The teacher will begin the Thursday lesson by first reviewing what the students covered the day before, in a method similar to this: “Yesterday, we discussed Native American culture of the different tribes, as well as the places where these tribes were located in the United States. Today, we’re going to be picking out a few famous Native Americans from some of those tribes we talked about…” <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">2. The Teacher can ask the following questions to guide this discussion: <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">a) What are some of the things we remember from yesterday about the different Native American tribes? <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">b)  What do we know about the culture of these tribes of people? <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">c) Can anyone name one Native American that they have heard about before? <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">3.  At this point, the teacher can build on students’ prior knowledge by showing students labeled pictures/portraits of the famous Native Americans to be discussed in the lesson ( Sacagawea, Osceola, Pocahontas, and Squanto), and asking students if they know who these people are. The teacher should also pass around a Sacagawea dollar coin to help students identify their own prior knowledge about this particular famous Native American. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">4. The following questions can be asked to guide this discussion: <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">a) What do we know about these individuals? <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">b)  What do we want to know about famous Native Americans? <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">5. As the teacher reviews orally what was covered in class the day before, the teacher will fill out a KWHL chart with the students, including the information they know (what they learned the day before primarily) about Native American tribes and culture and famous Native Americans, what they want to know about these famous Native Americans, and how they want to find out about this. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">6. The teacher will then introduce today’s lesson by explaining to students that certain Native American individuals played a key role in the history of our country, and today they are going to learn about and discuss four of these specific Native American individuals. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">7. After showing the students the portraits of the selected famous Native Americans, the teacher will hand out the section readings about the following famous Native Americans: Sacagawea, Osceola, Pocahontas, and Squanto (found on []) to the students. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">8. Once all students have a copy of each of the readings, the teacher will read each section aloud, as the students follow along. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">9. As the teacher reads aloud to students the sections on each Native American, the students will add each of these individuals names, along with one fact about them to their Native American Pictionary book. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">10. When the readings are complete, the teacher will explain to students that they will write a paragraph about one of these famous Native Americans they have just heard about. In their paragraphs, the students will explain why they chose who they did as their favorite famous Native American, as well as three facts about their Native American. Along with their paragraph, students will draw a picture portraying what they believe their chosen Native American looked like when they were alive. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">11. After the teacher explains the instructions, the teacher will have students split up into groups of around five, according to whichever famous Native American they chose to write about. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">12. Once the students have split up into their groups, the teacher will have one student volunteer from each group come up to collect paper and crayons for the members of their group. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">13. After students have drafted their paragraph, they will turn to one member of their group and swap papers to peer-edit. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">14. Students will then make any necessary changes to their papers, and begin drawing their picture of their chosen Native American. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">15. When students have completed their paragraphs and their portraits, each group will come to the front of the room, one group at a time, and, as a group, they will share three facts about their chosen Native American to the other members of the class, along with their portraits of their famous Native Americans. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">16. As the students present their information they learned in their groups, the teacher will fill out the appropriate oral presentation rubric (attached) and place it in the students’ portfolios. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">17. When the groups have finished presenting, the teacher will have the students place their famous Native American paragraph inside their vest-portfolios and return to their groups. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">18. Once all of the papers are placed in the students’ portfolios, the teacher will explain to the students that they will now choose one member from each of their groups to perform in the Pocahontas Reader’s Theater for the other members of the class. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">19. Students will choose one member of their group, and these chosen students will then come to the front of the class and will be assigned a role and handed the highlighted readers’ theater scripts to read aloud. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">20. The selected students will read aloud the paragraph about the character they are portraying to the other members of the class. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">21. The other members of the class will follow along on their own scripts, which will be handed to them by the teacher. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">22. When the students have completed the readers’ theater, all of the students will return to their seats. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">23. When the students are seated, the teacher will go over with them the remaining columns of the KWHL chart (H and L), where the students will discuss as a class what they learned about famous Native Americans, and how they learned this information. The teacher will record all of this information on the chart at the front of the room. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">24. Once the KWHL chart and discussion are completed, the teacher will inform the students that they will now create a necklace for their Native American costume for the final day presentation. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">25. At this time, the teacher will hand out10 different colored beads, a paper feather, and string (these items will be counted out and placed into plastic Ziploc bags ahead of time) to each student to craft their own Native American necklace. <span style="font-family: Times; font-size: 11pt; mso-bidi-language: #0400; mso-fareast-font-family: Times; msobidilanguage: #0400; msofareastfontfamily: Times; msolist: Ignore;">26.
