Summary and Lesson Closure

Flocabulary rap on the causes of World War One, summarize the main points of the lesson in review for the exit ticket
Formative Assessment - How will you conduct a quick assessment to determine who needs review or if this lesson needs to
be taught again in a different method. This need not be a test or quiz it can be a worksheet or other activity or an opportunity for
students to reflect on their learning (this could be oral, written, art, etc.)
Students will fill out class work assignment
Students will participate in kahoot.it exit ticket

Extension of learning- describe activities students can do (homework, online sites with games/tests) to practice their
skills? What would the next step be in the lesson/content? This will probably NOT be done in your lesson, but needs to
be present to encourage students to continue their learning.
Students will be able to engage in conversations corresponding with world war one, nations involved, and the causes of
the war. They will incorporate themes and other subjects theyve learned from todays class and implement them in
future learning environments.
