Jen Birch's video Lesson Plan (Kim's Comments) Jen - I really like your lesson plan; however, I couldn't manage to view the video. (Could be my pc or the site.) Regardless, I think having the students actually plant the popcorn seeds makes the learning much more meaningful than simply reading or watching the process. Would you actually have the students pop their kernels in the end? Seems like it could be a neat way to wrap up the lesson. Good job =) Jim's (Bryan's Comments) I liked the idea of comparing the two candidates to one another. I know there was a lot of talk comparing Kennedy to Obama. I think this lesson allows students to make their own determinations. I think historically when you can show student actual accounts (in this case a video accounts), it makes history more real. The only additional thing I would like to see added to your lesson plan is the style and answer similarities and differences between Republican and Democrats of the different time periods.. Nick Straining's Lesson Plan Nick, I think your lesson is excellent. By using a venn diagram, the NARA analysis worksheet, and a KWL, you are really encouraging critical thinking. I also love how your lesson culminates with a debate. Just wondering how long your lesson will take to complete because it's so thorough--a week? a month? Great job!
