Lesson Plan

Pilgrim and Wampanoag Daily Life for Grades 3-5

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Thirteen steps make up a lesson that challenges pupils to compare and contrast the daily lives of Pilgrims and the Wampanoag tribe. Learners revisit the Graffiti Wall then break into small groups for an investigative reading assignment in which participants gather information, discuss their findings, and complete a Venn diagram. Scholars look further into the Wampanoag culture then complete a multiple-choice quiz.
