In honor of Thanksgiving, I wanted to post our latest social studies lesson and project. 4th graders in Ohio need to be familiar with the Native American tribes in Ohio, how they got here, how they lived, and why they left. During my student teaching 5 years ago I created this project, and have done this in many different variations for each of the grades I have taught. Now that I teach fourth grade again, and probably will for a while now, it is a staple in my unit. Students are separated into 6 groups, and then assigned a tribe. After they are assigned their tribe, I call them that tribe to help get them in the mood. I give them copies of internet pages on their tribe, as well as research books (including textbooks) that they can use to research their tribes. I give them a list of questions to go by to make sure they have the essentials: food, clothing, shelter, famous chiefs, religious ceremonies, year they were around, why they left. They fill out their fact sheet, which takes about one to two days. Once they finish their research, I give them a puzzle piece. They decorate this puzzle piece with pictures and captions to share their research. When they present their information we put the pieces together, which forms Ohio. But each piece is the region in Ohio where the tribe lived. The students then use this to compare the tribes: Students love this project each year :) A quick shout out to my husband...Happy Birthday Honey!

from original paintings by Bryan Fosten. A Shawnee Warrior, Private-4th Regiment of U.S. Infantry, 1812. The Shawnee were a leading tribe of the Algonquin family and their chief, Tecumseh, sought to create a great Indian state in the Ohio Valley and Great Lakes region by uniting all the tribes under one leader. After the defeat of the Shawnee by the U.S. Army at Tippecanoe, Indiana, in 1811, Tecumseh sided with the British in the War of 1812. He was appointed a Brigadier-General in the British Army in command of 2,000 Indians opposed to the United States, and was killed at the Battle of The Thames, October 5th, 1813. The 4th Regiment of United States Infantry was victorious at Tippecanoe but surrendered to British General Isaac Brock and Tecumseh at Detroit, August 1812.
The “battle” was a slaughter. With tactical surprise and leadership disruption taking their toll, St. Clair’s force of 2,000 broke and ran. The Indians got amongst the camp followers, killing more than 600 soldiers and non-combatants and wounding some 300 more. It was the worst defeat suffered by an American force up to the Civil War. In terms of loss-to-strength proportions, it probably ranks as the worst defeat in U.S. history.
