Colonial Craftsmen Diorama
March 26, 2001

Size:   Shoebox or no large thana desktop (23" X 17")

Procedure:

1.  Shoebox should be covered with paper or painted so that no advertisements are visible.  Small paper or wooden logs and thatched roofs add a nice touch.

2.  Research and find picture of the tools used by your craftsman.   Using paper, clay, aluminum foil, wood, etc., create tools and display them on the diorama's walls or tables.

3.  Create sample products made by your craftsman.

4.  Show a worker in your workshop.  Pipecleaners work well for making people.

5.  Diorama due date is March 26, 2001.

Dear Parents/Guardians,

For Social Studies enrichment, I am planning a "Colonial Crafts Day" on March 30.  Each student will display his/her diorama and dress like their colonial craftsman or craftswoman.  We will be inviting other classes to visit our cillage.

Assignment will be evaluated to make sure that:
