The problem: Can you create a Salish First Nations Longhouse in Minecraft?

This sections goal is to:

1. You will need to gather information and models on what a Salish longhouse looked like and what it was like living there. Below are 4 links to sites you can use to gather information that you will need.

a)                                  This will be your main source of information, it has everything from a visual guide of the

 

dwelling, to types of fishing equipment used.  From this site you should be able to draw a birds eye view of what your longhouse will look like.  

 

                                                                                                  

b)                                                                                                     these three links will take you to examples of

 

student built longhouses

 

c) Once you have enough information on your design you can start to draw your longhouse from a top down view, keep in mind you will need to determine how large it will be (measure in Minecraft blocks)

Open your house up to other students to come and visit.  They can leave suggestions on what they liked and what improvements you could make to your model!
