Hook: The hook for this lesson is a brainpop video. In these videos animated characters Tim and Moby explain key concepts about the history of Egypt. These videos are both engaging and informative. The videos also simplify the academic language so that the students can grasp the content of the lessons. Instruction Input: The students will also be asked key questions about the previous chapter (What was diplomacy and how did it relate to Egypt? What does the term dynasty and how did it apply to Egypt's old kingdom? What was their written language called and paper like material did they use to keep records upon? What are some of ancient Egypt's architecture? It is important to review because this helps access prior knowledge from the previous chapter. Then I will have students silently read the first page of the chapter and then make predictions about what the chapter. I will also front load key academic terms from the lesson prior to reading. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1RvyCzDL3Z7kMJHw1a9p6D_STTNHhXBhHt1J8VeR Vf6Q/edit?usp=sharing Modeling: I will model fluent reading of chapter and then I will popcorn to students in class to read aloud. This is important because many of the students are not fluent readers and do not like to speak in front of the class. It is standards based to be able to effectively communicate and read fluently. During this time, I will introduce the students Ancient Egypt research project. On the research paper the students must choose 5 topics based upon Ancient Egyptian history. Two of the people they must choose to research is Rameses the Great and Queen Hatshepsut. The other three topics are their choice. The students have the freedom to use various types of media sources to add to their presentation. In their presentation they must have pictures that can be drawn and colored or pictures used from creative commons, clipart etc. The students can add videos and powerpoints to their research projects to enhance their subject topics. The students must also have a title page and a works cited page. During this time I will show students how to do MLA format using the Purdue website Purdue and using the Easy Bib website. In addition I will show students the Creative Commons search engine and how to do a safe search on google. https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15NPAa3toT6h8dNb8LB5XH_tfsjt03YbngR68wwQMW4/edit?usp=sharing To help the students collect resources as they are doing their research on their project. I will show the students how to use Evernote Web Clipper to save articles, videos. The students can save their web clippings into their Evernote account. Please note that you can get the chrome extension of the Evernote web clipper from the chrome store. Evernote web clipper Chrome ext. Ramses the Great (II) Evernote The small link (pbs.org) at the top left corner of the page will take you to the original page on Ramses the Great.

Guided Practice: With their table partners students will continue to explore on how to use creative commons and safe search on Google. During this time the teacher can walk around class and answer any questions. During the student's guided practice I will lead them through the lesson, stopping to ask key questions based upon what we covered for doing safe research. Its important for students to understand what it means to be a good digital citizen. Also during this time, I will have students pair share with their partners in short time increments about these questions. Guided practice is important because it gives students necessary support and scaffolding prior to being released to independent practice. The students will also receive additional support with their homework and review questions before taking it home to work on independently. Independent Practice: After guiding the students through the lesson and the homework the students will be released to independent practice where they can work at their desk quietly. Students will work on page 154 question 1-6 from their Reflections e- textbook. Homework: Students will complete questions 1-6 from the Reflections e- textbook and also will begin their research paper. The research paper is included below. Materials: chrome books, Reflections Digital textbook e-textbook
