Content Connections:
Students have been working
on their Lenni Lenape wigwam that they began construction on earlier in
the week. Students are going to continue to gather information on
the Lenni Lenape and will prepare their own power point presentations.
Students will present an oral presentation of both their Lenni Lenape village
and their power point slide show to other fourth grade classrooms later
in the week.
Instructional Materials:
paper, pencil, reference
materials on the Lenni Lenape Indians, computers with internet access and
Microsoft Office (for power point slide show)
Internet Websites on the Lenni Lenape Indians:

Instructional Procedures:
* Discuss Lenni Lenape village
- What is included in the village?
- What will the village look like?
* Review information about
the wigwam and what to include in the presentation
- Why are the wigwams used?
- What are they made from?
- How did we make our own replica wigwams?
* Continue locating information
on the Lenni Lenape and the wigwam using both reference materials and the
internet (websites listed above)
* Take notes on pertinent
information gathered to include in the power point presentation
* Create power point slide
presentation
* Begin practicing for oral
presentations
Evaluation Strategies:
Because today's lesson will
reflect the success of students' oral presentation, they will be graded
today on the information that they collect and on their contribution to
the class presentation. All students will be participating in the
lesson. The presentation later in the week will showcase the effort
and understanding the students have gained from this lesson.
Follow-Up Activities:
Enrichment: Students will give an oral presentation to other
fourth grade classrooms (also studying the Lenni Lenape Indians) concerning
their Lenni Lenape wigwams using their constructed village and their power
point presentations.
