This lesson was developed as part of the San Diego Unified School District's Triton Project , a federally funded Technology Innovation Challenge Grant . Our intent with this unit of study is to allow students a means to explore the Native American tribes from the social studies text in a unique format. The internet can often provide more information than what is available in the text in a fun and interesting way.
Students are able to learn in depth about one specific tribe.
As the outcome, expect a final product that would demonstrate their understanding of the Native American lifestyle. This unit correlates with the third grade social studies curriculum about Native Americans. It can be adapted for grades 2-4. This unit also incorporates language arts, fine arts, and computer technology. The main objective of this unit is for the students to utilize the internet to research a Native American tribe.
