(Students will not be limited to the sources that I’ve provided.)

-The students in class will watch digital media in which I will provide and the students will have to take notes, provided that the topic being covered for the day will be for their presentation.
-The online articles that I will provide will be linked on my Bebo account where the students can access it and must read for class discussion.
-The students will need to record themselves using the digital camera to express their understanding of the event creatively using the media that I presented and articles (via re-enactment, documentary, produce an educational music video, or dance) to portray a significant event during the Civil War.
-The students will then use Moviemaker or any other digital editing device to edit their videos.

Require Learner Participation
-The students will be broken up into groups in which they will each share responsibilities in researching the appropriate information for their presentations.
-Each group will provide a sheet on the shared tasks. The sheet will include all the group member names and what are the assigned tasks each member decides to take up.
-Each group will be providing me a log sheet on the progress of their research by the end of the day. There will be two log sheets for the students, a physical log sheet that will be kept by the person who will be posting up the progress of the group.




-Basically the group as a whole will take note and reflect what they have done to the project.
-The person in charge of this sheet is also responsible for posting it online.
-This log sheet will just help the students with their time management and getting their project going.

The students points will be based on how well they presented their information. The maximum points that will be received for the groups would 16 points for the presentation.
