|nations and peoples. |song “The Heart of the Appaloosa,” a song that describes the |
| |displacement of the Nez Perce with settlers. Then, students will |
| |read and take notes about the groups that have settled the |
| |West—railroads, miners, ranchers, and homesteaders—and the Native |
| |Americans’ reactions to them. Finally, students apply their |
| |learning in a processing assignment. |
| | |
| |Recommended changes to HA! lesson plan |
| |I would skip the experiential exercise and music video project |
| |noted in the HA lesson guide. These take a lot of time which you |
| |will likely not have at the end of the year. Instead, pick |
| |supplemental videos, clips, songs, and literature noted in the |
| |section on additional background building. |
| | |
| |In Beyond the Oregon Trail, Lesson 6: Closed Doors, Close Minds: |
| |Asian Exclusion in Oregon (pg. 53-67), students learn a brief |
| |history about the migration of various groups to Oregon and their |
| |contributions. Students also learn about the early exclusion of |
| |Chinese and Japanese people in Oregon, as well as Japanese |
| |Internment during World War II. However, as World War II is |
| |covered extensively in high school, and we are only teaching up |
| |through 1900, you might focus more on the experience and |
| |contributions of Chinese and Japanese immigrants up until 1900. |
| |(Koreans and Filipinos did not move to Oregon until the early |
| |1900s). |
| | |
| |Since the text is inaccessible at an independent reading level for|
| |many ELL students and students reading below grade level, I had to|
| |read most sections of most chapters aloud. |
| | |
| |Helpful supplements include: A Young People’s History of The |
| |United States, Beyond the Oregon Trail, Discovery Streaming, etc. |
| |I’ve included an extensive list of video, song, movie, |
| |mini-series, and literature links in the “background building” |
| |section. |
| | |
| |If you’re in a time crunch at the end of the year, you can have |
| |students read the chapter summary at the end of the book, instead |
| |of the whole chapter, and show a video or two from the list |
| |provided under additional background building. |
