4C1+Lesson+Plan

Design a lesson plan using __**both**__ photographs and posters.

Consider the following questions in your plan:
 * What method will students use to analyze the photos and posters? (SEA or NARA worksheet)
 * Will your students use a graphic organizer like a KWL chart or Venn diagram?
 * What final product will your students create, if any?
 * How will your activity promote critical thinking skills?
 * How will this lesson integrate with the rest of your curriculum?


 * Create a new page (a Wiki Link) for yourself using the Insert Link button on the Editor tool bar.** (You'll need to name the link-something like Laura's Lesson Plan and then give the page a name (again something like Laura's Lesson Plan) Post your lesson plan on this new page.

Provide feedback to at least one of your peers on their lesson plan.

Jim Reese'a Lesson Plan Hi Jim, I really like your campaign posters that you are using in your lesson. I think by analyzing them using the SEA and NARA, students definitely will have a great idea of the key issues that surrounded the election. All of that will tie into the "whys" of the Civil War. I love learning about the Civil War and Abe Lincoln. Let me know when you're teaching your lesson and I'll swing by. :)

Jen Birch's Lesson Plan Kim Flick's response ~ I find your use of "family" pictures quite interesting when teaching fact families. Anytime students make a personal connection, learning is much more likely to occur. Another neat idea would be to have the students bring in pictures of their family from home. Have you taught this lesson before? And if not, will you? =)

Kim's Poster and Photo Lesson Plan I think you students would really learn a lot from your lesson especially looking for hidden meaning in advertising and always looking for the angle that advertises are looking to push for people to buy their products. I like the idea of having the students pick what they think the definition of beauty is and then comparing that to the Hollywood version.

Nick Straining's Propaganda Lesson Bryan's response: I think it is interesting that you have split the analysis between both sides of the war. It is always pertinent to look at both sides of an issue, even when we may disagree with a particular side. Also, I would like to see the final project selections, and the rational in regards to why a student chooses either allies or axis.

Bryan's Lesson Plan Jim's response: When I first looked at the picture of the city, I remembered by economic geography class in which we had to plan a city. That lesson will develop great higher level thinking skills. Great idea in analyzing two totally different photos.
