Overview/Rational/Introduction

Overview: This unit will introduce 5th grade students to life in colonial America. Students will understand where the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies are located in relation to each other and will explore what it was like to live in the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies. They will consider what life was like from the perspective of at least three different groups of people living in the colonial time period. Furthermore, students will understand that the growth of cash crops and property caused the labor force to develop and increased the amount of slaves and they will realize that there are agricultural, economic, and social differences in the regions of colonial America and will explore why these differences exist.

Rationale: It is important that students learn about colonial life in America because it is the foundation of our country, the United States of America. Through learning about the colonial culture, students will begin to think about where our country has come from and how it has developed since its beginnings. Furthermore, it allows them to see life from a different perspective and imagine what it was like living in that time and place in the US. It also teaches them how to compare and contrast differing regions and people which allows them to see that where you live affects your culture.

Introduction: This unit about colonial America and what daily life was like in the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies will allow students to participate in whole and small group discussion, read trade books in which the colonial life is described in detail, view videos, and create maps showing where the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies were located. Also, this unit will allow students to view pictures (primary sources) depicting the labor force during the colonial time and allow them to discuss as a class about the growth of the labor force due to important cash crops. Through Marzano’s six steps for vocabulary instruction, students will learn important vocabulary for colonial America including: Export, Cash Crop, Slavery, Indentured Servants, Tobacco, Cotton, Labor Force, Plantations, and Property. The teacher will also read primary books and show videos about the different individuals living in colonial America which will depict the different perspectives of various people groups such as: slaves, indentured servants, wealthy plantation owners, merchants, etc.

The wealthy landowner made a living by having many slaves and owned huge plantations where crops such as indigo, rice, and tobacco were grown. Other than working to direct their slaves, the life of a wealthy landowner was one of ease with parties and upholding Federalist beliefs. They lived in large houses. Many farmers were immigrants who owned small farms and who worked hard to support their families. They may have owned a couple of slaves but could not afford a lot of other things. They grew primary cash crops and other foods that their families could eat and lived in smaller wooden homes. The slave’s life was one of great hardship. They were considered property by their owners and could be bought or sold at any time. Many were physically abused by their owners and were required to work sun up to sun down in the hot weather. They were allowed very few privileges, such as not allowed to get married, no ability to leave the plantation, no choice in their job, and sometimes barely enough food. Merchants lived a fairly easy life in which they traded freely with

Students will understand that life was drastically different for the different people groups living in colonial America which depended both upon which region one lived in and what social class one was from.

Students will create a pyramid foldable with each side describing aspects of life and perspectives for a different people group that lived in the colonial America.

other nations. However, there were heavy taxes and governmental influence from New England which at times made trade difficult and expensive. The poor at this time had very difficult lives since not many people had extra money or extra food to spare. However, the poor were better off than in England since there was work available and people were very communal. Indentured servants had a rough life, but it was better than the life that many had escaped from in Europe. Also, they had hope to one day own their own house, small farm, and continue to work for their future. American Indians’ lives were focused on hunting, small farming, trade, and trapping. The way that they lived depended on the resources available in the land in which they lived. Many Native Americans were exploited by the white people and were overcome by the diseases they brought such as smallpox. Their lives were difficult at times, but were very focused on their community. They had their own religious views that were very different from the Anglican/Protestant/Quaker beliefs of the colonists. There were very few free Africans at this time. Most lived in the cities in the North and either were granted or had to buy their freedom. Even though they were free and therefore had more opportunities than the slaves, their lives were still very difficult as it was hard for them to climb society’s ladder. Plus, their families were probably not free so they were on their own, separated from their people.

Learning (DO)Cash Crop farming was when primary crops were sold and exported to other countries. These crops included tobacco which was the number one crop and some others were indigo, wheat, barley, rice, and rye were grown. There were indentured servants and farmers who harvested these crops, but by the late 1600s most of the labor force was replaced by slaves. The indentured servants were those who worked off their traveling debts by working for wealthier farmers and plantation owners while slaves were physically owned by the plantation owners (farmers could afford only a few slaves). As farms grew larger and larger and began to turn into sprawling plantations, the need for a larger labor force was necessary. Which increased the amount of slaves who worked in the labor forces since the owners needed more people to work their crops.

Students will understand that the growth of cash crops and property caused the labor force to develop and increased the amount of slaves.

Students will write a paragraph describing how the emerging labor force developed in the colonies.

