· Each member of the group will take notes about the tribes they are learning about.
· The team members will share their research.
· Each team member will choose a particular topic to illustrate and write about. Every member should have a different topic.
Member a: homes
Member b: clothing
Member c: tools
Member d: arts and crafts (rugs, jewelry, pottery, etc.)
