Objective:
Students will be able to generate a list of questions they want answered about the pilgrims.
Public Notes:
Begin by hanging two pieces of chart paper on the chalkboard. Label the first sheet "What we know about the pilgrims." Label the second sheet "What we want to learn." Have the students raise their hands and tell you the things they know or think they know about the Pilgrims. List all items on the first piece of chart paper. On the second piece of chart paper have the students generate a list of things that they want to learn about the Pilgrims. (For example: "Why they came?" "How many came?" "What kind of <a style="text-decoration: none; border-bottom-color: currentColor; border-bottom-width: medium; border-bottom-style: dotted;" href="http://ie.surfcanyon.com/search?f=sl&q=clothes&partner=wtiieusf" target="scSearchLink">clothes</a> they wore?" "What they ate?" etc.) At the end of the mini-unit take out the third piece of chart paper and hang it on the chalkboard. Label the third sheet "What we have learned about the Pilgrims". Have the students name all the things they have learned about the Pilgrims throughout the unit. List these items on the chart paper. Then take out the first two pieces of chart paper and compare them to the new list the class has just generated. Lead a discussion on all the things the students have learned and what misconceptions were cleared up during the unit.
