Native American Unit for Special Education

Description

This unit on Native Americans available with DIGITAL activities included. Click HERE.

Native American Unit contains over 50 pages of material specifically designed for students with special learning needs, especially autism. This unit on Native Americans addresses the lives of Native Americans during colonial times in a simplified but rigorous way for students with diverse learning needs to make meaningful and authentic connections to the material whether learning about tools, natural resources, or crafts. There are many opportunities for students to engage in repeated information on the lives of Native Americans. This repetition encourages true appreciation of the lives of Native Americans. Finally, many of the Native American activities and assessments include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation and options for presentation.

This is a great companion to my Colonial America unit (see link below) or for Thanksgiving.

Much of what I have learned about curriculum development is incorporated in these units. For example, do not be afraid of repetition. It is critical that students with significant disabilities get to experience material over several days to be able to fully assimilate what is being taught. Also, adding visual supports to your printables and class activities helps students be able to pay more attention to the content you are presenting rather than the mechanics of what is expected. Finally, ask questions. Good questions!! Even when learning about Native Americans, we can ask students questions that will push them to think more deeply than before.

♥As always please take a moment to leave feedback or post any questions you may have. Remember, you will gain credit toward future purchase on tpt as you leave more and more feedback!!

♥I am currently developing more units, and any feedback I get helps me make improvements in the future.
