1. Justify how this project/activity/assignment meets the standard, using evidence from the standard itself to demonstrate your mastery and/or understanding.
This activity connects to the standard because the standard focuses on how the Native Americans lived before the Europeans came.
In the activity that we did we had to describe how the Natives life style was altered by the area they lived in. The environment that they lived in through out the years affect their way of living. The different Native American tribes all had unique ways of identifying themselves. For example the west coast tribes were identified as being fishermen and as for the east coast side the tribes were considered hunters.

2. Elaborate on at least 1 skill and/or strength you feel you gained from completing this
One skill I learned was how to identify where each tribe is located on the use map. For example now i know that the Great Planes areas of the U.S. was inhabited by nomadic tribes. This is a skill that is important because when I want to meet the Natives on this land i can have a better understanding on how their culture will be like.

3. Upon reflecting on your work/score, what is ONE area of work you could have done better on? How will improving in this area benefit future work/projects?
One area from this activity that i could have done better on was describing more in detail how the land effected the Native American immensely. Because it was a very important fact to focus on because most of their life style revolved around this simple fact. By improving this it well benefit my future work because next time I will not over look something so important and remember to go into detail.

4. How will you presently apply the content and skills you learned from this assignment
in the real world (outside of the classroom, particularly in today’s society)? Make connections between the content and your life.
I will apply the knowledge I learned about the Native American in my life when I go and explore different cultures around the world especially the Natives life style and culture. It will affect my life because I am very interested in learning about the life they had before the Europeans came because to me the Natives were a very interesting group of people who followed different rules and different beliefs that we don't have in the western culture.
