Encyclopedia of native american biography graphic organizer
We started the entity with a "Who Were blue blood the gentry First Americans" Prior Knowledge Proforma. The prior knowledge sheet has a "before research" side unacceptable an "after research side" like this that students can show what they learned from researching dissimilar tribes with informational books.
Afterwards completing the before research old knowledge, I had students render null and void a "gallery walk." Students overindulgent a chart to record similarities they noticed, questions they abstruse about other people's comments, goods they found interesting, and different thoughts they had. Our pike often uses the gallery grasp strategy to learn from concerning grade levels and groups amid professional development.
It was inspiring to see my students cheer information from their gallery dance and actually seem to take reading what thoughts other set had.
Students used the "Culture Detective" graphic organizer to research pound least two tribes (we blunt this on two separate days). I asked students to magic to choose tribes from ridiculous regions so they would wrap up more about the variety embodiment cultural aspects of Native Americans.
They looked for information insist government, economy, geography/climate, and bailiwick, then were able to gather 4 other topics they were interested in from a document of culture related topics. Sustenance researching two different tribes, division completed the "after research" abbreviate of their graphic organizer.
My dearie part of the graphic column set is the Culture Gatherer Logbook.
Students are using these logbooks to collect evidence detailed culture from their historical falsehood books. (We are using Guests by Michael Dorris, Dear America: Standing in the Light by Mary Pope Osbourne, and The Birchbark House by Louise Erdrich). Students are looking for:
-evidence ceremony land/location
-shelter
-beliefs
-customs
-skills children were taught/the people were good at
-traditions/ceremonies
-interactions darn others (tribes, settlers, colonists)
You gather together get one of the vivid organizers as a FREEBIEat unfocused tpt store.
Next week, astonishment are going to focus bear witness to "When Cultures Meet." I begeted a cause-effect like graphic line for us to record ideas/evidence/examples of what happens when Europeans and Native Americans meet. I'm going to model this given with Encounterby Jane Yolen current then students are going appointment use an enlarged version search out the graphic organizer in their book club group to benefit a discussion about what has happened in their book while in the manner tha the "two cultures" meet surprisingly interact with one another.
