It basically discusses the history behind American Indians, the Navajo language, and the fight for trying to preserve it for years, since not many people speak the dialects anymore. Vocabulary is also incorporated into both the video and article, in which students can apply in their final assessment essay. This provides a different perspective than just the Navajo Code Talkers in the war, which gives more specific knowledge to students. We'd watch the video as a class, while they would read the article in groups or we could potentially read it as a class, since it's a longer text. We'd focus more on the historical aspects of this reading, as well as applying how the loss of language or preservation of language applies to students in their families or individual lives. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:24:51 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349788286 fdmorale https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349789110 This is a great primary document that students can work together to analyze. This also teaches the difference between reliable/unreliable sources and gives a perspective of the Navajo's from American people. It provides insight on why they could utilize the Navajo's and how they would be able to use their dialect, since no one knew it. Through this document, we'd want students to work together to annotate, analyze, and create discussion on why language is important to preserve. We'd then ask them to find another primary document through their research, most likely in small groups. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:26:13 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349789110 fdmorale https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349791419 The article is extremely important for students to read because it discusses the fact that the Navajo Code Talkers were to be kept a secret and they weren't honored until many years after their service. As a class, we'd read this together, and stop at times to reflect on why this is important, why the Navajo Code Talkers weren't honored right away, and how this connects to the world today. Some things I'd mention or have students build knowledge on is how Indians were removed from their own land, abused, why they were to not be honored when everyone else was, and how the discrimination could be applicable or how it connects to any recent events. These would all be guiding questions and activating prior knowledge to enhance critical thinking skills in the classroom. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:29:30 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349791419 fdmorale https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349791909 This is a good article for the first day of the lesson. It gives students a brief overview of who the Navajo Code Talkers were and what they did during World War 2. For this specific text, we'd have the students read as a class, along with the instructors. We would model annotations for the first paragraph, so students know what they're annotating and looking for through the rest of the article. This would also enhance class discussion when thinking about the influence or changes Navajo Code Talkers had on the war. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:30:21 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349791909 fdmorale https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349792345 This digital site tool works like a museum that takes students through information on the Navajo Code Talkers, maps on where they were from, their languages, and even provides examples of some Navajo's. Pictures, maps, texts, and reflection/discussion questions are included for students to browse through. For this museum like tool, students would work in small groups or partners to browse through the entire page and gather more information on the history of Navajo's alone. After this, we'd come back as a class to look at the discussion/reflection questions and have a socratic-seminar type of activity in which everyone has to share something connecting back to this information. ]]> 2022-10-20 22:31:07 UTC https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349792345 jcorte29 https://padlet.com/fdmorale/g3c2senaq5andfvc/wish/2349839942 Standards:
