Why you are teaching this? (Must align with the 5 elements of powerful social studies)
Thinking Like A Historian: Investigating Waterford
Meaningful: In this activity, the students will be looking at various artifacts to examine, determine, and understand why history happened and how it has affected this now city. This is a town located only a few hours or so from Grand Rapids, which will not
only catch their attention when they see how close we are on the map but also allow a real-world connection. We can use Google Maps to look at what the town looks like now after our investigation. Real-life connections. Students will examine the relationships between the Native Americans, the British, and the French.
Value-Based: Students are asked to examine relationships and think about how this would affect not only history, but the communities that exist in history.
Students will be asked, as a whole class, to create a timeline of Michigan history and all the different groups we have learned about.
Challenging: Students are asked to work as a whole group, with 28 other opinions, to identify and piece together the timeline of all previous lessons.
Students will create a flow chart of the French settlers.
Active: As a group, students will be cutting and constructing a graphic organizer: use of manipulatives and group participation.
Students will create a clips video, talking about a specific group of people that have influenced Michigan’s history.
Integrative: This lesson draws on students’ technology skills, as well as drawing on their literacy skills as they will write a script for themselves.
Stage 2: Assessment/Evidence: 1. Prior Knowledge: -Students have been learning about Regions Michigan Belongs To -Map Skills -Communities -Government
-Skills in clips 2. Pre-Assessment: Seeing Student Thinking: -After working through Seeing Student Thinking, I have decided to use a lot of different resources to help us learn about each group. I was really excited that the students felt that they could use all 5 of my tools to learn about other people. Instead of just online resources and articles, I want the students to really explore the different groups that are a part of Michigan’s history. For example, I am going to try to find arrowheads and physical maps for the students to examine. I would also like to find old pictures. The idea of allowing students to use a social imagination to discover will lead to a memorable and hands on unit. -I am planning to begin the unit with an introduction of what is history and why it is important that we look at history. I realized how important it is for me start with the basics, to help the students understand why we are learning about Michigan’s history, to get them excited. These students have never spent much time with social studies so it is important to give them a baseline. I think this introduction lesson will be a great way to get their feet wet and get their brains in social studies mode! 3. End-of-Unit Performance Task: Students, as a whole group, will create a large timeline poster of Michigan History. They will have major events placed on a timeline with the details listed below. As a whole group they will have to think about what the main important events are that we have learned about, the order of history, and how they are all linked together. They will be able to use their resources to help them put their ideas onto the paper. They will work as a group so they can feed off of each other and debate what counts as important.

Lesson objective:
Students will be able to use oral language to explain the importance of history and how we can learn about history. Big powerful Ideas: -History, the study of the past, is important to learn and understand because it affects our daily lives. Essential Question: How do historians learn about the past? Steps/Procedure: Time (in Minutes):
Steps:
10 minutes
*group meeting in the living room* “When you hear the word history, what comes to mind? I would like you to think for a few seconds in your head, and then we’re going to share out.” *as students share out ideas or thoughts, have them write down their ideas on poster board titled “what is history?”* *i will write if students are not comfortable* *discuss how these ideas are related to each other* “In this next social studies unit, we are going to be learning about the history of Michigan and the first people who lived in Michigan. But first, let’s discuss why and how we study history.”
15 minutes
“In your folders, you have a graphic organizer titled “History”, let’s fill this out and dig into how to investigate history to learn more” *together go through graphic organizer*
Closing: 5 minutes: “After today, who can tell me why history is important and ways that we can learn more about history?” *think-pair-share*
*wait for at least 3 responses to whole group* *promote student to student talk* “So boys and girls, as you can see, history tells us all about the past. And we’re going to find out that what happened in the past has a big influence on how we live our lives today through each of these different sources that we talked about!” “Let’s hear a few predictions on what you think we will find out about Michigan’s history! And after we finish this unit we can come back and see if our predictions were accurate!” *writes ideas down on paper as exit slip* “Tomorrow we will start our investigation into Michigan’s early years!” Academic/Social/Linguistic Supports for individual students.

