given a word banks without any error.

Procedures:

Introduction:
o I will begin the lesson by asking the students what they
think the following words mean: tribe, region, home,
occupation, and transportation.

o Once the students have a clear idea of what each word

means, I will ask them the following questions:
Do you think we can consider our family our

tribe?
What kind of homes do you think Indians lived

in?
What kind of homes do we live in now?
What do you think the word occupation means?
What kind of occupations do you think Indians

had?
Do you think the worked for money?
What does transportation mean?
In what ways to we travel today?
How do you think Indians traveled before cars

and buses?
Development:
o We will start by talking about the Powhatan Indians. We will
use visuals and talk about their regions (Eastern
Woodlands,) homes (wood frame houses with bark
coverings,) occupations (fishermen, hunters, and farmers,)
and transportation (walked and paddled canoes.)
o We will then talk about the Lakota Indians. We will use
visuals and talk about their regions (The Plains,) homes
(Teepees,) occupations (hunters and horsemen,) and
transportation (walked and used horses.)
o We will then talk about the Pueblo Indians. We will use
visuals and talk about their regions (Southwest,) homes
(Multi-story terraced buildings,) occupations (hunters and
farmers,) and transportation (walked.)

Summary:
o I will conclude this lesson with an activity. I will pass out
and explain the work sheet. The work sheet will include
five columns labeled the following: tribe, region, home,
occupation, and transportation. The worksheet will include
clues and the students will be responsible for filling out the
