III. The PlanTime Parts The description of (script for) the lesson, wherein you describe teacher activities and

student activities5 Motivation

(Opening/Introduction/Engagement)

“How many of you have ever been to a carnival or a fair or an amusement park? How many of you have ever had an elephant ear or fried dough?”Allow students to raise their hands in responsePass out pieces of fried bread (be cautious of student allergies here! Only pass out bread if you are SURE all students can have it, otherwise skip this step!)“Did you know that fried bread actually comes from Native Americans?!”“Today we are going to start off our lesson talking just a little bit about Native American food and how they got it.”

Development

Have students take out their Native American packets. On the ELMO, fill in the blanks while also showing students images of the various foods/techniques used to gather food – specifically for how they dried their food

Once that is completed, gather students into a large circle. Walk around the circle giving students numbers 1-5. “Once we begin this activity, I want you all to pay close attention to what this activity sounds like, and be ready to share afterwards.”Explain to students “The Rain Activity”

- Teacher starts rubbing her hands together

- When you call out a number, students with that number should start rubbing their hands together

- Once you have called out all numbers, start snapping your fingers- When you call out a number, students with that number should start snapping their fingers- Repeat this process with clapping and stomping your feet- Begin to work backwards (stomping to clapping to snapping to rubbing hands) and then quiet

Ask students what they thought the activity sounded like (a rain storm). “Many Native American tribes would perform dances to try and make it rain; especially those in the Desert biome. They believed that these dances would bring rain. It may seem strange to us now, and not many Native Americans today still do this (some do!), but it was a big part of their culture.”

Have students open up their packets again and turn to the backside of the food notes page. Fill in the chart comparing Native American beliefs and Christian beliefs, using the ELMO to model for the students. While filling out the notes, allow students to ask questions about various beliefsHighlight John 3:16 at the bottom of the page

- “Even though that Native Americans worshipped different gods and spirits, God still loved them. John 3:16 tells us that God so loved….. just Christians?”

- No! ‘For God so loved the WORLD!’- “It is important for us to remember that! God loves EVERYONE, even those who do not know

him.”
