The bibliographic essay will be done in conjunction with your curricular module on an Indigenous tribe in North America. The process of putting together a body of diverse source materials and then making sense of them yourself should help you figure out how to teach about an Indigenous community to your students, who may or may not have much knowledge about or experience with Native peoples. The bibliographic essay and Phase II of your Curricular Module should, too, help you become more familiar and comfortable with Indian Education for All. Please use the guidelines below and if you have any questions, please ask.
When you are ready to submit the essay on 10 March 2014, save it as a .DOC or DOCX with a file name using this format: first name.last name.bibessay. Then, upload it to Moodle.
Bibliographic Essay
The essay should be in standard essay format: double spaced, 1 inch margins, and in a readable (un-ornate) font with citations (parenthetical notes or footnotes) in MLA or Chicago 16 style. Your essay should include each of the sections below.
Introduction: What tribe are you researching, and what do you want to learn about them?
Section: What do you know about the tribe? How do you know it?
You can organize this section by theme.
What you know should be tied to specific sources through discussion and citations.
Section: What do you know that you don’t know?
What are the known limitations of your knowledge and understanding about the tribe you are studying?
How do you know these are your limitations?
How might you resolve these limitations?
Conclusion: How are you structuring (and revising) student learning in your curricular module? Why?
Curricular Module Phase II {sources & materials}
In this phase of the Curricular Module, you will compile an annotated list of literature and primary source materials that will serve both as the foundation for the Module as well as your bibliographic essay. In this phase, you will identify (or revise) the essential and historical questions that ground the Curricular Module. To help you determine whether or not sources are respectful and appropriate to use with students, please vet them through oyate.org (using the “How to Tell the Difference” tool) and Prof. Debbie Reese’s site, American Indians in Children’s Literature.
When you are ready to submit Phase II on 12 March 2014, save it as a DOC or DOCX with a file name using this format: first name.last name.phase2. Then, upload it to Moodle.
