Standard 5: Application of Content

The teacher understands how to connect concepts and use differing perspectives to engage learners in
critical thinking, creativity, and collaborative problem solving related to authentic local and global issues.

This document includes the 5 lesson plans from my social studies unit on the Trail of Tears done in EDU 370.
This unit covered the issue of one group of people (the American Indians) being treated unfairly by another
(the US government). Students explored the reasons for the Trail of Tear from different perspectives such as
from the perspective of a soldier or an Indian being forced to move. Because of this students were able to
critically and creatively think about the experience and come to the conclusion that an event like the Trail of
Tears should not happen again. For these reasons, I believe that this unit applies to Standard 5.
