James's+Alexie+Lesson

Zorielle:

Sorry for the lateness, here's my lesson plan. It's fairly simple, as it's a way of opening up the book and warming up the students. After this lesson, the students will begin reading the first couple chapters of the book, and we will return to this activity throughout the unit and see how the students responses have changed. . . or not.

My questions to you are:

What other resources or media might you be able to suggest I add, either in place of the Alexie video, or in conjunction with another lesson later in the unit? (I have some Native American / Indian images, I'm using the movie //Smoke Signals//, and I have some other ideas . . . do you know of any historical documents I might bring in?

Does this lesson "make sense"? It does in my head, but another set of eyes would help.
