Reading:
I
will use this book as a read aloud when introducing both biographies and the Wild
West unit in Social Studies. This lesson
will be an integrated lesson with the social studies unit. I will also use a video and other material to
model for the students the different ways to do research and learn more about their
topic. Art materials will also be incorporated
with the lesson. The students will draw
inferences from the art presented and discuss their findings.
Writing and Speaking:
Students
will create a unique presentation using multimedia and/or technology. The students will do some research on Bass
Reeves and other important black Americans during the Wild West period. The student’s presentation can be anything
from a rap song to a PowerPoint. The
students will choose this outlet and let their creativity shine.
