This webpage will contain objectives and exemplars of projects required from fifth grade students during the year at Cameron. Each project has an attachment with specific guidelines to help students and parents better understand the project. There is also a copy of the rubric that will be used to grade each project. If at any time you have questions regarding a 5th grade project, please speak with your child's teacher.
On Native American Culture
The purpose of this project is to allow students to learn about a Native American group in a fun, creative way. This activity should help each student to better understand a particular Native American culture.
This project will consist of two separate parts; the culture report will be Part 1 and the shelter model will be Part 2. Both the report and the shelter model must be about the same tribe. No exceptions! Therefore, each student should pick the tribe that interests him or her the most! Click here for the written report guielines and rubric and model

This write-up form and graphic organizer will be provided by the teachers. Be creative and have fun with this project. Click here
