As we learn about Native Americans, pretend you are a Native American many years ago during the time Europeans were just arriving. The years would vary because Europeans came to different regions at different times.
What would a day in your life be like? What would you see, taste, touch, hear, or smell?
Write from a Native American's perspective from the region and tribe you are researching.
Then, write about this new, strange looking race of people who have come. What do you think of them? What do they seem to want from you or your land?
300-500 words. If you want to write more, make sure you stay on topic.
If you are having a problem writing enough, read your notes you have taken so far. This should give you much to write about for the first part. For the second part (Europeans come), brainstorm some ideas based on how white Europeans could change things now for your tribe? What are some stories you hear about these newcomers? Are they respectful of your brothers and sisters? What about the land around you?
