For my lesson plan I will separate students into groups of two-four (depending on how many students I have) and assign each group an event that led to the revolutionary war such as; The Sugar Act, The Stamp Act, etc. Once that is done I want my students to create a PowerPoint, video, or anything using technology that they will be able to teach the class with. At the end of this assignment students will present their topics to the class and understand them. This assignment will address the standard of Colonization to Independence. In other words, European countries established these colonies and the way they ruled caused the colonist to rebel. The ideas of the Enlightenment and dissatisfaction with colonial rule led English colonists to write the Declaration of Independence and launch the American Revolution.
This is an example of what I want to see from my students. I will show them this so they have an idea of what I'm looking for. It will hopefully answer all questions they have and let them know the type of information I'm interested in them teaching to the class. I tried to make it have good information but simple to make so they don't get overwhelmed.
This is the pre-assessment I plan of giving my student before this project and the chapter. It won't be worth points. I might give out a few bonus points for students who get a perfect. I just want to see where my students are when it comes to this subject. I want to know which students I will have to help the most and which topics are toughest for my students so I can spend the most time on the topic.
This is the homework assignment I will give to my students during this chapter. In the project I only make them focus on one event per group so in order for me to make sure they are still focusing on the rest of the chapter I will make all my students complete this assignment. This assignment will make sure they understand everything in the chapter and not just the one event I give them for their project. This assignment also will make them understand the vocabulary terms in this chapter.
