Primary+Source+Lesson

Develop a lesson plan which includes at least two of the following three types of primary sources: documents, data, and political cartoons. You may want to review the Key Information from Topic 3-C for ideas on using political cartoons in different subject areas for additional ideas. Consider the following questions in your plan: Post your lesson plan to the wiki in the space provided by your instructor. Provide feedback to at least one of your peers through a comment on their wiki page. (Individual Assignment Rubric)
 * What method will students use to analyze the document(s), data and political cartoon(s)? (SEA or NARA worksheet)
 * Will your students use a graphic organizer like a KWL chart or Venn diagram?
 * What final product will your students create, if any?
 * How will your activity promote critical thinking skills?
 * How will this lesson integrate with the rest of your curriculum?


 * __Primary Source Lesson Plan__ **
 * Essential Question: What impact did European education of the conquered people have on those native peoples? What can we learn from these events to inform our policies in Afghanistan or Iraq?**
 * Objectives:**
 * Read and analyze a primary source document and data.
 * Make connections between the lives of the natives in LaPaz, Mexico as portrayed in John Steinbeck's novel //The Pearl// and in Victoria, British Columbia as portrayed in Margaret Craven's novel //I heard the Owl Call My Name// and the Carlisle Indian School.
 * Make connections between history, fiction, and current events.


 * Materials:**
 * NARA worksheet for a documents
 * SEA for Cartoon analysis
 * Mobile cart with a computer for each student
 * Novels: //The Pearl, I Heard the Owl Call My Name//
 * Websites
 * Moodle forum


 * Procedure:** Students will work in groups of 3 for this project. Roles will be assigned
 * //**Document Analysis**//: [|Congressional investigation of Carlisle Indian School] This site is the transcript of the hearings investigating problems at the Carlisle Indian School. These problems point out many of the issues related to the conflict between the Natives and the English educators.
 * [|THE INDIAN HELPER] This is a copy of a weekly newsletter that was created by the Indian boys at Carlisle Indian School. Students will need to be aware that this is written by students but edited by "the man on the bandstand who isn't an Indian."
 * //**Cartoon Analysis**//: [|Now School Begins]
 * Since we have already read //The Pearl// and are at the section in //IHTOCMN// where the elders are talking about their concerns about the effect of the English education on their young and ultimately on their culture, students will make connections between the document, the cartoon and the novels. Each group will create a mind map using Inspiration software to demonstrate the similarities and differences that they observe.
 * As individuals, they will reflect on their discoveries and apply to current world events such as Afghanistan and Iraq. They will post their reflections to the Moodle forum and respond to on other student's posting (one not in their small group).

Students will be required to think critically about the relationships between the European settlers and the Native populations. They will analyze primary documents and make connections to their readings.
