Necessary Prior and who settlers and Native Americans are. They would need to know that
Knowledge English settlers came to this country and settled here on the Native

Teacher prepares the reading slide and the Pocahontas worksheet:
● pencil
Materials ● scissors
● glue
● Pocahontas Fill In the Blank worksheet
I will gain the student’s attention by asking them if they have ever seen the
Disney movie “Pocahontas' ' and explain to them that that movie was based off
Introduction/Hook of a real person and today we are going to learn about the real life story of
Pocahontas.
1. Read the class a passage about Pocahontas from a google slides
presentation and on each page stop and ask the students to identify
important information that we should highlight

Instructional to take out their scissors and glue
Activities & 3. Instruct them to cut out the four words at the bottom and that we are
going to go over the questions as a class
Strategies 4. Go through each question and ask the students to raise their hand if they
think they know the answer
5. Once we have identified the correct answer, instruct the students to glue
that word into the correct blank

7. Then I will collect all the worksheets
8. Go to the next slide (on the slideshow being shared with the class) and
complete a quiz as a class to assess the students knowledge
9. Finally, ask the students if they have any remaining questions
Key Vocabulary or Indians and Native Americans, settlers, English, Jamestown, Powhatan,
peaceful relations.
Concepts
Verbal questioning/quiz: I will put a quiz on the board and I will ask each
Assessments question verbally and the students will have to answer. So, we will be going
through this quiz as a class to assess their knowledge.
The closure activity will be the assessment stated above, then we will discuss as
Closure Activity a class any questions that the students have.
For the special needs students, they have a seperate teacher who will help them
and they just need refocusing and rewards. Because we are doing this activity
Accommodations mostly as a class, there shouldn’t be any students finishing early or falling
behind, so that will not be an issue.
I got the book and the worksheets from my internship teacher as a
recommendation of what she would have done.
