Native People of Wisconsin Student Reader and Teacher's Guide
Native People of Wisconsin
Student Reader and Teacher's
Guide By Patty Loew
by Patty Loew
Native People of Wisconsin, the fifth text in the New Badger
History series for upper elementary and middle school students,
focuses on the Indian Nations in the state: the Menominee, Ho-Chunk,
Ojibwe, Oneida, Mohican Nation, Stockbridge-Munsee Band, and
the Brothertown Indians. Patty Loew has followed the same structure
she used in Indian Nations of Wisconsin, her book for general
audience, in which she provided chapters on Early History and
European Arrivals, and then devoted the remaining chapters to
each of the Indian Nations in Wisconsin today.
Teachers have needed accurate information and authentic
materials to teach about the Indian Nations of Wisconsin in
accordance with the legislation popularly known as Act 31, which
requires that they acquaint their students with information
pertaining to tribal treaty rights. But such a complex issue
and its consequences for our state's evolution can only be understood
within the context of tribal identity and history. Native People
of Wisconsin meets that need. In the text, students encounter
each Indian Nation individually, but within a common framework--cultural
traditions, tribal history, and each nation's experience in
the state today. Such structuring allows students to recognize
the integrity of each nation, while providing a convenient means
to compare and contrast these rich and distinct stories. Loew
has incorporated traditional stories and oral history sources,
and has added short biographies of Native People of Wisconsin
Up Close that introduce students to contemporary individual
tribal members, including children.

Teacher's Guide
The accompanying teacher's guide, written by Bobbie Malone
and Kori Oberle, helps students grasp fully the rich content
of Native People of Wisconsin. The guide offers more structured
activities that reengage students in the text itself in a manner
that diverges from teacher's guides to our earlier publications.
Activities for each chapter focus on interdisciplinary standards-related
reading strategies, journaling, and other multidimensional skills
that both reinforce and complement the content of the text.
Included with the teacher's guide is an accompanying CD-ROM,
produced specifically for Native People of Wisconsin of segments
from several of the video series on Wisconsin Studies produced
by the Wisconsin Educational Communications Board. Such interactive
learning integrates reasoning and reading skills (and state
standards) beyond the social studies and promise to make Native
People of Wisconsin an essential part of the classroom curriculum.
It will be available by November 1, 2003, and you can order
it now.
