Content Objective
My objective with this unit is to bring rigor into the classroom by establishing questions that provoke higher order thinking, analytical discussions and verbal analogies that require inductive/deductive reasoning in the area of Dine History through the medium of the Dine Language. Therefore I have used the Higher Order Thinking verbs within my objectives to scaffold my curriculum unit so that one may lead into the next. The following are objectives per lesson leading to one complete unit on citizenship. Depending on the grade level and ability of the students, duration of lesson should take from a day to a week. This will carry out the unit to little over a month to complete. (Example: Lesson 1 = 1.)

- Students will identify and construct a model to depict the origin of maternal clan.
- Students will analyze the Treaty of 1868 and the Declaration of Independence.
- Students will propose and theorize a solution to Native American narratives that examine how Native American students dealing with the struggles of citizenship.
- Students will determine reasoning of personal upbringing and evaluate where history has made great impact on their personal self as a Citizen of the Navajo Nation and the United States of America. From this they will then proclaim citizenship and take on the responsibilities as citizens.
