explain and describe events that occurred during the end of the Reconstruction and

the effects they have on various people.

G. Reflection:1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?

This entire lesson should be pretty easy to teach. The lesson gives students a lot of

freedom to make their own choices on activities to complete which should be fun

too.

2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach?Because we have not seen a Reconstruction period like this in a long time, I think

some of the various events might be difficult for students to fully comprehend since

they are not familiar.

3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson?

The follow up for this lesson will be in a formal assessment based on the content of

the entire unit.

4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts?I will answer all questions and misconceptions students have through small group or

one-on-one time with students.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change?I dont think any part of the lesson needs to change. The activity might take longer

than a day to complete though.

6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part?The most difficult part of writing this lesson was coming up with an activity that had

an appropriate connection to the lesson. We have done a lot of different activities

throughout the lesson and coming up with something different was difficult.
