Original Prompta mini final project where students get to participate in the creation of their own tradition born out of a belief; this would be a final project to wrap up a unit about oral traditions and storytelling in native american culture; I want students to practice choice & voice, to be creative, they can either write, speak/podcast type, record a video; project should be short, take about 5 school days with other learning going on at the same time; incorporate the attached resource
This project, titled "Living Traditions: Your Voice, Your Story," focuses on the synthesis of themes within Native American oral traditions, such as environmental connection, circularity, and harmony. The objective is for participants to reflect on their personal belief systems and create an original tradition—be it a story, ritual, or practice—that showcases their values. Participants are guided through brainstorming core beliefs, identifying themes, choosing a medium (such as writing, podcasting, or video), and developing a narrative that respects and incorporates elements of Native storytelling. The project culminates in self-reflection, peer feedback, and the exploration of how traditions can evolve over generations.
