24. Teacher Script (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Lectures should accompany the project, but the project in itself should be student driven. It may be necessary to remind students how to use the internet, and also talk about the validity of certain websites. This is a good time to talk about secondary sources and primary sources and the worth of both. One walk through of the WebQuest is recommended so that the students understand how to use it.

25. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Make sure that the point is made that Native American history is a fluid subject. It continues today, and the students should be encouraged to continue their self driven, educational success beyond what is taught to them in the classroom. Point out what the students have learned. Not the facts they have obtained but the skills they have learned to obtain those facts. Example: Researching, Cooperation, Group Collaboration, Team Work, Opinion Making, Factual Support Tactics Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
