How to Build A Snowman Have you ever played in snow? Have you ever made a snowman? I love snow. I think that snow is fun to squish together. You could always go sledding and build snowmen. That's what I'm going to tell you how to do, build a snowman. Snowmen are fun to create. You could design it anyway you want. The original snowman is a common snowman that pretty much everybody makes when they build a snowman. You would make the original by following these steps: The step that you always need to remember is step 1. Look outside and make sure that there is thick, crunchy, and a lot of snow outside. Then, if there really is snow outside, get all of your snow gear on. When you go outside you have to remember your materials for the end of this process. Your materials are a carrot, raisins or buttons (a lot of them), a scarf (you can chose if you want a scarf or not), a hat (your choice also), and sticks from outside. Then you can go outside. Building a snowman is very fun, but if you aren't careful your snowman could turn out like a big ball of mush. Once you have everything outside, including yourself, you are ready to start step 2. Step 2 is the head. First what you have to do is make a snowball. You make a snowball by taking a little bit of snow and squishing it together in a ball shape, but not until it melts. Then you would roll the ball using the other snow so you make a medium sized ball. Put the ball aside because you won't need it yet. Now you are already for step 3. Step 3 is the middle part of the snowman. You would make a snowball and roll it in the other snow, but make the ball a little bit bigger than the first ball. Make sure that both balls are round. Put that ball aside too. The 4th step is the very bottom of your snowman. The bottom of your ball should be the biggest ball that you have. Again make a snowball and roll it in the other snow to make a big snowball. That will be your bottom. If any of your snowballs are not ball shaped, you should scrape some extra or loose snow off but make sure that it is still the size that it is supposed to be so your snowman will look good and round. The fifth step is stacking your snowman. Stack your snowman so that it looks kind of like a pyramid. Stack it where there is flat snow or no snow at all. Start with the biggest ball, the one that you just did. Then put the middle ball on top of the big ball. Then last but not least put the littlest ball on top of the middle ball. It may not look exactly like a pyramid. Make sure that the snowman is stacked in this order starting from the ground: Biggest ball, medium sized ball, smallest ball. Now you are ready for the finishing touches (step 6). Use all of your materials to do this step. Follow these directions to add finishing touches to your snowman. The raisins or buttons are for the eyes. Put two raisins or buttons about where the eyes would go on the head. Put three or four raisins or buttons on the middle part of your snowman, close together, in an up to down line. Your carrot is for your snowman’s nose. Put it about where the nose would go, under the eyes of your snowman. The sticks are arms for the snowman. Stick one stick on the middle part of your snowman, on one of the sides (middle part). Then stick the other stick in the other side of the middle part of your snowman. If you have a hat rest it on top of your snowman’s head, so it looks like it’s wearing a hat. If you have a scarf, put it around your snowman’s “neck”. So it looks like it’s wearing a scarf. Don’t make the scarf too tight. By then you should have a snowman! Usually I make tons of snowmen. I do lot’s of other things too! Don’t just waste your time building a snowman. Their fun but not fun enough to make just them in your whole snow time! Do other things too! P.S: If it looks like a big ball of mush… jump on top of it and start again!

Weapons and tools paragraph

For the Ojibwa, wood was very popular for weapon making. To kill animals, men used bow and arrows, steel traps, spears, and fish nets. The only tools women made were fishnets, and steel traps. Wars were rare, but when they did happen, the Ojibwa used war clubs, torches, and occasionally guns and spears. When a weapon or trap was broken, the Ojibwa didn’t waste it and make new ones, men would simply repair it or make a new one depending on the way it was broken. Those were the weapons and tools the Ojibwa found helpful in many ways.

Crafts paragraph

The Ojibwa were known for crafts such as hand carved interments, decorated buffalo skulls, and sacred birch bark scrolls. The hade mad interments the Ojibwa used were flutes, eagle bone whistles, rattles, and drums. As fun crafts, people made painted and beaded buffalo skulls, buffalo bags, and tobacco cases, and other crafts they made were pipes, and lances. They also made birch bark boxes, dishes, utensils, and many baskets. Those were the crafts the Ojibwa enjoyed making and had to make.

Society Paragraph

The Ojibwa was organized by the Ojibwa government which was based on clans. They had a secret religious society, the Midewiwin society, when members tried to gain a long life using herbs and magic. If a couple wanted to get married, they would speak to the woman’s parents; and they would decide everything. If they did get married, they lived together for a year. And if she didn’t have a baby, they would be split up; but if she did, they would live with her parents for a year. Then move into their own wigwam. When a clan member died, he/she were washed, dressed in their finest clothes and jewelry, their hair was combed and braided, and their face was painted. Then he/she was wrapped in a blanket and birch bark. And finally was buried with their feet pointing to the west; to call the sprits. When a baby died, the mother carried its clothes in a cradle board for a year.

