Universal Design for Learning (UDL): For ESL students, Brain POP can be translated into different language.
Also, for students who do not have technology at home, students will have time to create and research at the
school, using many different types of media from their choice. Students may also use headphones if they
need to be in their own headspace. Also, students can work with the teacher for assistance for any struggles
or difficulties with the project, materials, or technology.

Lesson idea implementation: The BrainPOP video will be used to introduce and being discussion about the
American Revolution. The teacher will present a timeline of the American Revolution, referring back to
BrainPOP, and also going over the important people involved in the American Revolution; before, during, and
after. Students will then choose a type of multimedia or aesthetic work to present key information about

parts and people of the American Revolution. Students will be able to use computers, art supplies, and other
resources within the school to complete their projects. A rubric will be followed as students create their
projects. They will include an important timeline of their topic, a picture summarizing their topic, and
important things that happened during the event or that their person had been a part of. There will be a
presentation of each project in the class. After the fact, student work will be posted on the teacher blog to be
shared with parents and viewers of the blog.

Reflective Practice: Extending this lesson and student work may include bringing in a history expert to discuss
important details that have been missed from these assignments. The historian could then also compare the
American Revolution to other wars in other countries or in other time periods to expand student horizons.
