Step 1: Review the assignment requirements carefully. a) Your presentation must include information about three of the eight tribes recognized by
the state of North Carolina (Cherokee, Coharie, Haliwa-Saponi, Lumbee, Sappony,
Meherrin, Occaneechi Band of the Saponi Nation, and Waccamaw Siouan).
b) Explain the origins of each tribe with regard to their ancestry and geographic location.
c) Discuss at least five cultural characteristics of each tribe at the time of colonization (e. g.,
language, housing, religious practices, clothing, and lifestyle).
d) Discuss the economic practices of the tribe at the time of colonization (e. g., crops grown,
animals hunted, and products produced).
e) Discuss the tribe’s modern-day population in the state.
f) Compare and contrast the origins and cultural characteristics of the three tribes.
Step 2: Consider the required elements of the multimedia presentation.
a) Create your presentation on the computer using presentation or video-editing software.
b) Create a presentation that is clearly organized.
c) Use text appropriately and effectively.
d) Ensure that your presentation is neat, easy to follow, and visually appealing.
e) Include digital media, such as images, video, or audio.
Step 3: Think about these steps for creating a successful presentation.
a) Plan: Sketch or outline your presentation before you begin. Establish the order in which
you will present your information and the media you are going to include.
b) Draft: Create a rough draft of your presentation.
c) Revise: Review your work, correct mistakes, and make improvements.
Step 4: Evaluate your presentation using this checklist. When you can answer “yes” to all of
the questions, you are ready to submit your presentation