There are agricultural, economic, and social differences between the Northern (New England), Middle, and Southern Colonies. The Southern colonies mostly grew tobacco, rice, and indigo because of the climate there and were very pro-slavery because they needed a larger labor force for their many giant fields. They also had more of a one-crop-economy which depended on supply-and-demand since they needed to

Students will understand that there are agricultural, economic, and social differences in the regions of colonial America and that these differences exist

When given a list of the differences in the regions of colonial America, students will first categorize the regional differences into each colonial region (New England, Middle, or Southern colonies) and will then write down general reasons for why these differences exist.

trade for food and other things using their cash crops. The middle colonies were known as “the bread colonies” because their climate allowed them to grow crops such as wheat, barley, rye, and buckwheat. They relied less heavily on trade simply because they could eat what they grew and had a more stable economy that was not based on supply and demand. The Northern colonies could not grow nearly as many crops due to their climate and therefore they turned more to trade which caused cities to begin developing there. Also, the north was more organized with a central government, education and developing cities. The south struggled with their social structure since it was hard to set up schools (plantations were so far away from each other) and cities.

Vocabulary Lesson Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Students will categorize various pictures and items and will find the flash card with the correct term. They will match the flashcard with the proper item. Then, on the back of the flashcard they will explain why they choose that item to go with that flashcard. They will also write any other tidbit they learned about that term.

How will you grade it?

I will grade it by reading the students’ flashcards to check that they understand the terms. I will also be walking around listening to the discussions that they are having about what flashcard goes with what item. Students will be considered to have mastered the material if they have correctly matched 80-100% of the flashcards/terms to the item. Some items may have more than one possibility, so part of the grading is based upon their response on the back of the flashcard. If they correctly argue why they choose that item to define the term, than their response would be considered correct.

Lesson One Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Students will fill out a map of the New England, Middle, and Southern colonies as table small groups first. Then, they will take a quiz that requires them to color in their own map and create a key for it.

How will you grade it?

I will grade it by making sure that each individual colony is correctly colored in to the corresponding colonies heading: New England, Middle, or Southern colonies. Each colony that is colored correctly is worth 2 point. ½ point will be given if the student incorrectly colors that colony but has a map key and 0 points will be given if the colony is given no color at all or if there is no key.

Lesson Two Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Students will discuss the reading about the lives of colonial Americans which the teacher can use as a non-graded assessment of what they are grasping. Students will also create a pamphlet showing the different things that were important in the lives of colonial Americans (as a result of the discussion).

How will you grade it?

I will grade it by making sure that each student has created a pamphlet about life in colonial America. I will grade it by checking that they have their paper signed by a parent/guardian stating that they presented their pamphlet and described key aspects of colonial life to them. Lesson Three Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Students will discuss the reading about the lives of colonial Americans in small groups (Jigsaw activity) and the teacher will walk around listening to these group discussions and helping/answering questions/hinting/making points/asking questions as the students talk about the reading.

How will you grade it?

Students will create a KWL chart. They will turn this KWL chart in to the teacher who will grade it based upon completion, at least three ideas/bullet points/sentences for each section, and serious answers or thoughts in their KWL. This will allow the teacher to assess what the students have learned thus far. Lesson Four Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Before leaving, students will complete an exit card detailing something they have learned that day, a question they have, or any other thought they want to leave with about the topic: daily life in the New England, Middle, and Southern Colonies. They will not be graded, but the teacher can use them to see where the students are at in their learning, what still needs to be discussed, and what has been learned.

How will you grade it?Students will receive their full participation points for the hour by completing the exit card.

Students will create posters for their specific colonial America topic (ie education) which will display the key ideas and information that their classmates should know about that aspect of colonial life. At the end of the lesson, students will also fill out a 3-2-1 sheet showing 3 things they learned, 2 things that surprised them and 1 question they still have. The teacher can use these in order to mark student progress and

How will you grade it?

The teacher will grade the poster by checking that students have completed the poster (participation points) and will check that they have completed the 3-2-1 sheet. These will be used as formative assessments to see how students’ concepts of colonial American life are progressing and what lessons still need to be taught.

Lesson Six Assessment ideas: How will you know they’ve learned it?

Students will write in their writer’s notebook about the book that was read as a class. Students will also fill out a scavenger hunt about the Dagget’s life and what it was like living in colonial America.

How will you grade it?

I will grade the scavenger hunt for correction. Each question is worth 5 points if the students have the answer correct. I will also read over the students’ entries about what they learned through the reading to see how well students have learned the material.

Lessons: How will you take them where they need to go?Direct Instruction:

1. Teacher will begin the lessons by introducing the ten vocabulary words according to the script and the pictures, using Marzano’s Six Steps to Building Academic Vocabulary. The teacher will bring in relia and pictures to help connect the learning to real life.

