o Referto Teach on TE 213o Ask students: What is a way to learn from the past?

3. Begin reading the text as a whole group (pages 212-217)4.

While students are reading, guide them in completing the reading skill worksheet as aclass. (Unit Resource 64)

5. Ask various questions from the margins of the TE that correspond with the readingcontent to check to understanding:

o What did the Delaware use to make clothes? (TE pg. 214)o What is a Navajo home called? (TE pg. 214)o What kinds of homes did the Osage have? (TE pg. 215)o Where did the Shasta live? (TE pg. 215)o What did American Indians use to make the things they needed? (TE pg. 216)

6. CLOSURE: Discuss the lesson as a whole groupo Students will write in their Social Studies journals

Answer the Review/Assess questions (TE pg. 217) Write questions on the board for students.

Complete the lesson review on page 217o Explain to students the Vocabulary/Study Guide (Unit Resources 65) that needsto be completed at home and returned in their homework folders.

F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding?

Various journal entry questions will be used as an assessment for understanding from TE

217 and lesson review. Also the reading skill worksheet (unit resources 64) and

vocabulary/study guide worksheet (unit resources 65) will be used for additional

assessment based on completion and accuracy.

Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson.Students will effectively be able to recognize and identify groups of American Indians

from earlier generations and their characteristics. They will also be able to define history

as the story of the past and of the people who came before us.

G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?


4/6



I think teaching the definition of history will be easiest to teach. Most students should

be familiar with this word and have probably heard it in the past.

2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?I think the most challenging part of this lesson to teach will be the differences

between the different American Indian groups. These are going to be foreign to thestudents and probably hard to understand and remember. This part of the lesson

might require some additional re-teaching.

3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?The extent literature piece on pages 212-221 can be used as an extension to this

lesson.

4. What can you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?Re-teaching strategies can be used for students who dont grasp the concepts of

this lesson. A re-teach mini-lesson (graphic organizer 8) can also be used to help

students who are not quite able to identify the characteristics of the different

American Indian groups.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?I dont know if anything would need to be changed but there certainly are a lot of

other American Indians groups that can be used in junction with this lesson for

comparing purposes. To expand this lesson, I might have my students pick 2 Indian

groups and compare them to each other and then present their comparisons to

the class.

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?I think the most difficult part of writing this lesson was actually finding a lesson I

wanted to write about and then finding the right standard to go with it. I dont think

that the standards always match the grade level textbooks which make it hard to

find the appropriate standard for each lesson.
