Graffiti Directions• Around the room, you will see a picture next to each piece of paper.

• Each group will have 3 matching color markers.

• You should have a quiet conversation about each picture with your group members. Then do the following:

– 1. Your group must write down one educated question. • The question should be at least one sentence!

– 2. Your group must write one well-thought out response to a previous question OR one statement about the picture.• The response or statement should be at least one sentence!

• You will have 25 minutes to walk around the room. If we have time at the end of class, we will discuss what you write on each piece of paper.

Questions Before Activity Each response should be at least two sentences:

1. Define (in your own words) DESTINY.– The first sentence should be your definition. Your definition cannot contain

the word “destiny”!

2. How do you think settlers in the United States viewed land? To whom did it belong? How could you tell?

3. How do you think settlers treated Native Americans they came into contact with? How can you tell?
