03.02.03: Plains Indians: An Interdisciplinary Unit of Study. I participated in the seminar on Everyday Life in Early America. Currently, the New Haven Curriculum for first grade includes the study of Native Americans, and their beliefs, institutions, ideals, traditions, and conflicts. However, it is not developed extensively and does not include sufficient resources, goals, objectives or rationale for such a study.
The Social Studies curriculum is in draft form and does not offer a significant amount of support or a detailed outline of instruction. This seminar on everyday life in early America is the perfect opportunity to merge my newly gained insights and knowledge with the open-ended curriculum and interdisciplinary studies. This seminar and its topics of discussion has increased my preparation and added to my personal background knowledge of Early America. The unit is rich in literature and illustrations, utilizing seminar discussions and children's fiction and nonfiction literature relating directly to Native Americans.
