History: First Nation Symbol
Learners will plan and create a meaningful symbol to represent the Wisconsin-native First Nation group that they researched. They will showcase this symbol as part of their presentation and gallery walk.
Knowledge
Students have
Had experience using 3Doodler pens to create 3D objects
Had experience researching a topic for a project
Had experience giving a presentation to a group

Objectives
Students will
Learn about a First Nation group native to Wisconsin
Act as a researcher for the Wisconsin State Historical Society and write about their findings
Create a 3D symbol of their First Nation
Present their project and findings to the class
Display their 3D project in a gallery walk

Materials
Students will need
3Doodler Start Filaments (8 Strand limit per student)
Tables with space for creating.
Colors mixed and put into containers (I use filament tubes from orders) so students do not have to move each time they need a color.
An alternative is setting up a filament buffet where students walk through and pick the colors they need.

Lesson Plan
Instructions
Step 1
Share the goal: Students will select a First Nation group native to Wisconsin to research, create a project, and prepare for a presentation to the class on what they've learned.
Give students the planning sheet. Have them research their First Nation group and brainstorm ideas.
Step 2
Give students time to research the First Nation group they selected. Have students find a partner or two and gather critical input about their plan.
Step 3
Explain the concepts of creating in 3D with the 3Doodler pen as a refresher. Speak to the amount of filament they will need to create their design for this project (8 strand limit per student).
Step 4
Once they are ready, have them get their supplies and begin on their project.
Step 5
Circle the classroom to assist as students work.
Step 6
Once all projects are completed, prepare to have students present on their project.

Symbol - a thing that represents or stands for something else, especially a material object representing something abstract.
Educational Standards
Students use critical thinking skills to plan and conduct research, manage projects, solve problems, and make informed decisions using appropriate digital tools and resources: Collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions
Students research their selected First Nation online, plan their 3D project, then use the 3Doodler pens to create their 3D symbol. Students can refine their work as needed.
Students communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively by creating or using a variety of technology to create visualizations, models or simulations.
Students create a 3D representation of the First Nation they selected for their project.
Students contribute constructively to project teams, assuming various roles and responsibilities to work effectively toward a common goal.
Students will give and receive constructive feedback on their plan before they build their projects.
Plan and create a design document to illustrate thoughts, ideas, and stories in a sequential (step-by-step) manner (e.g., story map, storyboard, sequential graphic organizer).
Students will brainstorm ideas and sketch a design that represents their First Nation.
Decompose (break down) a larger problem into smaller sub-problems with teacher guidance or independently.
Students will break down the process into brainstorming, designing, building, testing, and presenting to a group.
