Lesson Plan Summary
Standard 3
Students will investigate the diffusion and interaction of cultures from the Classical Period through the Age of Discovery.
Objective 2
Assess the influence of advancing technologies on the development of societies.
• Identify the significant technological developments in Tang China.
• Investigate key technologies that diffused to Europe from Asia; e.g., gunpowder, printing.
• Explain the consequences of the cannon and the longbow on European warfare and society.
• Analyze the impact of movable type printing on Europe
My lesson plan will give the students a better understanding of the interaction between Europe and Asia from the Classical Period to the Age of Discovery. This assignment is geared toward high school world history students.
The students will be required to make a five minute digital film presenting their research. A film will allow the students to use their creative energy in studying and presenting what can be referred to as “dry material”. Because the students are presenting their work to the class they will have a vested interest in learning the material. When I present the object of this assignment I will show the class an example of a film that I have made.
To help the students in their research I will give the teams a study guide so they will know the important points to touch upon in their film.
The students will spend four weeks working on a group project in which they will present to the class what they have learned about their assigned topic.
• The first week, students will be placed in groups and choose the topic they want to research. Over the course of that week they will be required to do all their research for their film. At the end of that week the teams will turn in a synopsis of what their research has uncovered.
• Over the second week the teams are to write a script and storyboard ideas for their films. I will spend part of the lecture time discussing the nature and purpose of storyboarding. The students will also learn how to use Mini-DV cameras and will begin filming over this second week. At the end of the week, students are required to turn in a script and their storyboards.
• The third week will be altogether consumed with filming. At the end of the week students will be required to submit a copy of some of the footage they have been filming.
• Over the fourth week the students will be using I-Movie to edit their visual masterpieces. Time will be devoted over the first three weeks to teach the students how to use the I-Movie software. On the last day of the fourth week and the first day of the fifth week the teams will present their films.
The films will be graded primarily on how well they covered their assigned information. Creativity and technique will also be under scrutiny. Throughout the course of these four weeks I will present PowerPoint lectures equipped with the requisite pictures and animations that will serve as a basic framework for the students’ research.
