Learning Objective 2.3 The student will compare the lives and
contributions of three American Indian cultures of the
past and present, with emphasis on
a) the Powhatan of the Eastern Woodlands;
b) the Lakota of the Plains; and
c) the Pueblo peoples of the Southwest.
P Activity The lesson will introduce information and visuals to help
e students understand the culture of the Powhatan, Lakota, and
d Pueblo tribes. The teacher will have begun preliminary whole-
a group instruction discussing what three American Indian tribes
g will be the topic of discussion. This lesson is to reinforce what
o students are actively learning through an interactive lesson
g about the tribe cultures. The teacher will use a map or globe to
y show the different locations of these groups and explain the
landscape that they live in. Understanding where the Native
American tribes live and what they have access to will help
reinforce what each culture does. Using the Social Studies Flip
Chart in Activinspire streamed to the smartboard, students will
see information given by the teacher while alternating taking
turns to display visual images of the tribes, fill in the blank with
terms, and complete charts and venn diagrams comparing the
tribes.
The initial slide of the presentation has images which the
teacher will use to discuss which tribe is which. This will lead to
the first topic of the Powhatan tribe. The teacher will call on
students one at a time throughout the entire presentation to
interact with the smartboard. The first student will tap on a
circle with a play button to display an image that pertains to
that circle. The teacher will that student describe what they
see in each image. [Ex. student taps on the Powhatan Indians
circle to reveal an image of Powhatan tribe members
congregating together.] Teacher will select students to come
up to tap a circle until there are no more and move to the next
slides. After slides with additional information (men and
woman duties), there is a slide with fill in the blanks. Students
will alternate to help fill in the paragraph about Powhatan
Indians.
The same process is repeated with the Lakota and Pueblo
tribes. Bubble flow chart with clickable images, followed by
additional info, followed by fill in the blanks. The difference is
that after the Lakota Indians, there is a venn diagram of which
to compare Powhatan with Lakota Indians. Then after the
Pueblo Indians, there is a venn diagram to compare Pueblo
versus Lakota. The teacher will assist students with reflecting
on what each tribe does and call up students to move the
terms to either one tribe or the other, or if the term or detail
applies to both tribes, then it would be put in the center. [Ex:
The Powhatan and Lakota Indians both were farmers and
hunters.]
The last slide of the presentation flip chart allows students to
put terms under each of the tribes. This is a good final
reflection as students will rely on their memory and help from
their peers to figure out where the information goes. Once the
presentation is complete, students will be broken down into
pairs to collaborate on their own venn diagram comparing past
Native American Indian life to their own present life.
