Social Studies: Comparing the Iroquois and Sioux Native Americans

 How were Native Americans influenced by environmental and geographical factors?

In our first mini-lecture, students in 411 learned how to compare and contrast the Iroquois and Sioux Native Americans. During the lecture, students listened for information to help them answer the essential question, "How were Native Americans influenced by environmental and geographical factors?"Students experimented with some of the note-taking strategies learned, including webbing, making a list, and using a T-Chart to compare and contrast information.
