What is culture? "Culture" is a term that describes the entire way of life shared by a group of people. -National Geographic You get to learn something important about a Native American culture by reading a news article of your choice! 1- Please read at least one of the Newsela articles in the template, and circle your choice(s). Use the link on the article picture to go to any article. 2- On page 2, share your learning about the culture you read about. Note- Feel free to use drawing tools in ways that connect to your learning about the culture. Hint- I recommend that you read the article at the level that is most comfortable for you and perhaps even read it again at another level!
Hello Seesaw Colleagues! Newsela is a rich resource for news articles, which can be read at different reading levels. I encourage students to read articles at a comfortable level and then at other levels as well (both ones they think are easier or harder). There are many articles related to Native American culture. I chose ones that are fairly recent, that I thought my students would find personally interesting, and that seemed to connect with a clear aspect of traditional "culture" like art, values, food, nature, etc. But you may find choices that are better for your students and perhaps focused on a different culture. Enjoy, Kristin
