Warm Up (10mins):

Video Analysis is a simple critical-viewing strategy to guide students’ analysis of media. This protocol prompts students to focus on significant information from a video by responding to essential or guiding questions. Using essential or guiding questions can help students engage more deeply with the video and process key information more thoughtfully.

Step 1: Review guiding questions. Each student will select (2) questions to focus on while engaging in the warm-up video.

• 1. How did white plantation owners and missionaries attempt to overthrow the Hawaiian ali’i (sacred nobility)?
• 2. How did Hawai'i become a territory of the United States? *lesson supporting question
• 3. How did Queen Liliʻuokalani inspire and fight for the Hawaiian people?
• 4. How do you think this history affects Native Hawaiians today?

Step 2: Students will view the warm-up video twice and allow time for student share out

• First Viewing: watch and listen, keeping selected guiding questions in mind
• Second Viewing: record responses and reflections to selected questions in class Jamboard

Step 3: Teacher summarizes pertinent background information as a transition into the lesson.

• This can be presented in a few bullet points for students
• Use the PBS The Overthrow of Queen Lili‘uokalani resources to construct bullet points

Teacher Considerations....

• Answers can be written or oral
• Circulate to prompt on-task behavior

Word-Phrase-Sentence Activity (10mins):

Word-Phrases-Sentence routine provides structure for a conversation. It can be used as both a discourse and as a thinking routine. This routine helps learners engage with and make meaning from text with a particular focus on capturing the essence of the text or “what speaks to you.” However, the power and promise of this routine lies in the discussion of why a particular word, a single phrase, and a sentence stood out for each individual in the group as a catalyst for discussions.

Step 1: Students will divide into even groups to review the text “Remembering a Hawaiian Hero: Haunani-Kay Trask and Her Fight for the Rights of Native Hawaiians” and select:

• A Word that captured the group's attention or struck the group as powerful.
• A Phrase that moved, engaged, or provoked the group.
• A Sentence that was meaningful to the group, that the group felt captures the core idea of the text

Step 2: Each group will discuss internally and record choices within class Jamboard

Step 3: As a whole class, allow groups to share words, phrases, and sentences as well as the thinking behind their choices

• Have groups explain why they made the selections they did

Step 4: Once groups have shared, students will answer remaining lesson supporting questions on class Jamboard

• Based on what you’ve learned: What are the goals of Hawaiian sovereignty?
• Based on what you’ve learned: How did Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask’s life & work support the values of Hawaiian sovereignty?

Teacher Considerations….

• Allow (5) minutes for group exploration of text
• All students should have editing access to Jamboard
• Word-Phrase-Sentence protocol should be posted for reference
• Circulate to promote on-task behavior
• Allow time for group share-outs. Not all groups will share.
• Supporting question will serve as transition to closing activity

Sovereignty Snapshot (10min):

Students will create a “snapshot” collage of relevant imagery, words, phrases, or other artistic components that illustrates their learning about Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask and modern Hawaiian sovereignty movements

Step 1: Students independently view “Native Hawaiians fighting U.S. occupation”

Step 2: Using the provided Sovereignty Snapshot Template, students will gather at least (4) images and (3) key words or phrases relevant to modern Hawaiian sovereignty and the work of Dr. Haunani-Kay Trask to create their collage

Teacher Considerations….

• Ensure students have access to snapshot template
• Consider creating an exemplar to model proper completion of the collage
• Provide links to photo databases or suggestions for Google image searches to support students
