We have now finished "Dances with Wolves" and today I did an whole lesson on Reservations Today. We talked about a bunch of different statistics and data about the reservations and then I specifically talked about the one I worked on in South Dakota by sharing stories and pictures.

The kids seemed to appreciate it, some questioned me about whether it was worth it or not. A valid question, they asked it appropriately though so it was OK. That got the class into a big debate which I was really happy to see.

Next week we start an Immigration Unit, so we'll be talking about a different population of people in America. It should get interesting.

Until then.
