On-going daily (progress-monitoring) Assessment:


Students will refer to their scale daily to indicate their comprehension of that
days topic.
At the beginning of the lesson, have students refer back to the anchor chart on the
interactive whiteboard, and explain to their shoulder partner what they recall
from the previous day. While this is going on, walk around the room and listen in

to student conversations.
During the actual lesson, be sure to ask questions of all students. Also, ask
questions that have multiple answers/that have information that could be added to
the initial response. Provoke higher order thinking and reasoning skills of all
students.

yesterday (the Southwest and Great Plains regions). Allow them to refer back to
the anchor chart that is displayed on the interactive whiteboard, and have them
discuss with their shoulder. partner what they took away from yesterdays lesson.
(3 minutes) (ESOL: 2, 4, 6, 13) (UDL: 3.1)
Inform students that today, we are going to finish up the Great Plains region, and
we are going to also cover the Cherokee tribe that was located within the Eastern
Woodlands region of the United States. (ESOL: 13
Have students break into their four groups, and using the QR code below (or
http://www.nmai.si.edu/searchcollections/results.aspx?
catids=0&place=plains&src=1-3 if that does not work), have them pull up this

resource on their group iPads. (ESOL: 2) (UDL: 3.3)


Allow each group to explore this site for a few minutes, and explain to them that
these are actual Plains Indian artifacts that are located within the National
Museum of the American Indian. These are all actual pieces of evidence that give
us insight into what life was like for these people. (5 minutes). (ESOL: 2)
Explain to students that we will now recreate one of these artifacts individually
with the help of our groupmates. Pass out beads, string, and straw segments, and
tell students to click on the second artifact within this site titled necklace. Then,
allow them time to create a Sioux Indian necklace of their own. (8 minutes)
(ESOL: 2, 30, 46) (UDL: 8.3)
Once students have finished their necklace, tell them we are going to now
transition into the Plains neighbors to the East. Remind them that this region of
the United States is directly connected to the Plains Indian region, and that this
region is so vast that we are going to hone in on one tribe in particular (the
Cherokee). (4 minutes)
Within their groups, give students their final research worksheet that will be
added to their foldable, and give them the resources needed to complete this
within their small groups. They should have an iPad at each group, and they will
use the following resources to fill out their research for today: Discovery Atlas of
Native Americans by Rand McNally, pages 33-36, and the following QR codes
(that can be scanned using their group iPads): (3 minutes) (ESOL: 2, 43) (UDL:
2.5, 4.1, 8.3)

8. In their groups, students should productively complete their research


individually, but in a collaborative manner. They should each be able to fill out
(or draw a picture) within each section. While this is going on, the teacher should
be walking around the room monitoring student progress. Students who appear to
be struggling should be assisted, and any questions students might have need to
be answered. If students finish early, have them walk around to help other
struggling students. This will give them a deeper comprehension of the material
while also helping those who appear to be confused by the material. If students
are struggling, allow them to draw images within their research worksheets to
visually represent what they have learned. (12 minutes). (ESOL: 2, 33, 34, 36,
43) (UDL: 4.1, 5.2, 7.3, 8.3)
9. As a class, we will watch a 3 minute video on the Trail of Tears, which forced
the Cherokee tribe out of the homeland. After the video, ask the students for their
initial reactions from the video. Were they surprised? Had they heard of this
before? (5 minutes) http://safeshare.tv/v/ss5711260090b83 (ESOL: 22, 36)
10. Now, within their small groups, students will take turns reading portions of
the following article to each other. This will extend their knowledge on what the
Trail of Tears actually was, how it came about, and how it affected the Native
Americans that lived within the Cherokee tribe. They will then write a letter to
President Jackson, who signed the Indian Removal Act. Have students explain to
him their opinions on the matter. Do they think it was wrong? Why or why not?
Should people be forced to move out of their homes, and struggling to survive
along the way? Let students independently write their letters, and encourage them
to think of thoughtful reasons as to why they may think this act was so wrong.
After they finish, allow them to turn to their shoulder partners and briefly discuss
what they wrote about, and what their stances on the matter were. If time allows,
let a few students share their ideas to the class. (13 minutes). (ESOL: 2, 22)

11. Wrap up the day with looking back to our anchor chart from the four previous
days on the interactive whiteboard, adding what we learned today about the
Cherokee tribe. Have students add their ideas and information they found by
looking in their foldables, and make a point to state that if any sections are blank
within a students foldable, now would be the perfect time to add more
information to it to help them remember what we learned about today. At this
point, they should also mark on their scales how they feel that today went, and
how much they feel they learned throughout the lesson. Encourage honesty from
all students, as this is what helps their teacher to understand what they may be
struggling with. (UDL:6.4, 9.3)
12. For tomorrow: Encourage students to dress up if they wish! At this point, they
have seen many pictures and have written about/drawn their own images of what

Native Americans wore throughout various regions of the United States. If they
so wish, they can dress up as much or as little as they want (even just wearing
moccasins or a beaded necklace counts as dressing up). Inform students that they
will be performing a readers theatre based on a Native American folktale, and
that dressing up will only help enhance their understanding of this topic.

