Learning Objectives:

The students will create their own interpretations of the past, as well as learn how to identify their own positions, interest, ideologies, and assumptions. They will relate these ideas to their learning about the Executive Branch of the United States.

Common Core/Crosswalk Reading strategies are now a part of the Social Studies Standards Curriculum. Teaching students various types of knowledge can help them to better understand the perspective of our ethnic Dine people and Dine government, to develop their own versions and interpretation of issues and events. Students will reconstruct knowledge applying the historical, cultural, political, and creative context and be responsive to cultural authority. Transformative typology is connecting the cultural background of the students to bring the learning into the hearts of the students.

Students will understand the foundations, principles, and institutional practice of the United States government. They will be able to compare and contrast it to the Dine Nation government as a representative democracy and constitutional republic. The hope is to bridge the gap between the worlds.
