Today we had a special presentation by Will. He brought in Iroquois arrowheads for us to study, and he taught us everything he could about them. We were filled with questions, and we got several great ideas for our historical fiction pieces.

Teaching our Partners All About the Iroquois
Since we're becoming experts on the Iroquois, we know we can't just keep what we've learned to ourselves. We're learning how to effectively teach our partner what we've learned. Here are some tricks we've already picked up:
1) Use a teaching voice. You've got to sound like an expert when you talk.
2) Have one main focus. Make sure you have lots of evidence to support your focus.
3) Use visuals to support your teaching. You can use visuals that you create in your Social Studies notebook or the visuals from books.
Click play to watch two students teach the class what they've learned about the Iroquois! What did you learn from the videos? What questions do you have for the presenters?
