Lesson Plan: Early History of Northeastern Native Americans

The following is a lesson plan on the early history of Northeastern Native Americans. The lesson is a subunit of a unit plan on the entire history of the Northeast.  This plan connects to state standards as well as the National Council for Social Studies themes and subthemes. The lesson plan utilizes the textbook Harcourt Social Studies: States and Regions.  The lesson plan includes "teacher talk" that narrates a PowerPoint presentation (which is also embedded below). Students will research a Native American tribe and record their findings on a graphic organizer (which is included in the embedded plan). Students will then transform their findings into a poster and present to the class.  The students will also participate in a class KWL, which will take them through the whole unit. Included is the lesson plan and downloadable slides.
