We've just been assigned our 1st project--an ultra cool shoebox diorama! Each student has been assigned a tribe to create a diorama and ABC chart about. Specific details and a rubric were given out for students to refer back to. I highly recommend doing some research first, and then working a little each night rather than waiting until the last minute. Here is a great resource file to get you started---tons of resources in general, as well as specific sites for each tribe. Good luck! Work smart, and work ahead of time!
