The Corps as Community

Summary
Except for a few individuals who choose to remain alone, everyone is part of a community. For most people, this is such a natural state of affairs that the benefits of living in a community are often taken for granted. In this lesson and follow-up activities, students investigate the structure and characteristics of a community. Their conclusions are then applied to the Corps of Discovery and to Indian tribes encountered by the Corps.

A Word For Teachers About Using This Curriculum Guide
Lesson plans and activities in this curriculum guide have been planned to accommodate a wide range of student interests and capabilities rather than imposing a rigid age/grade structure upon the materials. We encourage teachers to adapt the materials according to the needs, interests, and capabilities of their classes. Even the diagram below should be taken as an approximation. After all, no one knows your students better than you do.