2. Teacher will show videos and read from books to illustrate what an export is, what a cash Crop is including tobacco and cotton as examples, how plantations developed and how the laborer force was

Instructional strategies/Social constructs: How will they work?

Students will participate in small group discussions as the vocabulary words and concepts are introduced by the teacher. Sometimes, the class will share as a large group when necessary. Students will also show their work and reflect in their Writer’s Notebook. They will create part of a top-tab book about indentured servants and slaves which they will complete in later lessons. Students will listen to slave narratives and will discuss in groups what they learned. They will play games such as the bag matching game and the balderdash game. Through these games, the teacher will see if students can define the terms and understand what they are.

Guided Practice:3A. Lesson 1-Teacher will provide ample opportunity for students to talk with one another about the labor force, slaves and what property means, and indentured servants. Students will discuss in groups after watching the slave narratives video. Students will work on a top-tab booklet to think further about Slaves and Indentured Servants.3B. Lesson 2-Teacher will lead the students in a bag/matching activity. Students will sort through pictures and items from the bag and will match them with the appropriate term. Teacher will take these notecards home to see how well students are processing and understanding the vocab terms. Since there are so many terms, more practice will be needed.

A. Students will discuss in groups. They will also create a top-tab booklet which includes “slaves” and “indentured servants”. They will finish the top-tab booklet in another lesson so that they can continue to make connections with the terms.B. Students will work in groups to match the terms/items. They will write why they choose that term for the item/picture and will write any additional tidbit that they have learned on the back of the flashcard.

The grading group will read off the answers and then will place the slip of paper under the elmo projector so that the students can read them. After reading them all, the grading group will select the best definition and will hold that slip of paper up. That group will then receive a point. Whichever team has the most points wins.

5. Teacher will review and revise further lessons as needed for students to understand the learned terms about the emerging labor force in the colonies. This may include differentiated instruction for those needing further help and those who have mastered their ideas

Students will revise their understanding and participate in further instruction as needed. Eventually, they will complete the top-tab they created in another lesson with a related GLCE (from the Colonial America segment).

The teacher may need to provide additional pictures and explain further or perhaps show a diagram of how the terms connect to one another so that there is a transfer of knowledge and understanding between the terms.

groups of 5 or 6. Each person in that group will be assigned a different section of the Daily Life in the Pilgrim Colony 1636 . Once they know what section they must cover, then they meet with all of the other group members who have the same topic as them. Then, they read their section and record any important information as they discuss. After several minutes of group discussion with these members, the teacher will then have the students get back into their original groups. In these groups, each group member

Students will participate in a Jigsaw activity based upon Daily Life in the Pilgrim Colony 1936. Each student will get a chance to “be the expert” and teach their section to their original group members. They will also record notes in their own “history notebooks” in order to remember what their groups discussed in both of the groups.

Resource A: A Script for Vocabulary Development

Lesson 1: Labor Force, Slaves, Property, Indentured ServantsLabor Force:Teacher-talk (Step One): How many of you know the jobs of one of your parents/guardians and can share with our class? (Students Answer). What are some other jobs that people might have? People who work are a part of something called the labor force. Not only are the people who are working a part of the labor force, but also people who are not working but who are able to work. So, the labor force is all of the people who are a part of a certain group that are able to work. Let’s look at some pictures to think about what who is a part of the labor force today (Teacher shares pictures of the current labor force Resource A). So, we have thought about what the labor force is today. But what who was the labor force in the colonial times? We are going to learn about two major groups of people who were in the labor force at that time. See if you can figure out who these groups were after I show you some more pictures. If you know, keep it to yourself and you can raise your hand to tell the class at the end. (Teacher shares pictures of the labor force in colonial times Resource B). The two major groups who were a part of the labor force were slaves and indentured servants.

Slaves: Teacher-talk (Step One): Now that we have thought about the labor force, we realized that there were two major groups of people in the labor force. They were slaves and Indentured servants. But what is a slave? Can anyone tell me? (Student Answer). Now, we need to remember that a slave nowadays is perhaps a bit different than it was in colonial times. Sadly, there still are slaves today. But when we talk about Slavery during colonial times, we are mostly talking about black slaves from Africa. These people were stolen from their homelands, thrown into ships, and then sold as property to the wealthy. Does anyone know what I mean when I say they were considered “property”?

Property: Teacher-talk (Step One): If you can’t define property, than can anyone give me an example of property? Please raise your hands. (Student Answer). Property is a thing or things that belong to someone. When I say that the slaves were thought of as property, I mean that they belonged to or were owned by their master. Just like your parents might own the property that your house is on, so were slaves owned by their bosses. Most of us believe this is wrong, and it is wrong. But we must put those feelings aside to think about the way slaves were a part of the labor force during colonial times and what life was like for those slaves. Let’s put the word “property” on our word wall to remember that word in the future.

