Students start with books on p. 154 and listen to the question. The first student to answer the question correctly receives one point for their team. The student that answered the question correctly has the opportunity to earn an extra point for their team by shooting the basketball into the hoop from the free throw line.

2. Students will choose whether or not to work with a partner on the assessment. 3. Administer Unit 3 Test. See more instructions below. 4. Collect Unit 3 Test. 5. Closure: Discuss how students felt about the test and answer any further questions students have F. Assessment: What will you use to measure student understanding? I will use the Unit 3 Test in order to assess students understanding of the concepts. Students will choose to either work individually or with a partner to complete the assessment. They will also be allowed to use their textbook for this assessment. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. Students will be able to describe the social, political, and religious lives of the people in the English Colonies as well as identify the people who founded the American colonies through their answers on the Unit 3 Test. G. Reflection: 1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach? The Basketball Review Game will be the easiest to teach. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? The rules of the Basketball Review game will be the most challenging to teach. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? If necessary, I can extend this lesson by going on a virtual field trip through the colonies (http://www.pbs.org/wnet/colonialhouse/history/voyage.html). 4. What can you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? After the test is graded, as a whole class we will go over the correct answers.

5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I do not believe any part of this lesson needs to be changed. I think having the students work with a partner to complete the test is the best idea because this unit has so much information. I think students will learn a lot from working with partners. 6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? The most difficult part of this lesson plan was definitely the standard. I had such a hard time finding one standard that would meet the goals of this lesson in a comprehensive manner so I decided two would fit this lesson best.
