TC Name: Kelsie Meyer Unit date range: 11/14 - 11/18 Supervisor: Cory Mathieu
Grade/level: 5th Grade SS Language: English School and CT: Andersen; Lindsay Brooks
Instructional Context
What do I know about my students and their communities that will inform this unit or lesson? (prior academic learning, everyday experiences, interests, cultural backgrounds)
Students have spent the past two months researching different aspects of indigenous resistance such as the Dakota Access Pipeline, Boarding Schools, Treaty Rights, and the Dakota
Memorial Ride. Students are also preparing to do mask and shadow puppet performances related to these different types of resistance. Many of the students in this classroom community
are latino/a and have native american heritage and therefore will see that much of these stories of resistance relate heavily to ones experienced by their families or ancestors. I know that my
students are very interested in drawing and prefer that to writing a paper, so I am going to take that into consideration as I plan the subsequent parts of the activities and the types of
assessment that I provide.

How does this lesson connect with and build on the previous lesson(s)?

Now that students have been exposed to many different types of indigenous resistance, the gear is switching from different stories of indigneous resistance to their stories of resistance. The
goal is to apply all of the different types of feelings, emotions, reactions that they have learned about in the past two months, to their own lives. Not necessarily on such a grand level, but by
simply making a personal connection to the content.

Stage 1 Desired Results (Unit Level)

Established Goals: (standards)
CC 5.4.2.3: Historical events have multiple causes and can lead to varied and unintended outcomes.
CC 5.4.1.2: Historical inquiry is a process in which multiple sources and different kinds of historical evidence are analyzed to draw conclusions about how and why things happened in the past.
CC 5.6.3.3: Write narratives and other creative texts to develop real or imagined experiences or events using effective technique, descriptive details, and clear event sequences.

Understandings: Students will understand that Essential Questions:

Students will understand that historical events and the evidence obtained from those events In what ways can we use narratives to illustrate events in history?
can lead to different conclusions. How do we experience resistance in our lives?
Students will understand that they can connect ideas of indigenous resistance to resistance in How can resistance be both positive and negative?

Objectives (students will be able to)
Content objectives Language objectives
Students will use the simple past tense to describe an example of resistance they have
experienced in their own lives, using the vocabulary "story of resistance, overcome, impact,
and narrative."
SWBAT explain a historical event from multiple perspectives.
SWBAT analyze multiple causes and outcomes of a historical event. Students will use the language chunks "In my perspective..., In my opinion...," and
SWBAT write a narrative about their own form of resistance as it relates to the theme of comparative language such as "if/then, but, therefore" to explain and justify different outcomes

Students will use sequential language to describe the steps in creating their masks, utilizing
the vocabulary mask, paper mache, construction paper, strips, characters, decorate, etc.
Stage 2 Assessment Evidence
(include how assessments will be differentiated to meet specific needs (IEPs, etc.) if necessary)
Summative performance task(s): Other formative assessments:
 - Analysis of different types of personal resistance (ex. Ilhan Omar and Julie from HOTB's
father)
Google Draw or Docs published writing sample - Graphic Organizer for writing personal narratives (option to draw first for specific students on
This Google Draw will come from their graphic organizer as a frame of reference. The outcome of this Google Draw IEP)
is furthermore one piece of work to go into a published book that the students are working on throughout the school
year. - Word bank/transition word/sentence frame sheet for lower EL's to help generate ideas.
- Ability to launch activity in small or large group depending on class atmopshere and number
of adults in the room.

Reflections and feedback
Students worked very well on a more individual level especially since they had play practice all morning and being couped up in the cafeteria is not the most ideal situation for kids.
What worked and for whom?
I think that the most helpful part of this lesson was having the key vocabulary with pictures as well as some different transitions available for students to use because they provided
Why?
a lot of useful language for the kids to use.

steps based on the data from

Ms. Lindsay was on a field trip with another class and therefore we were down to two teachers instead of three, having that extra teacher comes in handy when trying to answer all
of the questions!
Students were recieving immediate feedback in this situation, from a lot of clarifying questions coming from me, which helped to guide their writing process. An extremely common
question I needed to emphasize was differentiating between the past and the present tense.
Tomorrow, students will continue to work on their google draw story of the mask and once they have finished or reached a sufficient stopping point, we will transition into working
on one more writing project before break -- the story of their own resistance. This will start tomorrow with some students, and those who are still in the process of working will
continue to work on their mask story.
