Lesson 8 :

Title of lesson:

Description of lesson: Today's class time will be spent researching. After learning about the battles of the civil war in the previous lesson, the students will pick a battle and make an animoto slideshow about it.

Assignment: The assignment is to research a battle of the Civil Car and make a picture slide show with their voices in the background talking about the war. In-class students will use computers to find pictures that are from the battles and then use animoto.com to make their videos. media type="custom" key="11872270" Resources/materials needed: Students will need to use their textbooks and the internet to find information about the battle of their choice. Students will also need to use computers to find picture and make their slide show using animoto.com.
 * This is an example of an animoto video on the Battle of Gettysburg.

Technology reflection: By making these videos students will be able to learn in many different ways. they will learn by writing and recording their script for the video, and by seeing the pictures along with their voice they can really put their words into the pictures.

Evaluation: The concerns i have are that the students will get off task using the computers and might not find enough pictures
