01

What Students Need to Do

Students identify notable Oklahomans in science, technology, the arts, politics, and sports. They describe what each person achieved and explain how that work affected others.

02

What Mastery Looks Like

A student can explain that Sequoyah created the Cherokee syllabary and that Clara Luper led sit-ins against segregation in Oklahoma City. They can describe who benefited from each person's work.

03

Common Misconceptions

Students may name a job, such as astronaut, instead of an achievement. They may assume every notable Oklahoman was born in the state, rather than connected to it through their work.

04

How to Assess It

On an exit ticket, ask: “What did Clara Luper do in Oklahoma City, and what changed because of it?” Have students name one other Oklahoman and describe a specific achievement.

1. 01

   Give pairs name, achievement, and field cards for Sequoyah, Maria Tallchief, Clara Luper, and Jim Thorpe; have them build a matching chart.

2. 02

   Ask students to write two sentences explaining how Clara Luper's sit-ins and Sequoyah's syllabary helped people in different ways.

3. 03

   Play a clue game: read “Cherokee syllabary” or “Olympic medals,” and have teams name the person and explain the achievement.

   Show a photo of Oklahoma City's Clara Luper Corridor sign, then ask why the city chose to honor her.
