More specifically, how do you explain why everyone is taught a fake version of the holiday.]]> 2017-11-26 16:25:07 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210158620 emily_hogue https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210160919 This site stresses the importance of learning a lot of information on the Indigenous perspective  to topics that you will teach. The article has a lot of great ideas of discussions to have with your students. The discussions revolve around normalizing American Indian culture and showing them that culture is different for every tribe. They suggest comparing some beliefs in their culture to the beliefs of American Indians so that they can see themselves in the American Indian's way of life. The end of the article tells educators the main ideas to consider when teaching about American Indians. They stress that if you keep these points in mind then your teaching will be appropriate and honoring to the American Indians.]]> 2017-11-26 16:40:55 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210160919 emily_hogue https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210161774 When doing some research I came across a website that belonged to the NMAI museum. They stressed the importance of the teacher workshops they have. This gave me the idea of reaching out to museums in the area to see if they had educator workshops or resources that you could use to help teach about American Indians in your classroom]]> 2017-11-26 16:46:36 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210161774 emily_hogue https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210162334 Once again, this website stresses the importance of understanding the material as an educator. The end of the article gives you great discussion ideas to use in your classroom. One that I liked was " How far off is the modern story of Thanksgiving from what actually happened? What do you think about the idea of the “Thanksgiving myth” as a representation of what we celebrate today?" It reminded me of the importance of asking kids what they think> Children have great ideas, and sometimes they just need some scaffolding to be able to articulate their thoughts on a topic. The discussion topics listed on this webpage are meant for older kids, but I think that by looking at the main idea the question is trying to answer, you can use that main idea to ask questions that fit your students learning. ]]> 2017-11-26 16:50:12 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210162334 emily_hogue https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210163638 Using the CRESST facebook group, I found a podcast for educators called Think Indigenous. They seem to be short (15-20 minutes) and include great ideas! They are not labeled by topic but by person speaking, so it was difficult to find a specific talk on Thanksgiving, but I am sure there is a talk on thanksgiving in the classroom. ]]> 2017-11-26 16:58:27 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210163638 emily_hogue https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210165752 This site gives great ideas about how to teaching thanksgiving in a culturally responsive way. It has multiple links that talk about how to teaching in a culturally responsive way for grade kinder through third. The website gives examples of some great children's literature to use and offers ways to talk about the text. The page also generally talks about how to avoid teaching holidays as just the "tip of the iceberg". This website says that a great way to teach young kids about thanksgiving is through children's literature. ]]> 2017-11-26 17:12:22 UTC https://padlet.com/emily_hogue/kowvskrlc16j/wish/210165752
