Art Integrated Lesson Plan Social Studies: Learn about Native American Homes Web Resource: http://www.native-languages.org/houses.

htm Objectives: The Learner Will Understand the different types of homes used by Great Plains Native Americans. GLE: SS3 1.10 -Summarize the viability and diversity of Native American cultures before Europeans came. CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.5.9 -Integrate information from several texts on the same topic in order to write or speak about the subject knowledgeably. Process: -Introduce Native Americans. -Introduce weather patterns, environment, and resources involved with home construction. -WebQuest: Find your Native American home and record which Native American Group used this kind of home. Resources involved in the construction of the Home. Find the environmental concerns involved with the need to make this specific home. Assessment: -Students must record which Native American Group built their home. -Students must record what resources were used to construct the home. -Students must identify what surrounding environmental factors contributed to their decision to make this kind of home. Art: Construct Native American Homes -Students must make a construction of their Native American Homes in partners. -Encourage students to bring in recyclable goods to construct their Native American homes. -Students should write a paper explaining elements similar to their Native Americans home, and elements that differ. Creating from trash and commonly produced art materials. Robbie Rowlands is the inspiration for the construction. Math: Find volume of Native American Homes Objectives: The Learner Will determine the volume of each cube shaped home, and then compare that with other cube shaped homes. GLE: MA 3 1.6 -compare related data sets MA 2 3.1 -identify and justify the unit of measure for area (customary and metric) CCSS.Math.Content.5.MD.C.5b

-Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with wholenumber edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.

Process:

-Introduce Measurments and Dimensions -Brainstorm why we would need to know volume of certain objects. -Use formula to determine volume of Native American houses. Students will imagine they were Native Americans and using the house as a grain shed to store food. Which home would be the best to use. Students will move from home to home and measure each home, using the fomula to determine volume. Assessment: -Students will create their own record of volumes on a sheet displaying dimensions and volumes for each home they visited. Students will need to do measurments for atleast 5 homes. -Students will be graded out of 10 points. 5 points given for each home based on realistic and accurate measurements. 5 points for accurate volume listed.
