Lesson Plans 1-3

Using backward design methods I wanted to create engaging lessons for students while meeting state standards for social studies. throughout these lessons, students will engage in their own learning and with their peers. These lessons include activities designed to get students active as well as actively thinking and learning about American history. Students will show focus on analyzing primary and secondary sources while evaluating themes.