Everyday Activities Paragraph

Everyday, men, women, and children had special tasks to perform in order for the tribe to move smoothly. Children didn’t do much other than gather food, help make birch bark baskets and other household items, and watch their mother and father did; to learn what is expected of them when they got older. Women mostly took care of the children. They also gathered food and gardened, made clothes, and prepared the large meal for the day; and medicines. And little things like making jewelry and baskets. Men mostly hunted, made weapons, traded, made utensils, and gathered wild rice. Men and women did nothing alike when it came to jobs.

Relationships Paragraph The Ojibwa didn’t have many wars. This was because they lived in places surrounded by lakes and rivers. They still moved beyond these places, but they didn’t have very many relationships with other groups. The Ojibwa had a fight with the Lakota for farming land on the eastern plains; the Ojibwa won, so the Lakota were forced to migrate to the western plains. They were part of the Algonquian Indians, which was a tribe that had more power than the tribes that were part of it. Their closest cultural relatives were Cree, Pottawatomie, and Ottawa. Clothing paragraph The Ojibwa had to adapt to dress according to the sharp changes in the weather. Men wore long- sleeve shirts, leggings, and moccasins in the winter, and breech cloths in the summer. Women wore a woven skirt and leggings, with a dress over top for all of the seasons. Children wore what their mother and father wore, but a lot smaller. Everybody wore fur robes during the cold seasons, made out of deer, beaver, rabbit, and squirrel skins. To make summer clothes, women wove grass and other light materials like chewed birch bark together. Winter clothes were made out of tanned deer skins that women sewed together and usually decorated. Women decorated their clothes by sewing on shells, beads, feathers, and porcupine quills. Porcupine quills were a very important decoration, and to get them to look nice, women dyed and flattened them. Women and Men wore very different clothes because of the jobs that they had to do. Transportation paragraph The Ojibwa Indians didn’t have a lot of transportation, because of the time period. One of the little transportation that they had was birch bark canoes. Birch bark canoes helped to gather food, because wild rice, which was very popular, grew by the water or swamps, so women rowed the canoes down to a spot where the wild rice grew, and men knocked of the rice into the canoes. Another transportation that they had was snowshoes, which didn’t help when they had to walk somewhere in the summer time. The winters were often long and severe, that meant that the rivers were frozen, so they depended on their feet to get everywhere. Shelter Paragraph The main shelter that the Ojibwa used was the wigwam. “Wigwam” means home or dwelling or “to dwell”, which comes from the Algonquian root; //wik//. Wigwams were made of bent trees and poles to make the frame, then it was covered with grass and birch bark. Men mainly made the wigwams, but women helped by tying the bent trees and poles together with strips of tree bark. Wigwams were the best for the winter because the Ojibwa made them with great care, so holes weren’t in them, and they were very sturdy to hold up against winds. Another home was the peaked lodge. A peaked lodge was an A-shaped frame, which was covered in bark, used by hunters, and was a temporary shelter for them because the bark around it could easily be rolled up and moved. Other homes that they hardly, but did use, were the bark house, and the tipi. The Ojibwa only had a few homes to live in. Location Paragraph

The primary state the Ojibwa lived on was Michigan. The United States had regions that were named after the geography. These regions were named based on the climate, vegetation, and resources native to the area. The Ojibwa were part north and western plains, and part eastern woodlands. In North America, the Ojibwa occupied Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio, eastern North and South Dakota, northern Illinois, western New York, and exactly today’s; Erie, Pennsylvania. They also occupied all of central Canada.

Geo. Features/Climate/Water Paragraphs

The Ojibwa were part eastern plains and part eastern woodlands. Since the primary state for the Ojibwa was Michigan, the main water sources were the 5 great lakes; Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, and Superior. There also was the Georgian Bay (which connects to lake Huron); and in Canada, lake Winnipeg, lake Nipigon, lake of the Woods, and Reindeer lake. There was lots of rain where they lived; to feed all of the lakes. Rain also made more successful; and the grass to grow 8 feet tall. And back then, grass was a rich environment. To clear fields for farming, they cut down trees that were there, and then burned the land. The western plains were not as dry as the eastern plains; it got a lot more rain and vegetation. The highest temperature that they ever got was 112 degrees F; and the coldest, was -51 degrees F. There often were long and severe winters; and hot, but not so hot summers. Where the Ojibwa lived was one of the richest environments for land resources.

Food Paragraph

Wild rice was very popular for the Ojibwa Indians. They were very skilled at spear fishing, which their government heavily protected the right to do. Maple sugar was used for sweating the fish, and also deer, bear, rabbit, occasional buffalo, wolf meat, and wild rice. To make the food, women usually contained meat or fish, broth, wild rice with maple sugar, and dried berries. Pretty much everybody who could spent spring and fall farming and gathering in villages. What they gathered included nuts, fruits, and berries; and roots, stems, and leaves for medicine. They planted only 3 varieties of vegetables, but lots of each of them. Corn, beans, and squash were these 3; and out of those 3, corn was the most important. To cook or keep liquids warm, women would keep pot on a small fire, and put hot rocks in them. The surplus (or extra), was cut, dried, smoked, pounded, and finally stored until they needed it next.
