Dear Parents,
Fourth grade has been learning about the Caribs and the Arawaks for Social Studies. We have been learning about how they lived, how they built their huts, what they used for transportation, what tools they used to hunt with and
so forth.
Our project now is to build a diorama or a model on some aspect of their life. This will be due on January 27, 2016. The word diorama refers to a three-dimensional model. One of the great things about a diorama is the variety of ways to display it. The Display is part of the fun and appeal of a diorama. Here are some ideas for making your diorama or model:
Ideas on the Subject of your diorama:
- A Carib or Arawak hunting or fishing
- A village
- A scene with a Carib or Arawak lady cooking
- A sea scene with Carib canoes or boats
Ideas on the Subject of your model:
- A canoe
- A hut
- Pottery
- A tool used to hunt or farm with (please note that your tool is not to include any sharp materials that can actually be used to hunt – we will use our imagination for this one)
Remember; do not feel limited to this list of idea. Encourage your children to get creative and have fun! I’m excited to see what they come up with.
