Product description

From the author

This product has everything you need to give your students a guided overview of Native American Tribes before European colonization in North America. I know, from experience, that this unit is very difficult for students to understand because of the vast number of tribes and information that the unit contains. This product includes a guided note activity to help the teacher go through the major tribes in North America and to have students write down information related to the presentation. Guided notes are instructor-prepared handouts that provide students with background information and standard cues with specifi c spaces to write key facts, concepts, and/or relationships during the lecture. Guided notes (GN) require students to actively respond during the lecture, improve the accuracy and effi ciency of students’ notetaking, and increase students’ retention of course content. GN can help organize and enhance lecture content in any discipline or subject area. - it is a research-based strategy that helps students learn and retain new information. This product includes a visually appealing PowerPoint presentation, a guided notes page for students, and tons of amazing visuals. The product also comes with a digital copy for students! Ready to use - no prep!
