A-I will be teaching Native American History to my 3rd grade class. This class consists
of 11 girls and 9 boys, 21 children total. This class is 65% white, 20% African-American,
and 15% Hispanic. 5 students have mild ADHD.
S- By the end of a five day school week, my 3rd grade students will know Native
American History. They will learn this important information by working in groups to
create and present Native American projects. These projects will outline the importance
of the difference in Native American culture by introducing the children to different
foods, languages, song/dance, games, and ways of life. This will be completed with a
95% accuracy.
S- Method -Research will continue. As a class we will experience Music as it was known
to Native Americans. I will play a YouTube video that shows the difference between
today’s music/dance and that of Native Americans. I will encourage the children to
dance and enjoy the music. I will then introduce them to different types of Native
American games. They will be allowed to experience the different games through play
Media- Information during this lesson will be available on YouTube.com. I will also
create a QR code that will be posted to our class sites that link the children directly to
the video.
Materials – Materials for the games will be made available. I will have prepared different
games in advance for the children to experience.
U- I will prepare and explain all games to be used by children. The play of games will be
for educational reasons.
R- Participation will be required through viewing of the video, discussing music/dance,
and the involvement during the game time.
E- I will assess student learning by evaluating their group presentations. I will also
periodically evaluate my students based on participation during activities, and
involvement during class discussions.
