Process
Part I.
Look up the definitions of the word Journal and Diary
Copy these definitions on your NOTE page which you will open and print out before you begin your research.
Look at these journal entries to get an idea on how to write a page in a diary.
Lewis and Clark diary.
Martha Ballard Diary. Native American Diary.
Pioneer Diary
On your note page write down some similarities you find in each of the diaries above. Also write down any differences you find. Put these on the note page, under similarities and differences in diaries. As you are filling in the paper keep in mind you will again fill in a Venn diagram to compare your life to that of a Native American.
Print 2 copies out of this Venn Diagram so you can fill it in as you see the similarites and differences as you read each diary. The 2nd copy will be for comparing your day to that of a Native American child.
Part II
After you have started finding the information off your "How they lived lives" page continee to get information and add it to that page.
Go through the pages of this web site giving info on many of the parts of Native American children to help answer some of the question about how Native American children lived.

Part III
1. Now you will make a web map of your typical day using the Inspiration computer program. Mrs. Flint will teach you how to use this.
2. Now you will use the map you made of your typical day to write a journal or diary entry for an average day in your life. You will create your own journal entry on lined paper supplied by your teacher, keep in mind your both journal entries will be hand written since there were no computer way back then. Your journal entry should be one page long and include accurate information about the following details:
- Your School Day
- Your Clothing
- Food You Eat
- Any Chores You Have To Do
- What You Do For Fun (Play)
- How You Spend an Evening at Home
- Any Other Category Your Class Brainstormed
3. You will also make an Inspiration Web of a day in a Native American child's day. After you have done your research you will write 2 pages of the Native American child's day.
Part VI:
The final step is to create a Power Point with the other members of your group. There will be 4 of you in these groups. You each will have a part to play in the making of the power point. Give each member of your group a part of the Native America child's life, Example would be, one person make a slide of what the child ate, or where did this child live, or what did this child do for fun. Each person in your group will be responsible to make one slide. Then your group will present your Power Point to the class. If you want to add more slides you may.
