FY25 Unit 3 Grade 2.pptx.pdfDuring this third unit, the students will be comparing and contrasting the lives and lifestyle of the two Georgian Tribes: the Creek and the Cherokees. They will recall what they learned during the first unit on the geographical features of Georgia and see how these have influenced the way the Native Americans have lived in our state. They will describe the Creek and Cherokee cultures of the past in terms of tools, clothes, homes, ways of life, and accomplishments. They will then study the lives and contributions of some of the historical figures in Georgia history including James Oglethorpe, Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, and Sequoyah.
