will read the information together and then work on them

individually. Students will color and then cut out their

headdresses. They will then glue them into a wearable

headdress.

9. Closure: Discuss key concepts of what makes a hero as

well as some of the different Native American heroes.

G. Assessment:

To assess the students understanding I will have them

journal about the lesson. They will be asked to write a few

sentences about their favorite hero, and must include at least four

pieces of information they learned from the lesson.

I will know whether the students understand the concepts

taught to them by observing them while doing the lesson and bywhat they write in their journals.
