This lesson plan aims to teach students about tipis and their cultural significance. It includes outcomes related to appreciating diversity and understanding indigenous origins. Students will read a story about tipis, construct a model, and discuss tipi designs and shapes. The teacher will assess comprehension by having students accurately describe the 3D shape of tipis and the connections between the story and tipi designs using buffalo skins. The teacher reflected that the story was a good example of Blackfoot tipi philosophy but the introduction could be improved.
