Pre-Instructional Planning:
The thought process that leads to the development of quality, meaningful
lesson plans
Guiding questions that will provide the framework for the lesson.
Who will you be teaching? Identify student grade level as well as academic
functioning level and specific needs of individual children.
The lesson will be presented to a fourth grade classroom which includes three
students with special needs: gifted, behavioral, and learning disability.
Who if anybody will assist with the presentation of this lesson and what will
their role be?
The regular classroom teacher, special education teacher for the special
accommodations with special needs children
When will this lesson be completed? (Will it be a one day lesson or multi-day
lesson)?
This is a set of three lessons and each lesson will be distributed over a timeframe
of one to two days depending on student progress.
Why are you planning to teach this lesson? Why must the information/skill be
presented to the students?
The lesson is being taught to provide the students with the skills of recognizing the
important roles and impacts different cultures have on their culture. It is also
hopeful that this lesson will give the student the desire to explore and discover
different cultures and their impacts.
How does this lesson relate to the previous lesson? How does this lesson relate
to future lessons?
This lesson will relate to previous lesson on cultural contributions and encourage
students to research and explore the contributions of their specific assigned tribe.
The lesson will lead to student discovery and promote student creativity.
How will you determine if students have met the lesson objective?
The groups will give a presentation on three tribes. The presentation will use
technological integration using Glogster and videos to represent their assigned
tribe. The main concepts which must be displayed include cultural contributions,
tribe location, and tribal traditions.
How should this lesson be presented to ensure maximum student access and
participation?
The lesson will begin as whole group lecture and powerpoint presentation to
increase motivation. The class will then be broken into groups of four and work
cooperatively with teacher guidance.
Lesson Objectives:
The student will be able to identify and state five traditional Native American
crafts.
The student will be able to discover and name at least five contributions which
Native Americans have made to the United States culture.
The students will be able to list the ten largest Indian tribes in the United
States and name the tribes in their state.
The students will design their own beadwork, identify three different kinds of
baskets, and explain in the form of a short report how kids make their own
moccasins.
The students will make a word document chart indicating the following
contributions of Native Americans to U.S. culture: FOODS, ANIMALS,
MATH, NON-EDIBLE PLANTS, MEDECINES, GOVERNMENT, AND
ECONOMY.
After seeing a list of the ten largest Indian tribes the students will use an
interactive map to find tribes in their state. They will develop a Glogster
poster using the Native American Image Bank to identify the tribes.
Special needs students will be paired with a peer to design their beadwork.
This will be completed in a cooperative learning environment of four students
in each group. The student with special needs will work with an appropriate
peer and the special education teacher as well as the regular teacher will offer
one- on- one guidance depending on the special need.
The teacher will have students in groups for this lesson. To ensure that all
group members participate equally, there will be extra guidance provided by
the teacher. The special needs students will have predetermined tasks in
regard to developing the chart.
The special needs students will work with a peer and both will develop the
Glogster poster. Again the teacher will provide extra assistance through
guided worksheets identifying the tribes.
Lesson Presentation:
Introduction/Motivational Activities/Anticipatory Set: ALL 3 LESSONS
There will be three learning centers placed around the classroom to foster an
interest in Native American Culture. One center will have a computer with
limited access to various sites to explore different aspects pertinent to Native
American Culture. This center will have some Native American artifacts such
as beads, cornhusk dolls, and moccasins displayed. Another station will have
a variety of writing prompts along with a diversity of reading, materials
(books, national geographic photos) to allow students to write short stories
and poems that relate to the Native American Culture. The third station will
have a map of the United States and magnetic tribe magnets along with
resource materials to help the student determine where the ten tribes are
native to. The teacher will then explain to the children they will be exploring
Indian Culture and will be creating and researching cooperative groups.
1. At the beginning of the lesson the teacher will ask the class to name some of
the contributions which Native Americans have made to our culture. List on
blackboard.
2. Students will be put into groups of four and research information utilizing
Grolier-Online. There will be note-taking as this is being performed.
3. Students will then make a word document chart indicating the following
contributions (They will have previous experience to Excel usage): Foods,
Animals, Math, Non-Edible plants, medicines, government, and economy.
4. Students will print out document and be prepared to give an oral
presentation to their classmates.
1. The teacher will list the ten largest Indian tribes on board: Navajo,
Choctow, Sioux, Chippewa, Apache, Blackfeet, Iroquois, Pueblo, and Creek.
2. The students will be asked if they have any information to share regarding
any of these tribes and their contributions.
3. Students will be told they will work cooperatively in assigned groups of
four and using the computer they will find the tribes in their state using
Grolier Online.
4. Students will use the interactive map on Grolier to locate the tribes in the
various states.
5. Using the Native American Image Bank the students will produce a
Glogster presentation on the contributions of two Native American Indian
tribes of their choice to be presented to their class.
The students will realize the significance of bead, winter counts, cornhusk
dolls, moccasins, and baskets in the Native American Culture. They will
design their own beadwork, identify three different kinds of baskets and
observe other children make their own moccasins through the use of
Webquest. This is implemented in a cooperative learning environment with
the regular classroom teacher and inclusive teacher circulating the groups
offering guidance. At the conclusion of the lesson the group will present their
discoveries and beadwork to the class in the form of a group presentation.
The students will see a list of the ten largest Indian tribes within the United
States. They will use an interactive map to find tribes in their state using
Grolier Online. The children will understand the widespread geographical
location of the various Native American tribes and their contributions to each
specific state. Using the Native American Image Bank which has 450 photos,
the students will produce a Glogster presentation or powerpoint on these
contributions. This will be presented by the group to the class. Teacher
guidance and suggestions will be given.
Closure:
At the conclusion of these three lessons, the class will come together as a group
and there will be a class discussion on selected points of interest. The teacher
will suggest some follow-up activities which may include the following: Native
American food preparation, Native American Art creation, development of a
play in regard to traditions and contributions of the Native American…
perhaps a Native American speaker at a later date.
