In this project we got to make our very own totem poles. We learned about the history of Native American totem poles the meaning they hold, and what the colors represent. We got to pick what animal best represents us. We sketched out what we wanted our animal to look like and then got to pick out the colors that we wanted to represent us. Then we started to cut out our designs and glued them to our construction paper to our liking.
For an extension activity would be to learn more about the history of Native Americans. What was happening before we got here and then what happened when we got here. I think that as educators we don't tell our classes the full truth of what we did when we got here and I think that needs to change based on the correct age of the students.
