Students will enter the project through a shared story circle, explore maps, music, oral history clips, and images, and record one question they want to investigate about resilience, survival, and community in Choctaw history.

Students will turn launch-day wonderings into focused investigation questions, make a simple evidence-based prediction, and build a credible plan for gathering details from maps, books, oral history clips, music, and images before beginning larger research work.

Students will sort and compare evidence from books, maps, music, and oral history clips, turn their findings into a timeline or map talk, and revise a short dramatic scene with teacher and peer feedback before a final performance checkpoint.

Students will share their final Choctaw resilience performances and evidence display with families and community partners, then reflect on how they used evidence, collaboration, and respectful storytelling.
