Native American Women Potters

This resource is designed to celebrate International Women’s Day. There are two parts to the resource (both editable).

A worksheet which can be used at home or in the classroom. To complete all tasks would take about 5 hours. Extension activities are included. The Key Learning Challenges are specified for each task.

The worksheet encourages students to understand the design in pots created by Native American Women, inspired by the symbolism of their culture. The project could be extended with the creating of a pot and the transference of designs.

The second part of this resource is a Power Point. This enables the teaching in the classroom environment. Images/tasks from the worksheet could then be used in a more simplified fashion by removing unnecessary text.

I have included some word documents for photocopying for in class use. These could be included for differentiated lessons.

Please watch the video which shows the pages of the PowerPoint and the worksheet in full. Since uploading the video I have added another page to the powerpoint which gives additional scaffolding/support for the final design stage.

This resource could save hours of planning time and is editable to suit school policies and expectations.

Feedback is always appreciated.
