Mrs. Colago: Teacher will show introduction to
migration video. Teacher will then explain that people
came to North America due to shallow waters of the
Bering Strait between Asia and North America,
creating a land bridge, when the two continents were
close together.
Me: Teacher will ask students what a strait is. A strait
is a narrow section of water that connects two larger
bodies of water. Teacher will show Pangea Puzzle on
overhead projector and show students where the
Bering Strait would have been and how this connects
to what they have been learning in science for the
past two weeks.
Mrs. Colago: Teacher will explain that the waters were
shallower during the Ice Age. Teacher will discuss why
people would have traveled from Asia to North
America. A possible theory for this is that people
were following Mammoths. Teacher will ask what
good a mammoth was to people many years ago.
Mammoths could be used for clothes, food, and
shelter.
Teacher will say they will be learning about the first
three ancient cultures.

Closure
Your reflection on the lesson including ideas for improvement for next time:
Mrs. Colago and I tried a new way of having students write the notes down. Instead of having
students write the notes while she was writing them on the board, she asked them to write
them down during the last five minutes of class to motivate them to write them down faster.
However, this did not work efficiently. While Mrs. Colago was writing notes, they had nothing
to do with their hands and reverted to talking or playing with things on their desk. So it is
best to have the students write down the notes with the teacher.
The students were very engaged with the three storytelling. Many students asked me more
about these pictures/Native American tribes throughout the week outside class. Some
students even drew connects between social studies and science.
When Mrs. Colago and I reviewed the information with the students, they remembered the
information I presented during the PowerPoint the best. This made me realize how powerful
storytelling and picture can be for students memories.
