The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Nomadic Tribes: Lipan Apache, Karankawa, and Comanche:
Overview In this experience, students imagine what their lives would be like if they belonged to a nomadic people. Then they learn about the Lipan Apache and Karankawa tribes and their cultural regions, creating charts to display the information. Finally they analyze how the arrival of the Comanche into Texas led to the relocation of other tribes. If you have access to leveled readers about Apache, Karankawa, or Comanche tribes, assign them to the students in parallel to this experience. Estimated duration: 35-45 minutes Vocabulary words: Objective
Some Indian tribes were nomadic, which means that they did not have a fixed home but moved around often, although within a defined area. In this experience you will learn about three nomadic tribes who spent at least part of their time in Texas: the Lipan Apache, the Karankawa, and the Comanche.
Objective
Some of the major Indian tribes in Texas
Imagine that you belong to a modern nomadic people. Your tribe travels across the Plains from North Dakota all the way down to Texas, following the warm weather and opportunities to hunt. How do you feel about always being on the move with no permanent address? How do you get an education?
Write a few sentences describing your life. Use your imagination.
Make sure that students understand that this is an imaginary scenario and there is no right or wrong answer.
