Thirteen steps make up a lesson that challenges pupils to compare and contrast the daily lives of Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe. Learners revisit the Graffiti Wall then break into small groups for an investigative reading assignment in which participants gather information, discuss their findings, and complete a Venn diagram. Scholars look further into the Wampanoag culture then complete a multiple-choice quiz.

  • Requires copies of handouts, art supplies, and devices with internet access

Pros
