Native American Stories

Make sure your creation story is posted.  I will be grading these today and this weekend.

Unit Learning goal: Students will demonstrate knowledge of nineteenth century foundation works of American Literature by choosing one of the four subsections of this Unit (Native American Experience, Early Explorers and Settlers, The Puritan Experience, and Writers of the Revolution) researching and reading an additional story, essay or speech of their choice and creating a video discussing the theme and how the work fits its particular period. 

Okay, so you are going to read a Native American myth of your own.  Take notes, and retell it to class on Tuesday.

1st - words of the day and then I'll give you 10 minutes to finish yesterday's work.

You can use any of the following websites:
