This first lesson is designed to allow students to utilize and enhance their research skills through providing them with some primary and secondary sources while encouraging them to flesh out the subject and connections to the present. Students will also show what they know by teaching what they have learned in an innovative and creative presentation. In this lesson students will be separated into four demographic groups: Native American, African American, Asian, and Caucasain. Each group will be provided some primary and secondary sources as a starting point but should also do their own research to develop a thoughtful, creative, and educational presentation about the knowledge they gain to their peers.
