After completing both reading assignments, you are to report how the American Indians experienced the cycle of adversity, survival, adaptation, and prosperity. You are to format the assignment as shown below.
What you do:
Select different examples from the article to make your points based off of this weeks National Geographic reading assignment. The article can be found in this week’s module.
When you are working with this assignment, make sure you list the page number, and section number from where each example is selected. Explain how American Indians experienced Adversity, Survival Adaptation and Occasional Prosperity on a Micro, Meso and Macro level.
Assignment FORMAT:
MICRO **Only select two out of the four to address.
I. Adversity (.50 pts.)
II. Survival (.50 pts.)
III. Adaptation (.50 pts.)
IV. Occasional Prosperity (.50 pts.)
MESO ****Address all 4
I. Adversity (.50 pts.)
II. Survival (.50 pts.)
III. Adaptation (.50 pts.)
IV. Occasional Prosperity (.50 pts)
MACRO ****Address all 4
I. Adversity (.50 pts.)
II. Survival (.50 pts.)
III. Adaptation (.50 pts.)
IV. Occasional Prosperity (.50 pts.)
Did you know:
A Micro level is the smallest level of something. For example, in a family setting the micro level would be an individual in the family.
The Meso level, also known as Mezzo, would be the larger level. For example, if I were describing a traditional family, I would describe the nuclear family (mom, dad, daughter and son), as the meso level. But if I were just speaking about the daughter independently, I would be using the micro approach.
The Macro level is the largest level. If I were speaking of this family’s extended family
(grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins), then I would be speaking of the Macro level.
Another example:
Individual = Micro
Tribe = Meso
All the tribes = Macro
