The lesson I have planned for today is on the American Revolutionary War. Students will read the summary on the war and then they will use their laptops to view the timeline of the war. After they look over the timeline we will have a class discussion on how they think the war began and ended. They will read their texts and at the end of class we will dicuss what they read and if any of their assumptions on how the war began and ended has changed. I will assign homework for them to re-read what they have read in class, then they will have to go on Edmodo and take a poll on how long they think the war lasted, yes they could google the answer to find out exaclty how long the war was, but they will be making the extra effort to read how long it lasted and by the time we get that far they will know and retain that information.
