I liked the graphics that you chose for this blog post. The layout is very nice! I also thought it was a nice idea that you listed some facts about Lincoln to give a quick overview of who he was.
ReplyDeleteGreat Job!! I like the layout as well, the use of color was phenomenol! I like how the objectives and what students will learn were completely laid out!!.. The only area of concern for me was the bias factor. Although, Abraham Lincoln was a major player in the Civil War by excluding any major players from the Confederate side, it could give the impression of teacher bias. You heavily favor the Union position. A nice contrast may have been to have a fact sheet on Robert E. Lee or some other confederate general.
ReplyDeleteI like the detail provided in your objectives. I also really liked the visuals.
ReplyDeleteI like the set up of your blog and the different mediums you used. However, I would like to see more of how your lesson would play out rather then just the content.
ReplyDeleteI like that your blog was to the point, but combined with valid details and great graphics. I would like to know how you would introduce the lesson to the students.
ReplyDeleteYour objecives are spot on. Tells what the students will be able to do after the unit and how they will be incooperating it. I like the one objective having students be able to share personal reflections from large and small groups.
ReplyDeleteThe photos, supplemented with a chart, is a great way to capture the students imagination. Great lesson idea!
ReplyDeleteI really like how you have your blog set up with a lot of pictures and bulletpoints.
ReplyDeleteI like the picturs and timeline you included. I think you state good objectives but I think you should include more detail on student activies.
ReplyDeleteI like your plan to have students conduct their own research. It's good preparation for college writing courses.
ReplyDeleteGreat use of pictures and graphic organizers! I think that students would find this lesson very interesting due to the fact that it gives them the chance to share there own ideas pertaining to the Civil War.
ReplyDeleteYour layout is awesome! I like that it is straight to the point and easy to follow. I think the graphics you chose were right on and relay what you are trying to say very well.
ReplyDelete7th and 8th grade history class is where i began my taste for the American Civil War. Teaching the civil war through graphics, videos, maps, really helps young students understand one of the most significant periods in our American history. The suggestion i could make here, is allow for your students to create a letter in the perspective of either a supporter of the north or south. This will enable the students to dive fully into your lesson in the correct mind frame.
ReplyDeleteI thought the layout was fantastic, also the graphics, well done. The only thing I could say is maybe give a little more detail to the process of how the lesson plan is going to flow.
