This PowerPoint presentation instructs students in the Native American oral tradition. I teach it using "The Sky Tree" and "Coyote Finishes His Work", but other Native American stories are discussed. This PowerPoint does not require that you teach the same stories that I teach; it covers general Native American traditions and is 20 slides long, offering a comprehensive look at characteristics that comprise Native American stories. It also includes basic notes from the instructor where appropriate, offering ideas or further explanation. I added seven more slides that include five questions/activities for the top five levels of Bloom's Taxonomy.
As always, I try to keep my PowerPoint presentations to a price that is between 0.30 and 0.50 per slide, and I never charge over 0.50 per slide.
If you would like to request a PowerPoint over a specific subject related to History, Writing, or Literature (of any sort), please email me at rutherfordj2@k12tn.net. I cannot promise that I will be able to make the presentation for you, but if I have time or if I have something similar that I can modify for you, I will happily create it and make it available on this site for roughly the price scale I would otherwise use.

I am in my fifth year of teaching at Houston County High School in Erin, Tennessee. I taught Regular & Inclusion English III (Juniors) for four years; College (English 1010) & Honors English III (Juniors) for four years; College (English 1020) & Honors English IV (Seniors) for four years; and Regular & Inclusion English IV (Seniors) for one year. This year, I began teaching the Regular & Inclusion English IV, instead of Regular & Inclusion English III. I have taught English 1010 as an adjunct at Austin Peay State University for two years.
