What This Standard Means
What Students Need to Do
- Students explain how fighting harmed English settlements and Tribal communities. They use a map and short accounts to identify destroyed homes, deaths, and displacement.
What Mastery Looks Like
- A student can describe damage to an English town and losses in a Tribal community during King Philip's War. They can use evidence to explain why the groups did not face the same long-term effects.
Common Misconceptions
- Students may think every Tribal nation fought the English, or that only settlers lost homes. Some assume both groups recovered in the same way, overlooking Native land loss and displacement.
How to Assess It
- Exit ticket: Name one loss in an English settlement and one loss in a Tribal community during King Philip's War. Explain one difference in their long-term effects.
Lesson moves
Ways to Teach It
Give pairs two short accounts of King Philip's War; have them mark damaged towns and Tribal homelands on a New England map.
Ask: How might losing a town differ from losing a homeland? Have students cite one detail from each account.
Sort four war fact cards under English settlements, Tribal communities, or both, then defend one placement.
Find Swansea, Massachusetts, on a current map, then locate it on a 1675 war map and read what happened there.
