This document provides an outline for a lesson plan for an 11th grade AP U.S. History class. There are 22 students from various backgrounds. The objectives are for students to recognize events shaping American motives in war and military prowess by commenting on a blog, creating a Glogster displaying their understanding of the American army, and discussing the meaning of a Photoshop image. Methods will include Glogster and blog projects followed by group discussions. Students will be required to participate in discussions and complete projects, which will be assessed along with informal exit slips to evaluate learning and need for revision.

1. Tuesday Assure
A. Analyze Learners---Students are 11th
graders in an advanced placement U.S. History course.
These students are 16 to 17 years old. There are 10 male students and 12 female students. Of
those students 7 are Hispanic, 5 are transfer students from England, and 10 Caucasian. Some
students are kinesthetic learners while others are visual.
S. State Objectives---Students will recognize and describe events that shaped American motives
in the war and their military prowess by: commenting on my blog and then creating their own.
Students will then through my example create a Glogster that displays their understanding of the
American army. Lastly they will discuss possible meanings from my image created through
Photoshop. This information will reinforce prior knowledge and provide a foundation of
information that will lead up to the war itself with 90% accuracy within the school day.
S. Select Methods, Media, Materials---The methods used for this day will be projects via
Glogster, and Blogger then group discussions from my Photoshop image. Materials needed will
be access to the internet.
U. Utilize Media and Materials--- After initial review of monad via discussion, students will be
assigned to create their projects on Glogster and Blogger as well as their discussion from
Photoshop. Desks will be set up in a circle or group setting to allow group participation and
discussions.
R. Require Learner participation---Students will be required to be involved with group
discussions about the image as well as encouraged to ask questions about anything interesting or
confusing to the individual. Participating in these projects will allow students to have a variety of

2. methods to help learn the material. Lastly, there will be informal exit slip to assess the students’
retention from the discussion. Projects assigned will be assessed as well to look at application.
E. Evaluate and Revise---To assess the students I will observe each students input during the
discussion and observe the assigned projects to observe the students’ application. Throughout the
week I will assign projects and use auditory questionnaires to see if progress is being made. At
the end of the week the students will be assessed through their assigned projects.
