Welcome back after the Fourth of July holiday,
I want to share a Teaching Channel video that I watched over the weekend that illustrates specific ways to expand student’s thinking. The video shows the highlights of a unit on Revolution, Reaction and Reform and covers several classes. The objectives of the unit include learning about and understanding terminology, historical concepts, abstract concepts and personal connections. While the class in the video is 4th grade classroom, the framework of the lesson would be applicable for any grade level. I believe that the lesson could be a definite success for adults and certainly for English Language Learners. Watching this video was inspirational for me. What do you think?
