Native American Units
By Janelle

I have done a good Native American Herritage Unit. Since I am from NC, I wanted my students to learn more about Native Americans from our state. YOu could pick what ever state you are from and form a list of the trives in
your state. I put them in groups of 4, and they chose a tribe or you can choose a tribe for them. They had to design two visuals about their tribe, write a 2 page essay about their tribe and they also had to do some sort of creative group presentation. Each part of the project was worth certain percentage. I would suggest somethign like 33% for each section, if you choose to do it

like th is. When I did this unit I was teaching Social Studies and Language Arts, so I would mix it up some. I read stories that were related to Native Americans in my LA classes and then during social studies time they would work on thier projects and we would pay close attention to the sections in the SS book that were related to the various tribes of NC. Hope this helps.
