Title~ Native American Indian Tribe SearchAudience~ 4th grade students
Time Frame~ 1 week
Student Analysis~ The class consists of 13 fourth grade students. These students are all considered EIP. This
means they did not master the CRCT Georgia state testing. These students need a little extra time andpreparation when it comes to mastering standards. They are all great students who need a little push and help in
their daily work. Strategies that work well with them include: modifications, repeated skills being taught,
constant review, and content broken apart into smaller chunks when presented. When looking at the students
CRCT scores 4 out of the 13 students mastered this skill. Benchmark testing given each 9 weeks showed that 5out of the 13 students did meet this skill. This test is given each 9 weeks and we will use the next test to see if
they have improved.
Stage 1 Desired Results

2. The information literate student identifies a variety of types andformats of potential sources for information
Understanding (s)/goals
Students will understand that:
Native Americans settled in different parts of the
world.
Native American groups had different
characteristics and will determine theirdifferences.
Essential Question(s):
What are characteristics from each of the
Native American Indian tribes?
How do I use my resources to answer
questions and present new information I
have learned?
Student objectives (outcomes):
Students will be able to:
Distinguish between the different Native America Indian Tribes.
Describe the Native American Indian Tribes food, clothing, and shelter and determine how these play a kwy role in their
lives.
Address main ideas and give supporting details
Stage 2 Assessment Evidence
Performance Task(s)/Assessment:
Goal: Students will choose a Native American Indian
tribe based on their own preference and will produce
a technology lesson using a web 2.0 tool.
Role- Students role is to be a group partner in
producing a Native American Indian project.
Product- You may produce either:
~ Create a photo story based on your chosen Indian
tribe~ PowerPoint presentation that will be uploaded to
share with the class.
~ Create a Slide Rocket presentation to share with the
class.
Standards and Criteria- Students and teachers will
use the rubric to assess each student and each other.
Other Evidence:
The assessment will assess student background
knowledge of Indian tribes and characteristics
of each. This assessment will be copied from the
assessment resource book that comes with the
teacher edition social studies curriculum.
Students will discuss and answer oral questions
each day as an assessment for teachers to see
where the students are and what they
understand.
Teacher observations will be used to assess
student understand of the content standards
and the web 2.0 tool.
Stage 3 Learning Plan
Learning Activities:Prior to these activities the teacher taught the unit on Native Americans. Some students did not master thesestandards so the teacher wanted to reteach and try a new approach for those students who need mastery. In
going back to re-teaching this standard we decided to include writing standards and reading standards so that
we do not lose time or fall behind in other subject areas. Informational writing is a part of the curriculum aswell as reading standards of cause and effect, main idea, and supporting detail.
Where~ This unit will be taught to 13 fourth grade students. Students are familiar with the native American
tribes however need a little more reinforcement on the characteristics. The students will complete a graphicorganizer based on research they will complete in the classroom and media center. Students will be taught
during the unit about informational writing by seeing examples during their research. They will also learn

about main idea and supporting detail while completing their graphic organizers. This will allow them to learnand practice multiple content concepts.
Hook- Begin the lesson by having students rotate and preview/read books on the different Indian Tribes. Afterhave students share what they know or observed in previewing these books. You could use a KWL chart for
this.
Show PowerPoint slides from the following site: http://nativeamericans.mrdonn.org/powerpoints.html
Experience- Students will be put in groups and given one of the Indian Tribes along with resources the teacher
has put together. These could include: books (these can be found in your school library), websites, pictures,textbooks, websites, etc.
Students will have posters to create on each group. They will include the following: food, clothing, shelter, and
location. Students will have several days to create these. Have groups share their projects.
Students will choose an Indian Tribe and complete and main idea/supporting detail graphic organizer. These
will allow student to review the concept of main idea and supporting detail. This skill has been previouslytaught. The teacher will question the students as a review of the concept.
The teacher will then introduce students to PhotoStory and Slide Rocket. Using the Smart Board the teacherwill create a project using both Web 2.0 tools. Students have experience with Power Point so a review is notneeded. Allow students an opportunity to practice with the programs using the lap top cart that the teacher has
checked out from the library. Walk the students through each of the web 2.0 tools as the teacher demonstrates
on the Smart Board.
Give student the project rubric so they know what is expected on their Web 2.0 based project. Give students
several days to use their group member, graphic organizer, books, websites, media center, and pictures tocreate their projects.
Review- Students will be given constant feedback form peers and teachers as they create their projects. This
will allow them the opportunity to review, reflect, and revise their work.
Evaluation- Students will present their projects with their group members. The class will use the rubric to grade
each other on their projects and performances.
Tailored/Accommodations-These student are all EIP (Early Intervention Students) students. The entire lesson
is accommodated for them in that is the second time they have seen this content. This is a review and secondchance for them to master these concepts.
Accommodations
~ Group students based on learning levels. Have the groups heterogeneously mixed so there are high and lowstudents mixed together.
~ Use support teachers and media specialist to assist with research and the Web 2.0 tools.~ Grouping students in groups allows student the opportunity to learn from other students.
~ The teacher will have multiple teaching styles to accommodate all the learning styles in the room. These arevisual, auditory, and kinesthetic.

Reflection
I really enjoyed planning and implementing this lesson. I enjoyed working with my collaborating
teacher and helping her meet the standards with her students. This class consists of 13 4th grade students that all
fall in the EIP category. This basically means that they did not meet the standards in passing the CRCT testingin 3rd grade. This meant that they needed help in almost all aspects and areas of 4th grade curriculum. This class
can be a tricky group in that they are not on level with other 4th grade students and some modification need to be
made with the curriculum in that the content may have to be taught more than once and it would need to
accommodate all the learning style in the class. This aspect can be tricky in non EIP classes with 30 or morestudents.
The lesson we decided to focus on was main idea and supporting detail and use Native American Tribes.The students have been working on this skill for several weeks and the teacher wanted to keep these skills fresh
in their minds. All reading/language arts skills need to be used throughout the entire year to keep the content
knowledge fresh in their minds. They had just finished up their unit on Native Americas. Some of the students
in the class did not master the standard and the teacher wanted to give them one more opportunity to master theskill.
We created a unit that used the Native American standards as well as reading standards. This entire unitwas a review for students so we did not have to introduce any new standards, since these students needed to
meet the standards and they had not. The students did great on this unit! I really enjoyed watching theircreativity in their presentations. This was a great tool to reinforce both standards and allow the students to earnmore grades on their standards. This was also beneficial to the students who do their best work with project
based learning. This allowed for those learners a time to flourish.
