 * Students are going to be studying about the American Revolution and the French Revolution. After the lessons they will have three main understanding about the Revolutionary Era. The first understanding will be that there are reoccurring themes between both the American Revolution and the French Revolution, students will need to identify these themes and be able to explain them thoroughly. The second understanding is that there was a major division in social status in both of the Revolutions and this division lead to the eventual outbreak of the war. The last understanding is that the France and America had major changes occur after their Revolutions and they also effected other countries during the war. Some essential questions should be considered when going through the lesson such as how were the themes of the Revolution viewed? Why were the different Revolutions started and what specific events lead to the eventual outbreak? How did societies change after the Revolution at home and in other countries? By the end of the lesson students will have a thorough knowledge about the main events of the Revolutions including dates and people. Students will also know about the sequence of time lines and how there was evidence of change over time during the war. Students will be able to talk about these different principles but they will demonstrate that through six different projects that will incorporate the entire lesson. These projects will vary from a movie to a interactive game to a online newspaper. Each activity will include a Type II technology to enhance student learning. Students will then be assessed on what they learned over all the lessons in order to show growth and understanding. The teacher will be constantly available for support and questions at the students' need.
