Lesson Plan: Building Background Knowledge



“Trail of Tears Reenactment: Building Background Knowledge.” National Parks Service, U.S. Department of the Interior, www.nps.gov/ruca/learn/education/classrooms/lesson-plan.htm.

            What makes this lesson special is the fact that it includes a free movie on the Trail of Tears. The movie is 23 minutes long and is appropriate for grades 4 and up. Students will be able to write predictions for the film and learn about food rations while on Trail of Tears. This lesson also creates a platform for group work and collaboration.
