Understanding by DesignChanging Faces on the American Frontier
English/ Social Studies Curriculum Unit PlanSubject Area: English and Social Studies Number of Days:30
Course/Grade Level:Grade 7 Unit Title: Changing Faces on the American Frontier Designer:
Lisa [email protected]
Unit Summary: In this unit, students will focus on the life stories and experiences of adolecents (age 9-20) on the frontier during the years of America’s westward expansion in the 19th Century. It will stress the use of primary source documents to reveal the experiences of typical adolecents within this historical time period contrasted with the experiences of adolecents in America today. Students will be able to compare and contrast the experiences of young people from several locations and cultural groups who were living on the expanding American frontier between Indiana and the west coast of North America. Students will research, discuss and address essential questions related to expectations for young poeple including child labor, gender equity, socioecenomic opportunities related to various cultural groups, and how personal choices and culture affect opportunities for an individual’s future.
Through the integration of Indiana and Common Core English Language Arts and History standards for Grade 7, students will read, write about, listen to, view and speak about primary and secondary sources documents to understand the opportunities and challenges of growing to adulthood in a changing land. Students will culminate their study of these historical artifacts by creating a project that will be part of a museum exhibit about the diversity of experiences on the frontier of the American West in the 19th Century. Students will read and write first person accounts which reflect a personal understanding of the challenges and opportunities of adolecents growing up during this time of rapid historical change.
Materials and Resources for Teaching the Unit:
Collection of non-fiction text at a variety of reading levels on the topic. Central to this unit is the annotated collection of resources collected as part of this ongoing
curriculum development project. The collection includes artifacts, primary and secondary source documents and related contemporary resources and trade books selected to aid middle grades learners in exploring historical questions through personal writings and historical fiction. Contact Lisa Faulkenberg, unit developer for details.

Possible considerations to differentiate declarative knowledge, including advanced content and materials for more capable learners or more appropriately accessible materials and content for struggling learners. Essential Questions and Understandings are not differentiated.
Within the collection of primary and secondary source materials, students will have a number of individuals to choose from as a focus. Some are very well documented and closer to students’ own experience. Others require more research and an ability to construct understanding from multiple resources and perspectives that may be very different than what students know already.
Primary and secondary source materials include text, visual, environmental, video and artifacts that help students gain declarative knowledge through a variety of learning modalities.
Use grammatical structures to convey meaning.
Possible considerations to differentiate skills, including advanced skills for more capable learners and more concrete and scaffolded skills for struggling learners. Essential Questions and Understandings are not differentiated.
Provide or encourage use of various primary and secondary sources with varying reading levels.
Use teacher and individual student/group process logs to document the process and progress being used by each student.
Give tiered questions/ learning activities, performance assessments that build on prior knowledge and understandings and prompt continued growth.
Offer flexible grouping based on the match of the task to student readiness, interest, learning style.
Provide time frames for completion of each section of a task.

WHow will you ensure that all students know where they are headed in the unit, why they are headed there, and how they will be evaluated?
“W” IdeasStudents will be introduced to the exemplars of PBA choices and related rubric early on. Regular whole group discussions will focus on the why and related questions and understandings.
H
How will you hook students at the beginning of the unit?
“H” Ideas: What can we learn from historical objects?
Day one will launch with a Primary source Bonanza with photographs, maps. Timelines. Journals, advertisements, etc. and a Gallery Walk (arranged by groups associated with the different locations and groups living on the frontier as organized in the annotated bibliography that accompanies this unit) to generate interest and informally assess background knowledge of students.Students like to tell their own stories and this introduction will allow for students to share in small groups, connections they find with some of the artifacts of the historical time period.
The compelling and authentic purpose and student opportunities for choice for the project will lend motivation as well.
E What events will help students experience and explore the big ideas and questions in the unit? How will you equip them with needed skills and knowledge?
“E1” IdeasEU1 Building on prior knowledge, with guest speakers, trade books, and video examples. E EU2 DESCRIBE strategy allows students to explore primary sources and develop a context for future study.EU3/EU4/ EU5 Interviews and Lit. Circles provide a way for students to share their own stories and related them to the historical accounts under study.EU6 Students use maps, and other artifacts to draw conclusions about places and times under study.EU7 Opportunities to assume a role and interact with others through reader’s theatre and writing assignments gives opportunities for students to defend historical decisions and here how others may look at similar circumstances very differently.EQ8 Mini lessons each day address new skill acquisition, (summarization, rich discussion,
12
writing in the workshop, etc.)
R
How will you cause students to reflect and rethink? How will you guide them in rehearsing, revising, and refining their work?
“R” IdeasConversation and guided discussion are a daily learning tool as well as specific examples of mentor text and modeled- think aloud strategies.Mine/ Ours/ Theirs comparisons based on notes in groups of 3 will aid comparisons of diverse populations and individuals Formative assessment show what individuals know and are ready to learn next.
E
How will you help students to exhibit and self-evaluate their growing skills, knowledge, and understanding throughout the unit?
“E2” IdeasThrough think – pair – share activity, Lit. circle self- evaluationstudent /teacher conferencesinteractive bulletin board of examples of lives on the frontier
Compare and contrast the views of different cultures observed in the diverse groups under study Demonstration of skills in memoir writing, use of historical process skills and high order thinking.
T
How will you tailor instruction to meet student need in readiness, learning style, and interest while remaining true to the desired result?
“T” IdeasI will listen carefully to students as they question and share to look for opportunities to tailor instruction. Students carry and complete a travel journal which serves as a differentiated menu of related classroom activities with some they must visit and some they will choose. The artifact of the journal will serve as an individual’s way to keep notes, reflections and to recall key learning.I will provide opportunities for student choice and address the wide variations in readiness through guided selection of classroom materials and providing support and demonstrated examples for challenging reading and writing tasks.
13
O
How will you organize learning experiences to maximize engagement and understanding and minimize misconceptions?
“O” Ideas Through careful planning and ongoing
reflection on experiences. I have tried to plan for a wide array of learning styles.
Students will keep new learning notes in their response journals.
Students are provided with a timeline for completion of unit tasks and milestones at the beginning of the unit...
I am willing to be flexible as the needs of the individual learners arise.
