//**Home Ways and School Ways **//


 * What method will students use to analyze the photos and posters? (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?


 * Unit:** I Heard the Owl Call My Name Sub-Unit: Education as Indoctrination/Assimilation
 * Grade Level** : 10th grade English
 * Objective** : Students will analyze photographs of the living conditions of Native Americans in their homes and in the Carlisle Indian School and a poster advertising a speech by Chief Josef.
 * Materials//://**
 * mobile cart with computers for each student
 * assignment with links posted in Moodle
 * digital versions of NARA forms for analyzing photos and posters
 * digital version of K-W-L chart for recording reflections on their findings from their analysis of the photos and posters.
 * digital version of Venn Diagram
 * Moodle forum

 **//POSTER://**  // 
 * [|Poster] advertising a live speech by Chief Josef of the Nez Perce tribe
 * PHOTOGRAPHS:** //
 * [|Photos of Carlisle Indian School]
 *  [|Photos of Native American teepee interior.]
 * Procedure**
 * 1) Using a laptop students will access the Moodle class and find the assignment which will include links to photos and poster and digital copies of the NARA forms for analyzing photos and posters, a digital K-W-L, and a digital Venn Diagram.
 * 2) Independently, each student will complete the K of a K-W-L chart recording what they know about the dwellings of Native Americans.
 * 3) With a partner, students will analyze the pictures in the links provided using the NARA form. When they have completed the analysis, they will together complete their K-W-L charts. They should come up with 5 questions that they would like to find the answers to based on what they have discovered in the photos.
 * 4) With a partner, students will analyze the poster using the NARA form. When they have completed the analysis, they reflect on how their prior knowledge was reinforced by the poster and photos and what new understanding they have developed. They will record their findings by completing the Venn Diagram.
 * 5) Students will reflect in their journals about their thoughts
 * about Native Americans and whether or not these images have made a change in those thoughts.
 * How did they change?
 * What will this change look and sound like in their thinking going forward?
 * How does this thinking change their thinking about people who are different from them?


 * Assessment **
 * Observation of students working together
 * Completion of K-W-L, NARA forms, and Venn Diagram
 * Completion of journal reflection
 * Observation of students interacting with each other.
