John+Brown

Lesson #9

 Title of lesson: John Brown's War

 Description of lesson: Demonstration of Understanding  This lesson will likely be listened to at home on a computer, but it is also available on iTunes for free on most protable electronic devices as well, students without any of these media available will be given time in the computer lab, but the lesson is relatively short (roughly 12 minutes long to listen to)

 Assignment: (describe both in-class assignment and any homework):  Listen to the podcast, "Life and Times of John Brown", an edited reading from my research paper "John Brown's War", then write a 1-2 page paper regarding how one person can influence national or even global change.

 Resources/materials needed: (include books, internet sites, props, technology tools such as document camera, etc.) Students will need internet access or portable device that supports mp3 sound files.

Technology reflection:  This assessment will help students to articulate how one person can greatly affect history.

 Evaluation:  The only problem I predict is finding lab access for those without access to the internet.

This is my podcast series on the life and times of John Brown, enjoy.
