Lesson Objective
Students will learn basic information about the
Iroquois Native Americans.  Information will
include location, culture, religion, names of
the different tribes, and historical dates.  The
students will be able to make a brochure to
present a slide show to their fellow classmates
with the tribe assigned to the small groups.

Introduction

• The lesson will start with a KWL chart.  The
  teacher will get a large piece of paper to hang
  on the board.  The paper will be divided into 3
  parts Knowledge, Want to know, and learned. 
  Students will be asked by the teacher to give her
  information and any facts they know about Native
  Americans.  This will help the Teacher determined
  the level of information that the students
  already know about the Iroquois.

Introduction Contd

• The next step to the KWL chart is to ask the
  students for ideas about what they would like to
  learn.  The KWL chart will help motivate the
  students to learn the topic because they will
  feel connected due to the want to know part of
  the chart.

Information

• The KWL chart will give the teacher a rough idea
  of what the students already know. The book The
  Rough-Face will open up the topic of Native
  Americans in the Central New York area. The book
  The Iroquois by Richard Gaines will be read to
  the class, this book will then be available for
  the student to look over and use during free
  read.  Another way that the teacher will be
  giving information is through a fact sheet that
  will be handed out after the KWL chart is
  completed and the book is read. The fact sheet
  will be attached.  Technology will be presented
  by watching a You Tube video on the Iroquois.

Practice

• The students will have prier knowledge to
  Microsoft Office, thus only a brief over view of
  the program will be needed to refresh the
  students on the basics of making a brochure.  The
  students will be broken into small groups so that
  all six nations are represented.  The students
  will then be sent to the library to look for more
  information about each groups tribe.   

7
Practice Contd

• The practice of gathering information through
  books, magazines, and other Medias (with help of
  librarian) will help the students have material
  for the brochure. The teacher will then meet with
  each group to work out what kind of information
  was provided, the students will help determined
  if the information they found will be enough to
  teach the class. Rubric and questions will be
  attached.

Knowledge of Results

• While the students are making the brochure, the
  teacher will watch and ask to have the students
  present the information to her before the
  information is presented to the class.  Thus
  allowing the students to have feed back on how
  the facts are coming along, as well as feed back
  on how the brochure looks. (fonts, back grounds,
  pictures, and set up). Written feed back will
  come at the end after the groups have presented
  and the rubric will be filled out and handed back
  to each student.

Review Activity

• I will end the lesson by having the students
  work together to fill in the L part of the chart
  (learned).  This will conclude the lesson and the
  teacher will then prompt the students to describe
  if they enjoyed the project or what they would
  like to change. 

10
Assessment

• The assessment would be a unit test with multiple
  choices about the different tribes and people
  that were involved with the Iroquois.
