The
photo sequence from the slide and tape show It'll Be Gone When
I'm Gone shows Lucreaty Clark making a white oak basket. This
almost vanished skill is being kept alive by being passed down from

Students
are asked to evaluate the photographs and determine whether they
contain enough information to instruct a person in making a white
oak basket.

Plan |
| |
Present
students with the following scenario:
Imagine
you were living by yourself in a cabin in the woods. You have
found edible plants growing in a field a few miles away, but you
need a basket to carry them back to your cabin.
You
have an ax, a hammer, and a knife. White oak trees grow near your
cabin. If you had just the pictures could you identify the white
oak tree by it's leaves, and make a basket based on the information
in the pictures.
Then
have the students choose one of the following responses and write
a three to five paragraph response with supporting detail.
- Yes,
I could make the basket. Here's how I would do it.
- No,
I would need more information. This is the information I would
need.
