 * Students understand political and civic aspects of unity and diversity in Maine, the United States, and the world including Maine Native Americans.**

The students will understand the importance of Native Americans to the United States and research the impact of their existence, along with what some Native American tribes have done to preserve their culture in today’s society.
 * Rationale:**

__**Assessment**__
Individually, students will receive a [|blank map] of the United States and use the internet to help them label the areas of Native American Tribes. The blank U.S. Map will serve as a good pre assessment, as I will have them list what they may know about Native Americans in different regions of the United States. This will help them be able to visualize the locations of Native Americans throughout the U.S. Students will have the chance to compare maps with their peers after to help each other understand the locations of various Native American Tribes.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

For assessment, students will create a virtual tour using Google Earth to exhibit their knowledge of location and information pertaining to various Native American Tribes in the United States. In this project, students will have the option to pair up and combine information on the tribes. Each pair will be assigned a certain region of the country in which they will research the major tribes of that region. For presentation, they will show the tour to the rest of the classroom and at each stop on their tour report out information that they have gathered on the tribe of that area.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__

 * Technology**-The students will be asked to create a virtual tour using the Google Earth software provided as a free download on each students laptops via the internet. This will help get the students familiar with the workings of an advanced tool that has many uses in the classroom.


 * Mapping**- Mapping is a tool that is used in math, social studies and areas of engineering. Having this skill is useful as it familiarizes yourself with what is around you. Rather than just looking up a location on a page in an atlas, Google Earth give the user the ability to get up close and personal with virtually any location in the World. It is also equipped with a 3D image tool which is very useful and lifelike.

__Groupings__
While filling out the blank U.S. map in the beginning of the lesson, students will work independently or in pairs. The Google Earth activity will involve small groups during which I will use the card dealing technique to organize.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__
Visual/Spatial **Students may create a tour of a time line of important events through history involving Native Americans, and visit those locations. Intrapersonal **Students will be able to spend one on one time getting familiar with Google Earth. ** Interpersonal **Students will be able to converse with others about the history of Native Americans during the map activity and Google Earth assessment. ** Naturalist ** Students can see 3D images of locations of Native American Reservation on Google Earth.
 * Strategies**-These intelligences will be addressed:
 * Logical/Mathematical **Students will be able to map out using latitude and longitude to view points on Google Earth. **
 *  Bodily/Kinesthetic **You may choose to volunteer to do the actual setting up of the virtual tour on Google Earth. **

//**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.**// If absent from class for any reason, you are responsible for contacting me or a classmate to make up the work as soon as possible. There will be a folder in the back of the classroom with all handouts and assignments pertaining to the lesson for your access. It is your responsibility to get the work you missed and contact me so that we can arrange another way of handing in the work.
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

Students will use Google Earth software to create a virtual tour to visit areas of importance in Native American history. These points may be reservations or other areas of importance.

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
Rationale:** In this lesson students will be able to examine the sites of Native American Reservations throughout the nation, as well as locating important landmarks and locations. Through doing some independent research on the internet, the students will fill out the blank U.S. map to guide them visually in the discovery of important places for Native Americans. I will provide a lecture that will be engaging providing facts about various Native American tribes, their locations, and how they lived. To help enforce learning, the students will have the opportunity to create a Google Earth virtual tour in which they will have control over which areas of importance they would like to focus on and present.
 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//

Rationale:** The focus of the lesson is to provide the students with knowledge of the earliest settlers to the United States. I feel that incorporating technology like the use of Google Earth will be beneficial to the students because not only will they just hear me talk on some of these locations, but they can map out the areas and actually get up close and personal with a current and historic view of that very site.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//

Rationale:** Visual/Spatial **Students may create a tour of a time line of important events through history involving Native Americans, and visit those locations. Intrapersonal **Students will be able to spend one on one time getting familiar with Google Earth. ** Interpersonal **Students will be able to converse with others about the history of Native Americans during the map activity and Google Earth assessment. **<span class="wiki_link_ext"> Naturalist ** Students can see 3D images of locations of Native American Reservation on Google Earth.

 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//

For assessment, students will create a virtual tour using Google Earth to exhibit their knowledge of location and information pertaining to various Native American Tribes in the United States. In this project, students will have the option to pair up and combine information on the tribes. For presentation, they will show the tour to the rest of the classroom and at each stop on their tour report out information that they have gathered on the tribe of that area.

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
Day 1- Students will enter the classroom and sit at their normal seats. I will introduce the discussion of Native Americans by asking the students what they know about Native Americans. If they are aware of many of the realistic aspects of Native American culture, then I will discuss with them common stereotyping and ask them for stereotypes of Native Americans. Write what the students say on the board. I will introduce Google Earth to the classroom by demonstrating how it works, using locations of students houses, or other landmarks in the community as examples (15-20 mins.) Hand out the blank U.S. maps and allow students to pair up with each other and go online to find locations of major Native American tribes throughout Maine and the United States. (20-25 mins.) Assign students groups by taking four cards of each suit out of a deck of cards. Allow the students to pick a card and after, get them to group up with the others that are in their suit. Explain the assignment which will be to map some of the locations they found on their worksheet and map them using Google Earth, and create a tour of these locations. Inform them that they must be prepared to present some information on each "stop" of their tour, explaining why they chose it and note its significance.

Day 2- Give students the entire class period the complete the virtual tour and research.

Day 3- The entire class period will be designated to putting finishing touches to the virtual tour and presentations.

Students understand that the Native Americans were the original and still are a major cultural group in U.S. history. It is important for citizens of the U.S. to understand this because the Native Americans were the first people to populate the United States, and It is important to remember those who came before us. Students will understand political and civic aspects of unity and diversity of Maine, the U.S. and the world including Maine Native Americans. I will demonstrate how Google Earth works by opening it up on the projector and actually showing them an overview of how the program works.
