Well, That Settles It! This TechTour has a Student View and Lesson Plans associated with it. Before the Vikings traveled the raging seas, before Columbus sailed the ocean blue, before the English settled the 13 colonies, there were Native Americans. During this TechTour, students will research the differences and similarities between the settlers of the 13 colonies and the Native Americans who were already living in those regions. Students will investigate the food, clothing, shelter, spirituality, and daily life of the Native American culture and of the European settlers. They will work in self-selected teams for the first part of this unit and individually for the remainder of the unit. As a team they will create concept maps, and as individuals their products will include an essay and PowerPoint slideshow to share with fellow students. All products will demonstrate understanding of the class Challenge Question. “Well That Settles It,” falls into the content of Social Studies. Students should have some background knowledge of both Native Americans and Early Settlers. Students should be able to navigate Web sites as well as extract significant information from text. Teachers should be able to set up and operate an LCD projector. Teachers should also have a good background in the use of PowerPoint and feel comfortable teaching their class how to create a slideshow.
