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.
