| Abstract: | Two resource units give elementary students an understanding of American Indian arts and crafts. The first unit consists of seven beading activities for early elementary students using beads the teacher and/or students make themselves. The unit gives a short history of American Indian beadwork, describes the materials and designs used by Plains and Woodland tribes, and provides activity learning objectives, directions for teachers, a vocabulary list, an evaluation checklist, and a resource list. Activities include making macaroni beads, straw beads, paper beads, clay beads, baked beads, rosettes, and bracelets formed on shoebox looms using 1 of 13 patterns. The second unit gives characteristics and uses of birch bark by the Ojibwe tribe, learning objectives for the activities, directions for teachers, a vocabulary list, an evaluation checklist, and a resource list. An Ojibwe legend told to children relates how birch bark came to be used. A discussion sheet on the qualities of birch bark and eight activities on using birch bark are provided. Activities include making a birch bark plaque, basket, transparency, folded cutouts, floral designs, owl, canoe, and muhkuk. (LFL) |
