ideas that you learned.   
2. Read “The World on the Turtle’s Back” (p.p. 34-40) and complete the Chart #1.  Looking at the chart, answer the following discussions on this blog by leaving a comment.  Please read the comments of other students as part of your practice for the next prompt.  For these discussion questions, your responses must be in proper English (no text speak) and should be no more than 500 words for each response.  Writing concise prose is a skill!
   1. Is it dangerous to label another culture’s beliefs as myths?
   2. What is more likely to stand the test of time—creation stories or scientific theory?  Write a bold thesis and support your claim.
3. Look online for clips of film or TV Westerns.  Note the costumes, dialogue, and camera angles.  After, using the T-chart below, write down all of the associations that you have with cowboys and Indians.  (Chart #2)
4. IV.             Look up three Indian mascots, documenting traditions that they follow and rituals performed.  Also, look up three images of Indian mascots, looking for facial expressions and colors.  Print them and bring them to class with you on your due date.
5. Using http://www.readwritethink.org/files/resources/interactives/venn/

                    compare and contrast yourself to Native Americans.  Print out the diagram.

For most students, their most significant mistake on the first writing test is failing to include strong examples in the body of the essay (which results in a 4).  To practice before the test, please complete the following readings and practice:

1. H.W. Read “Black Men and Public Space” p.p. 208-210, answer QOM 1, 3, QOWS 2-3, QOL 1; Read “We are Free to Be You, Me, Stupid, and Dead p.p. 215-217, answer QOM 2, QOWS 3-4

2.Without using the computer, spend ten minutes brainstorming a list of examples to support this thesis statement: Bad habits are necessary to the nation’s economy

                  Consider a personal example, an example from history, and an example from pop culture or current politics

 Due date: the date of your first ICE.   We will discuss briefly before the test.
