Along with your photograph, YOU ARE GOING TO TYPE A 250 WORD JOURNAL ENTRY that tells the story of your day long adventure. It will describe the scene you have captured with your
“magical” camera in 1607. Describe how things looked and were made. You will use your 5
SENSES to help you describe all the things you would see, touch, taste, feel, and hear during your day in this region. The Journal is worth 50 points for a well written description that includes all of the requirements found in this section – Section 2. a) Make sure you include the name of the Native American Cultural Group in your Journal entry. b) The “JOURNAL” entry DESCRIBES what you saw and experienced in the “PHOTO” you took.
It describes the TOOLS, SHELTERS, CLIMATE, CLOTHING, FOOD, ETC.. c) What was your day like? DESCRIBE all of things you would be able to see, hear, taste, touch, and smell while spending the day in this region (no less than 250 words). d) Remember – you are an “eyewitness” to what life was like for the Native Americans over
400 years ago. What did the air smell like? What did a certain task/job/chore feel like?
What did a certain food taste like? Etc.. e) You are to type your JOURNAL ENTRY using:
 One of these FONTS – Century Gothic or Arial or Times New Roman or Comic Sans.
