You are preparing to teach a 5th grade social studies unit
on Jamestown and its first inhabitants. In this unit, you will introduce the
concept of shelter of both the Native Americans who occupied the area and that
of Jamestown’s first settlers. You realize that this is an important idea that
will need to be fully developed before the students begin the text sets you
plan to use.

Question:

What graphic organizer or vocabulary development technique
would you use to teach the concept of “shelter?”

Describe your instruction and tell why your technique would
be effective in giving students a deeper understanding of this concept before
you teach the unit.
