SUMMARY

This Common Core-aligned reading lesson kicks off this family-centered reading lesson series. The lesson arc follows a grandchild who visits Grandmother’s house. Your students follow in the footsteps of the grandchild on their visit.

Technology required

The teacher (or student, if learning at home) will need a computer, phone or tablet with an Internet connection to play the game. The game required plays on Windows or Mac computers and on iPad and Andorid tablets.

Lesson Plan

1. Reading

In this first lesson, students will read a passage from Ohiye S’a/Charles Alexander Eastman’s book, Indian Boyhood. Students will read and analyze the excerpt, immerse themselves in Native American adventure, and then answer a short, multiple choice quiz for formative assessment (the PDF quiz is three questions. If you need more, you can edit the DOCX file to add more of your own).

Idea: You can customize the lesson as you see fit. As an example, indigenous communities experience close relationships with their grandmothers and look up to them as keepers of tradition and the old ways. You can customize the lesson setting, themes as needed.

DOCX Version – Editable.

PDF Version – Ready to go.
