Over five weeks, fifth graders listen to and discuss reading passages that explore the connection between Native Americans and nature. Following daily readings, scholars practice word work, including prefixes, root words, suffixes, transitional words, and commas. Throughout the unit, learners follow the writing process to compose a final persuasive essay that looks at the relationship between Native Americans and the land on which they live.
