  1. Multicultural Lesson Plan By Megan White

  2. INTASC Standards • INTASC Standard #2: Learning Differences: • The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable each learner to meet higher standards. • Brief Description: For this project, I found a cultural lesson plan and expanded on the original lesson plan to better explain the history of Christopher Columbus, and the true first Americans: Native Americans. • Rationale: To document my understanding of INTASC standard #2, Learning Differences, I have chosen a lesson plan the incorporated history, art and cultural to engage young children’s interest and help them understand and learn.

  3. INTASC Standards • INTASC Standard #10: Leadership and Collaboration • The teacher seeks appropriate leadership roles and opportunities to take responsibility for student learning, to collaborate with learners, families, colleagues, other school professionals, and community members to ensure learner growth, and to advance the profession. • Brief Description: For this project, I used a published lesson plan, and changed it slightly to serve the purpose I wanted for my future students. Then I emailed it to the rest of the class to share and collaborate with other future teachers. • Rationale: To document my understanding of INTASC standard #10, Leadership and Collaboration, I used a pre-existing lesson plan and then changed it to focus more on history, and then shared it with the other class members to collaborate.

  4. INTASC Standards • INTASC Standard #4: Content Knowledge: • The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content. • Brief Description: For this project, I found a cultural lesson plan and expanded on the original lesson plan to encourage the students to explain what the already know or believe first, then ask questions, and then discover the history of Christopher Columbus and the Native Americans. I also included hands on activities to increase the child’s understanding and mastery of the content. • Rationale: To document my understanding of INTASC standard #4, Content Knowledge, I remade a lesson plan to encourage the inquiry learning of students and mastery of the content.

  5. Indiana State standards SS.K.1 2007 - History Students examine the connections of their own environment with the past, begin to distinguish between events and people of the past and the present, and use a sense of time in classroom planning and participation. SS.K.3 2007 - Geography Students learn that maps and globes are different representations of the Earth's surface and begin to explore the physical and human geographic characteristics of their school, neighborhood and community. https://learningconnection.doe.in.gov/Standards/Standards.aspx?st=&sub=9&gl=165&c=0&stid=0

  6. The first Americans:Geography and History of America and Native Americanskindergarten

  7. Multicultural goals • Students will learn about the first Americans, Native American’s history and Native American tribes that still exists today. • Students will learn about Native American traditions, art, clothing, housing and heritage in general. • Students will learn Native American words that are incorporated in the English language today. • Students will create crafts resembling Native American art work or traditional clothing.

  8. Expected outcomes • Students will: • Learn beginning history of America and Native Americans. • Learn geography of the student’s state (example: Indiana), North America, and neighboring countries.

  9. Teaching/Learning Strategies: • Resources Needed:Maps, pictures, books, videos, physical artifacts/artwork, worksheets, coloring pages, crafting supplies. • Directions: • Step1: Find maps that can be related to the lesson. (Example: idea of Beringia, North America, Europe/Spain, Polynesia, Greenland, Iceland, and the state where the students current live such as Indiana.) This will help students explore and learn the history and geography of the country they live in. Step2: Read books or watch videos about the first Americans, European awareness of America, and Native Americans, explore pictures, music, art, clothing, housing, language of Native Americans. Introduce students to English words stemming from Native American languages. Step3: Allow students to complete worksheets that follow along with the lesson, color related coloring pages, andcreate crafts similar to Native American art or clothing.
