Meet the Pilgrims and Wampanoag!

This unit was developed to include many of the instructional shifts of the Common Core. I wanted my students reading text closer to their level about Pilgrims and the Wampanoag so they could answer text-based questions. I couldn’t find something at a first/ second grade level so I decided to write my own and created 3 different levels of the same reader. I also wanted my students to be developing their own ideas about Pilgrims and the Wampanoag so I included opportunities for comparisons among the two groups as well as Pilgrims to modern children. Thirdly, I wanted my students to form an opinion from the readings and be able to state text-based reasons in their writing.
