Then zoom out to see the city, point out the city. Zoom out to see all of
Florida. Point out the capital of Florida (Tallahassee) in relation to
where the school is. Zoom out slowly to view the United States.
(ESOL/ESE accommodation: visual)

relation to the school and to Florida. Ask students if any of them had
been born in a different state. Point out several students hometowns on
the map. Using the globes on tables and raised relief physical maps,
look at the same areas. With a partner, have students find these same
places we found on Google Earth.
Identify North, South, East, and West and the different regions of the
United States. Notice how the regions have different kinds of
topography (mountain ranges, valleys, marshes)
4. Ask questions like:
Ex. If a Native American Tribe lived in these mountain ranges, how do
you think they could survive?
Ex. This land is very flat and swampy, do you think a Native American
Tribe could have lived here? Why?
Activity: (25 min)
1. Tell students we will be breaking up into Native American Tribes, and
each of them will be part of one. Break class up into Iroquois, Chinook,
Cherokee, Navajo, Nez Perce, and Sioux tribes.
2. Have students pick a chief for their tribe (this student will be the leader
3.

of tribe)
3. Pass out the Native American Name worksheet (attached). Read over
the directions and model how you would pick your own name. Give
students 5 minutes to create their own name and symbol.
4. Students will make and decorate a nameplate with their new Native
American name and symbol on it.
5. Pass out 3 pieces of colored paper to each student. Show them how to
create a flip book by modeling it for them, then showing them the
finished product on the doc cam. Have them write the name of each
tribe on each piece of paper to keep all their facts organized and in one
spot. ESOL/ESE accommodation: flip book serves as graphic organizer
for simplicity)
6. Show students the wall map of the United States at the front of the
room. This will be the class mural that we will add to each day. Each
region will have a tribe name and QR code on it. (QR codes attached)
