I'm writing a Lesson plan and need to get students involved?

An appropriate artifact, a photo, sound bite of traditional music or vocabulary, part of a costume - anything that will "hook" their attention. Just a great question will do to focus attention.

i do no longer comprehend a pair of lesson plan, yet attempt paying for or renting a British television series noted as the international at conflict. It grow to be made returned interior the 1970's and is seen to be notably lots the definitive paintings on WWII. It covers all factors of the conflict and is going into various element. The series is attainable on DVD.

I have always found that kids seem to focus more when there is hands on learning. Maybe you could divide the students into 2 groups, Americans and Indians. You could have them live pre-contributions and then exchange contributions and then live post contributions and then discuss the pros and cons of each lifestyle

Give them a question to answer, could even be T/F or multiple choice. Then have them discuss it with a neighbor. Maybe take a vote or share their reasoning with the class, and then you can share the detailed version of the answer or continue with the rest of the lesson.

Take candy (chocolate) with you- just in case. Candy works with people of all ages- I used to teach college psychology. Tossing a piece of candy to someone who shares an answer gets a lot more hands raised!

Pow Wow?
