**Title:** Native American Tribes **Subject:** Social Studies **Author:** Valerie Newman **Grade Level:** 2nd grade

**Overview:**

Students will spend the week learning about the Navajo and Pueblo Native American tribes by doing different activities every day.

**Objectives**:

Using the links provided and the interactive website, students will comprehend the differences between the two Native American tribes. Using the SmartBoard, we will apply the differences between the two tribes together as a class. Students will evaluate what the differences and similarities are between the tribes by reading the passages and watching the movie. Students will then produce a craft that correlates to the Native American culture. Students should be able to answer 3 out of the 4 questions on each worksheet and be able to write down at least 7 out of the 10 required notes from the movie.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive; font-size: 110%;">Students had a great time this week doing the activities. The only thing that students struggled with was the readings. Some students took longer than others, but when we discussed the similarities and differences using the Venn Diagram, all the students seemed to participate and understand all the information about the two tribes.
