Read Kansas! - Middle School

M-14 Territorial Characters

The purpose of this lesson is to familiarize students with some of the people of Kansas Territory. The students will work cooperatively to read 10 biographical cards and summarize main ideas, events, and important details. Each student will further summarize the materials by creating cards to play “Who am I?” This is a game that rewards knowledge about the territorial characters. The lesson as written will take four class periods but can be modified to meet the teacher’s needs.
