Small Groups
- Have students research, write, and perform a short play about some aspect of North Dakota agriculture. Puppetry could also be used if desired. Divide the students into small groups and have them choose an area of agriculture that interests them.
- Have students imagine they are an early settler coming to North Dakota to farm. Have each group make a list of all the food, clothing, and other goods they would have had to bring along for use during the trip. It is important they remember to bring only what they can carry. Have them give a reason for each item, and make another list of the things they would get by bartering with the American Indians or obtain from nature. Have students present to the class in the form of a report, chart, or other method of delivery as listed previously.