Now that we have thought about what “property” means, we can better understand that slaves were thought of as “property” to their owners. To help us understand more about slaves, we are going to hear some slave narratives from records of slaves and what life was like for them. Don’t take notes or anything, just listen to their stories which are true about what slavery was like and what it

means to be a slave. (Find this website which gives information about the slaves who are sharing their stories including a map showing where they lived and also with audio of the slave narratives http://www.moadsf.org/salon/exhibits/slave_narratives/flash.php)

Teacher-Talk (Step Two): We have heard what it was like to be a slave from true accounts of people who were slaves. What I would like us to do is share in your groups (already organized by tables) a few things that you noticed about slaves while listening to them. What really stood out to you? What is something you learned or that you reviewed? (Gives students 5-7 minutes to discuss.)

Teacher-Talk (Step Five) Activity: Now, we are going to write some of these things we learned about slaves in the “slaves” tab of a Top-Tab Booklet (See sample for what the Top-Tab Booklet will end up looking like. The Booklet will be finished in another lesson for standard 5.U2.3.3)

Teacher Prep: Each student needs 5 different pastel colors of paper. Follow these Top-Tab Instructions:1. Tell students to take 1 of each colored piece of paper. (and have 5 for yourself for demonstration purposes)2. Show the students the sample. Then, take the first sheet of paper and show them how to fold it into 16ths (Teacher Talks

and Demonstrates: Take the first sheet and fold it in half hamburger style. Next, fold it in half again hamburger style. Once again, fold it in half hamburger style. One last time, fold it in half hamburger style. Now, you have an outline for how to cut your top-tab booklet!)

3. Line up the folded outline with your second sheet of paper. Cut the top right box out of both papers. Set the sheet aside.4. Next, line up the third piece of paper and cut out the top right box according to the outline sheet (this means you will cut

out “two boxes” worth on the piece of paper that has not been cut yet).5. Now, line up the fourth piece of paper and cut out all the way to the top right box. 6. For the last sheet (5th), cut off the last box according to the outline (This page should have NO tab, just a straight line)7. Label each tab. Tab names: “Wealthy Landowner”, “Slaves”, “Indentured Servants”, “American Indians”

Teacher-Talk: We will finish this Top-Tab book at another time, and will add some information today about Indentured Servants. Set the top-tab book aside and let’s learn about indentured servants.

Indentured Servants:Teacher-talk (Step One): A minute ago, we talked about slaves and why they were important in the labor force. Can anyone give me a guess as to who they think an “indentured servant” is? (Student Answer). Well, an indentured servant is similar to a slave because their boss paid for their work. Basically, an indentured servant is someone who sold their labor in order to gain passage on ships and live in America. After a certain number of years, the indentured servant is “free” again because they have paid off their debt to their boss. So, they are different from a slave because their boss doesn’t own them as a person, just the boss owns their work for a certain number of years. To help us understand who an indentured servant is, we are going to read about the life of one indentured

servant named Molly Bannaky. We are not going to be able to read the whole book today, but if you want to know more than you can check out this book from the library. After we are done reading, we will do an activity together. (Read some excerpts from the book: Molly Bannaky written by Alice McGill Houghton Mifflin co. 1993.)

Teacher-talk (Step Two): Now that we have read about Molly’s life as an indentured servant, let’s think about what it was like for her. For a minute, I want you all to close your eyes. Now, imagine what it would be like if you were in Molly’s shoes. What if you woke up this morning, and you were an indentured servant. When I say go, you can open your eyes and write down a few things about how you imagined your life as an indentured servant in your Writer’s Notebook (each student should have a Writer’s Notebook in or on their desk that they keep with them all semester). Okay, go! (give students 4-6 minutes to write) Now, we are going to take a couple of minutes to write down some of the information and definition of an Indentured Servant in our top-tab book. (Give students time to write for a few minutes, if necessary discuss what should be written as a class and the teacher writes it on the white board). For today, we are done with our top-tab book so put it in your “Work for Later” folders so we can finish it another day.

Teacher-talk (Step Three): Now that we have learned what the labor force was in colonial times, draw a picture showing who was in the labor force. You can label if necessary. Then, write a brief definition for labor force that describes your picture. At the end, you will be handing them in to me.

