The tribes will be Chickasaw, Choctaw, Natchez, Mosopelea, and Pascagoula one member of each group will pull names as to which group will get which tribe .Each group will present to the class "Native American Museum". The work the group will do will become an "exhibit" in our museum. In order to make this nice as possible, each group will display their work on a Tri-fold board, similar to those use in a science fair. Each member of each group must choose three questions to answer about their tribe. All paragraph work should have at least seven sentences. Paragraphs should be well-developed ideas and facts with proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation. You can also make up your own questions and answer them. This is your report, so be creative!!
