PART TWO: 
We will begin our study of Native American Literature by watching Miss Lamb's Prezi and taking notes. 

Here is a link to the Prezi:  http://prezi.com/92orng31evry/native-american-literature/?auth_key=13822d7ede81934a12a4eac7b7507a58684af8c2 

And a copy of the notes page is included below.
