Native American Conflicts

This week in social studies, the 7th graders are finishing up their unit about war with lessons about Native American conflicts and the War of 1812.  Students spent today reading several primary sources about how the United States government and Native American tribes disagreed about the idea of land ownership.  Tomorrow, they will participate in a socratic seminar where they will discuss the idea of who should own land and if the government was justified in their actions.  Later in the week, they will participate in a simulation about the War of 1812.  Students will take their quiz on these topics next Thursday and will write their in class essay about our war essential question next Friday.

Questions for your 7th grader:

  • Who has the right to own land?
  • Do you think the United States should have fought with Native American tribes over land?
Links to the primary sources:
  • Thursday, October 22  Native American Conflicts and War of 1812 Quiz
  • Friday, October 23       In class essay: "Does war ever have a positive outcome?"
