Histories are being rediscovered and revised. History told from an Indian perspective conflicts with what most of mainstream history tells us.” Learning Plan 1. Each student selects one photograph circa 1910 from the collection at the Polson-Flathead Historical Museum. 2. Create a digital copy of the photo 3. Analyze the photograph by taking written notes, following these steps: <blockquote>Observation: Describe exactly what you see in the photo. What people and objects are shown? How are they arranged? What is the physical setting? What other details can you see? Knowledge: Summarize what you already know about the situation and time period shown, and the people and objects that appear. Write what you conclude from what you see. Interpretation: What’s going on in the picture? Who are the people and what are they doing? What might be the function of the objects? What can we conclude about the time period? </blockquote> 4. Invite a panel of community elders to the classroom 5. Show individual student photos on a powerpoint. Each student will introduce his or her photograph based on the notes taken in step 3, and then invite the panel of elders to discuss (with an audio recorder) the photograph further, adding their own knowledge and interpretation 6. Each student will transcribe the portion of the interview that applies to his or her photograph 7. Each student will digitize a 1-3 minute audio segment to accompany his or her photograph 8. Each student will complete one web page that includes (a) the photograph (b) a 150-300 word interpretive text (c) a link to an audio file of an elder discussing the image 9. All members of the class will view all the web pages Assessment Evidence The completed web pages will be assessed according to classroom rubrics for research-based nonfiction writing. The website will also be assesses using the classroom rubric for website design. <a href="http://www.flatheadreservation.org/index.php/phs/iea_lesson_plan/">IEA Lesson Plan</a> sent from Michael L.
