Learning Plan

Background:

  • Students can describe the major pre-Columbian settlements, including the cliff dwellers and pueblo people of the desert Southwest, the American Indians of the Pacific Northwest, the nomadic nations of the Great Plains, and the woodland peoples east of the Mississippi River.
  • Students trace the routes of early explorers and describe the early explorations of the Americas.
  • Students have read the historical fiction novel, The Witch of Blackbird Pond to help build background knowledge.
  • Teacher has modeled how to construct an evidence-based response.
  • Topic/Restate Sentence
  • Provide Answer
  • Cite Evidence
  • Justify Evidence
  • Students may comment to ask teacher or peers specific questions about requirements when citing evidence/quoting accurately.

Activities:

  • For this lesson plan, I will be focusing on Task #3 Task #4, and Task #5  (two to three days) in the Colonial America HyperDoc
  • Students will use the information they have gathered from the video clips and the three articles they have read. (Task #1 and Task #2) They will share the most important and relevant details on one of three different Padlets that are linked within the HyperDoc.

New England Colonies

Middle Colonies

Southern Colonies

  • Once students have shared important details, they will connect with their triad and begin organizing the important information into the Thirteen Colonies Matrix that they will be collaborating on. Students will have to decipher where the information belongs.

Formative Assessment:

  • Every student will be required to post at least one piece of information on one of the three Padlets. Many students will post more. I will allow repeats to ensure everyone has the opportunity to post.
  • Students will then go to the Google Form linked in the HyperDoc to share their one piece of important information here. This will be a quick way for me to ensure they understand the information accurately and are able to communicate their information in a clear manner.
