“I can synthesize my observations”

Today we will start our next unit. We will be studying a conflict that:• Is in our state• Is environmental, cultural, historical, and legal• Involves Native Americans and European

Americans• Is still going on right now!

You will have to figure out the rest by synthesizing observations to come to an interpretation:• You will see a series of photos from 1999• I will ask you to stop and answer “What’s Going

on?” at various points

see think wonderValuable skillsWhy looking at conflict is good/transferable

Okay to say “as far as I know, this is what I believe” Interpretations are opinion and when you fess up to

only knowing so much, you open up the conversation and allow people to offer information to add to your understanding.
