Hello Everyone!
I just wanted to say thank you to Vitamin D and JimmyJamison's Thanksgiving Day ppt lesson. It was beautifully done and I am so excited to use it in my classes. I did make a few changes to it like including actual photos of the Wampanoag Tribe on some of the slides. I also wanted to make a plea to everyone doing a Thanksgiving Day lesson. PLEASE, use the term Native Americans, or even better, say the Pilgrims learnt from the Wampanoag Tribe. Indian is a term that is both derrogatory and politically incorrect in American and fastly becoming so in the rest of the world to describe the tribal people of the Americas pre-Western settlement. We teach so much about the Pilgrims, who they are and how they were different from others in Europe, I think it is important that we do the same with the Wampanoag.
I am attaching my revised Thanksgiving story ppt. (I have yet to change the personal pics, so don't worry JimmyJamison, I will not try to pass your family off as mine!)
Thank you both again! And Happy Thanksgiving!
