Lesson: The topic is Pre and Post Conquest Indian History in the Americas. This is meant to be taught in a 7-12 Social Studies classroom.

Ways to use the guide and material referenced on Page 2:

  • For learners who respond more to the written word and academic language they will respond very well to the laid out assignment since it is rich in text.
  • Students who are visually oriented may have difficulty with this assignment since its only visual aids are the timeslines in a list form. However, this can be substituted by assigning students to produce an image catalog for the significant persons and places they are researching.
  • Students who are kinesthetically oriented will have the most difficulty in learning this due to its lack of motion, however, this may be substituted by finding a suitable video to play in class.