Steps:
5 minutes:
“I would like everyone to put on their detective hats, today we are going to become historians. We are going to look at clues from the past to figure out what happened in the history of a town called Waterford. Has anyone ever heard of Waterford? *waits for hands* “Well, as you can see on this map of Michigan, Waterford is located near Detroit so it’s only a few hours from Grand Rapids! We are going to look at different different sources to help us understand more about this town when it was first founded”
10 minutes
*project map on ELMO* Students will have an analysis chart in front of them asking “what, when, natural features, human features, any confusion on the source”.
“What is this that is up on the board?” *wait for response of students saying it is a map, together all fill out the first part of the chart* “Today you are going to continue looking at this map and seeing what other clues you can find” *go through what they are asking on the other parts of the chart* “You have 10 minutes on your own to go through this chart to find other clues that this map can tell us about the town of Waterford. After those 10 minutes are up, we are going to share as a group, if you want to work with a table partner that is okay just make sure you are on task!” 10 minutes *allow 10 minute work time* 5 minutes *Share out, fill out chart*
15 minutes
“Next, we are going to be reading this article that will tell us important information about the beginning of Waterford. As I read this aloud, I would like you to highlight or underline anything important you see. Remember we are looking for evidence” *read through article, fill out chart on “what, when, who, why”*
15 minutes
Look at clue #3, 4, 5, as they are projected on the ELMO On board jot down different clues students notice as important
5 minutes CLOSING: “After investigating all these different resources, we know that the event, or main thing we were looking at, is the founding of a town called Waterford. Let’s look into some causes and effects of the town growing and developing over history. I would like you and your table group to look at all your information you have gathered and tell me some important things that happened and what the effects of those events were on the town” 5 minutes *allow 5 minutes for groups to come up with their ideas and conclusions* “Now historians, tell me about some changes and what caused these changes as we fill out these charts together” 5 minutes
*fill out chart together as whole group* 2 minutes
“As you can see friends, we found all this information out just by investigating and looking at different sources such as maps, timelines, and articles. Throughout this unit we are going to continue looking into different parts and groups in Michigan and seeing what we can learn about the past.”

Steps/Procedure: Time (in Minutes):
Steps:
5 minutes:
“Once again, I would like everyone to put on their detective hats, today we are going to become historians. We are going to look at clues from the past to learn more about Native Americans, the first group of people to settle in Michigan.” “Who can tell me what they know about Native Americans and their effect on Michigan’s history?” *wait for hands, take 3-5 responses* “We’ll today we are going to look through artifacts to see what new information we can learn about today about Native Americans. After we look at these artifacts, we are going to read through an article “The Three Fires”. As you follow along with this article, I want you to think about how the artifacts relate or explain more about the Native
Americans and what the article is telling us. We’re going to dig deeper and see what we can find out about the first people in Michigan” 10 minutes
* Look through clue #1 of arrowhead* “What does this look like? What these be used to do?, etc” *allow for discussion* *look through clue #2 of hills* “This is probably telling us about where they lived.. Let’s think about that..” *discussion* *Look through clue #3* *Allow discussion on pottery and other tools we observe*
5 minutes

20 minutes
“Now, as we read through “The Three Fires” I want you to think about these tools, pictures, and drawings that we just examined. Think of how these stories could involve the tools or how we could make some connections. Take notes on the side of the article and each table will share out at the end of the reading” *read through “The Three Fires” , vary between echo reading and choral reading*
“Now with your seat partner, I would like you to brainstorm and tell me one fact about each group (so three groups) that we learned about today. You can share your ideas either through either See-saw, Clips, or Pages. Remember to go back and look through your papers for help.” “Who can tell me what your job is?”
*circulate during work time, give reminders on time remaining. Will have timer set in front of classroom to keep students on track*
Closing: “Now that everyone has submitted their work, let’s hear 3 ideas from 3 different groups that they shared in their work! I will be watching them later and sharing some of them throughout this unit to help remind us of the first people in Michigan!” *wait for 3 ideas to be shared*