Discussion Notes:
Local National History Museum: This could be utilized at any point throughout the unit if there is an exhibit
pertaining to Native Americans. This would not only give students further access to artifacts and informational
resources, but it would help to put the information theyre more into perspective.
Parent involvement: Having parents come into help out with this (or really any activity, ever) would most definitely
ensure that things run more smoothly. This particular day is packed with information, activities and videos that the
children need to partake in, and having an extra set of eyes and hands would ensure that everything goes according
to plan.

On-going daily (progress-monitoring) Assessment:


Daily use of a scale to monitor students overall comprehension of what took
place on that specific day.
Student comprehension checks with reference back to the anchor chart--have
students discuss in small groups what they remember from the day before, listen
in on conversations between children.
Make sure to ask open ended questions of all students--allow appropriate wait
time to make sure all students are attempting to think of answers/thoughts that
could contribute to discussion.
Welcome students into the last day of our unit. Refer back to our anchor chart on
the interactive whiteboard of the last four days to review major points of each
region we have covered. Allow them time to flip their their own foldables and
folders, and talk with a shoulder partner about what they learned throughout this
unit. What was the most fun activity they completed? Which regions do they feel
they learned the most about? (7 minutes) (ESOL: 2, 4, 6, 7, 14, 15, 50) (UDL:

Inform students that today we will learn what a folktale is, and then we will
perform a readers theatre based off of a Native American folktale. (1 minute)
Introduce students to Johnny Appleseed, a classic American folktale. Tell students
that we are going to read this folktale to get an idea of what a traditional folktale
is before we begin digging into our Native American folktale. Ask students if
they have ever heard of a folktale or of Johnny Appleseed. Allow multiple

students to contribute to this conversation and add their thoughts and ideas of
what this may mean. After collecting various ideas, write folklore in the middle
of a document on the interactive whiteboard. Write branches off of this word as to
what this means, how to perceive it, and what elements make up a folklore. (7
minutes) (ESOL: 1, 3, 6, 14) (UDL: 8.3, 7.3, 1.2, 1.3, 3.1, 3.2, 3.4)
Pass out sticky notes to each student, and ask them to look for elements
throughout the story that make it a folklore. Introduce the story, show students the
visuals that go with the story, and then begin reading Johnny Appleseed. Stop
halfway through the story, when Johnny runs into the Native American Indians on
his journey. Ask students what they think the Native Americans thought of
http://www.udlcenter.org/aboutu
Johnny Appleseed. Do you think they were scared of him? Was he helping or
dl/udlguidelines/udlguidelines_
harming them? Based on where he was traveling to, what region do you think he
graphicorganizer
may have encountered Native Americans? Continue reading the rest of the tale,
reminding students that they are to look for elements that make up a folktale
within this story. (10 minutes) (ESOL: 1,3, 6, 17, 15, 40) (UDL: 8.3, 7.3, 6.3, 6.4,
2.1, 4.1)
5. At the end of the story, ask students to share their ideas on what they heard
throughout the story that would lead them to believe that this is a folktale. Do
they think this is fiction or factual? Could this actually have occurred? How do
they think this story is still around? Was it passed down from generation to
generation and then published? Does it have a moral or idea that readers are
supposed to take away from it? (5 minutes). (ESOL: 1, 3, 4, 17, 15) (UDL: 8.3,
6.3, 6.4, 7.3)
6. Now, students will begin looking at the Native American readers theatre that we
will be performing in class today. Remind students that we just looked at a
folktale that is popular within modern American culture--we will now look at one
that is popular within Native American cultures. Pass out copies of the dialogue
to each group of students.
(http://www.educationworld.com/a_curr/reading/ReadersTheater/pdfs/ReadersT
heater032-download.pdf) Allow them to first read through the parts as a group,
and try to get an understanding for the story before it actually begins as a whole
class activity. (10 minutes) (ESOL: 1, 2, 3, 4, 16, 32) (UDL: 8.3, 5.3, 2.1, 2.2,
3.2, 7.3)
7. Assign parts to students who wish to partake in the actual reading of the readers
theatre activity. However, even if a student does not get a part, encourage them to
follow along with the folktale, and truly help them to understand what is going on
within it. If a student does not have an actual script piece, again hand them a
sticky note and have them write down elements they find within this folktale that
make it one. What specific characteristics define this as a folktale? Whats the
message behind it? Do you think this was something that was passed down from
generation to generation? What questions do you have? (5 minutes). (ESOL: 1, 3,
4, 16, 22) (UDL: 8.3, 3.3, 5.1, 4.1, 9.1)
8. Actually perform the readers theatre all the way through. At the end of it, allow
time for discussion. What did this have to do with our Native American unit?
How can it relate? What elements within the story proved that it was a folktale?
Are there any questions regarding the message behind the folktale? Why might
Native Americans pass down stories from generation to generation? (10 minutes)
(ESOL: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11) (UDL: 9.1, 7.3, 7.2)
9. Congratulate students on successfully completing their unit. Refer back to the
anchor chart one last time to review what we have learned, and encourage them
to turn to their shoulder partner to share their favorite parts of this unit. Then,
have them turn to their scale and accurately mark their progress for the day.
Remind them to be truthful when recording this information. Inform them that we
will now take our Kahoot! Quiz on Native Americans. (5 minutes) (ESOL: 1, 2,
3, 4, 15) (UDL: 9.3, 8.1, 7.3)
10. Pass out individual iPads, and allow students to complete the quiz on their own at

the end of class. (7 minutes) (ESOL: 3, 1, 6) (UDL: 9.1, 7.3)
