__**Teacher Task**__

For this Unit I usually use Social Studies Solutions United States History Notebook created by Jason Adams. The pages used are pages 54-62. Usually I go over one page a day with students, looking at images, videos, and discussing the notes in further detail.

However, for this unit I am going to assign a page in Social Studies Solutions United States History Notebook created by Jason Adams to each student ( I have a small class of only 9 students) If you have a larger class you could assign two students to each page as partners or you could divided the pages in two and assign a half of page to each student. Teachers must explain fully what each student is to do and explain the rubric. What each student should do is listed below. Here is a few examples of work to show each student about what their assignments might look like:

this link is a Prezi and it is about the Cold War, it coincides with page 59 in the students note book which is covered in this unit

[]

this link is and example of a glogster and is about the 1980's and coincides with page 74 in students note books []

The use of multimedia tools to present and have students teach the class is a great resource. Learners can use these tools to effectively and efficiently meet the instructional objectives ask of them from the state. These tools will help the create their own form of information to share with the world. They must apply the information learned and evaluate its worth in terms of sharing their projects with the class. Using these tools will force students to interpret valuable knowledge before sharing these tools. Tools like Glogster or moive maker can make students who have a hard time reading or standing in front of the class to present more confident in their abilities and knowledge. Other tools such as prezi and google docs also allow a certain depth in design and creativity. Overall using technology to explore and have students teach each other about WWII provides them with greater understanding of the goals required of them.

- Students will use their text book, notebook, and internet sources to research the information that is on their assigned page. - Students will choose one of the following multimedia tools to present their page to the class: - Students will create a multimedia presentation to teach their page and information to the rest of the class. - Students will present their multimedia presentation to the class. -Students should post their presentations or links to their presentations on the class Wiki. -Students will be graded on the following rubric:
