Juneau Indian Studies Elementary Curriculum Guide. Grades K-5.
Cadiente, Ronalda
Designed to provide instruction in Tlingit culture as an integral part of the K-5 social studies curriculum, this guide presents teachers with extensive lesson plans and numerous resource materials. The units of study focus on the culture and environment of southeast Alaska and emphasize experiential learning activities. Each grade level--kindergarten through fifth--begins with an overview of the units and the social studies concepts dealt with. A summary of each unit follows with a day-by-day outline of lesson plans and the knowledge and skills taught or reinforced. Next come detailed, sequential lesson plans and illustrated handouts for students. Kindergarten units relate to the social studies concepts of one's self and one's surroundings and introduce students to the subsistence lifestyle of a Tlingit fish camp and the importance of the salmon as a food source. First grade units look more closely at the forest environment surrounding the fish camp. Second graders learn about community by constructing a Tlingit Winter House. Third graders host a potlatch and are introduced to Alaska's cultural diversity. Fourth graders develop understanding of Alaskan history by learning about items traded by the Tlingits and Athabaskans. Fifth graders learn more about trade and respect for natural resources. (JHZ)