Lesson 2: Cash Crop, Export, Tobacco, Cotton, PlantationCash Crop (See tobacco and Cotton Definitions for examples): Teacher-talk (Step One): Yesterday, we learned about the labor force and who was in the labor force. Today, we are going to think about why the labor force was needed. One big part of colonial life was farming and agriculture. At that time, farms grew and grew in size until they became very large farms which were called plantations. We will talk more about what plantations are later. But the important thing is that what these large farms grew was called cash crops. Cash Crop farming was when primary crops were sold and exported to other countries. These crops included tobacco which was the number one crop and some others were indigo, wheat, barley, rice, and rye. So, cash crops are crops that are sold and exported for money rather than to be used by the family or person who grew them.

Export:Teacher-talk (Step One): Does anyone know what the word export means? (Student Answer) When I say go, I want you all to find a partner and one person from each group to come up and take an object from the bag. It doesn’t matter what the object is. (Each group gets a T-shirt). As a group, try to find out where your object was made and when you are done, each group will write where their object is from on the board. (Students search and write). Okay, so where were a lot of the objects from? What does this mean? (Students Answer). These objects were all exported to us from other countries. This means that the

Life in Colonial America Unit SST 309 Penninga, Section 03

Page 31: ashleypenninga.weebly.com  · Web view2019. 8. 22. · This unit will introduce 5th grade students to life in colonial America. Students will understand where the New England, Middle,

31

objects were made in other countries and then were sent to us in the United States. So, export means to send what was made in one country and sell it in a different country. When we say that the cash crops were exported, we are saying that the cash crops were sold in other countries.

Now that we understand what export means and how cash crops were exported, what were some of the cash crops? Can anyone remember what some of the cash crops were? (Students may Answer). There were several cash crops that were sold, but we are going to think about a couple of the major ones today.

Tobacco:Teacher-talk (Step One): Show students a tobacco leaf (realia). Does anyone know what this is? (Student answer; tobacco leaf). What do people use tobacco for? Have you ever seen someone buy a pack of cigarettes or cigars? Tobacco was one of the most important cash crops in the colonial times. Can anyone remind the class what a “cash crop” is? (see cash crop for definition) Tobacco was one of the cash crops that colonists exported for money and was one of the most common cash crops. Does anyone remember what “export” means? (see export for definition) So the colonists exported tobacco because it was a cash crop that they could sell for money.

Cotton:Teacher-talk (Step One): Show students cotton balls, a cotton T-shirt, a cotton bed sheet, and a cotton towel (realia). Can anyone tell me what all of these objects have in common? (Students answer; cotton). That’s right; these items are all made out of cotton. Does anyone know where cotton comes from? (Students may answer). Cotton is a fibrous seed that grows on a plant and is used to make household items like the ones we looked at. Also, it is an example of a cash crop. Can anyone remind the class what a “cash crop” is? (See cash crop for definition) Cotton is one of the cash crops during the colonial times and also provided the people with clothing and other items.

Plantations:Teacher-Talk (Step One): We have looked at what the labor force was and what the cash crops were. Now, let’s think about why the labor force was so important. During the colonial times, the farmlands continued to grow and grow until they became huge farms known as plantations. Plantations were large farms with many slaves who worked as laborers in the fields. (Show pictures of the plantations and explain the pictures)

Teacher-Talk (Step Four and Five): Now that we have learned all of these terms that explain the emerging work force in colonial America, let’s review. (Terms learned: Export, Cash Crop, Slavery, Indentured Servants, Tobacco, Cotton, Labor Force, Plantations, Property) I am going to hand each group (groups are their tables again) a bag with different materials and pictures in it. I am also

On the back of the flashcard, as a group you will write a about what that term means and how it fits with the picture or object from the bag. Some will be simpler and won’t require as much thinking, but others you might have to think about a bit more. Make sure to discuss in your groups which term goes with what item. I will be walking around and helping as needed. (Hand out the Bag of Materials. See Resource D for materials needed. Collect the notecards from each group at the end to assess whether or not they understand the terms. Remember, they will be learning more in depth about many of these terms in further lessons.)

Teacher-Talk (Step Six): We are going to play a Balderdash Game. Listen carefully while I explain the game. You will be a team with your table group. One group will pick one of the vocab terms that we learned out of a hat/jar and will read the word to the class and write it on the board. Then, they will be the judges for that round. Each other group will discuss the term and will write down the best possible definition for that word on the partial sheet of paper. Next, one member from each group will turn in their answer slip. The grading group will read off the answers and then will place the slip of paper under the elmo projector so that the students can read them. After reading them all, the grading group will select the best definition and will hold that slip of paper up. That group will then receive a point. Whichever team has the most points wins. I will help explain if you have questions as we play the game. (Teacher facilitates the game as needed, answering any questions, but mostly the students should be able to play and lead the game. See Resource E)
