Grade 4, Module 1
Each MODULE provides 8 eight weeks of instruction, broken into three shorter units. Each module includes seven assessments:
• six assessments that are on-demand: students’ independent work on a reading, writing, speaking, or listening task. (The yearlong curriculum map does not show these assessments.)
• one end-of-module performance task that is a more supported research project
Taken as a whole, these modules are designed to give teachers concrete strategies to address the “shifts” required by the CCLS.

Unit 1: In this first unit, students read, write, listen, and speak to begin to understand the founding and structure of the Haudenosaunee, or Iroquois, Confederacy.
Unit 2: In the second unit, students read additional informational text to deepen their knowledge of Native Americans in New York with a focus on determining main ideas and supporting details, note-taking, using context clues to determine word meanings, fluency, and paragraph writing.
Unit 3: In the third unit, students will build on the themes from Unit 2’s Eagle Song. They will read and interpret data related to conflict and bullying in school, and study magazine articles related to bullying and conflict resolution. Students will discuss what is going well in their school as well as imagine how the learning environment might change if a document such as the Iroquois Constitution were put into place and upheld by all members of the school community. Working with a partner, students will reflect on the conflict resolution strategies they read about and develop a section for a constitution that would help to resolve the issues presented in the data.
