Universal Design for Learning (UDL): BrianPop is a tutorial based website that allows students to view videos
are many times as needed, allowing students to go back for various reasons. Whether a student is an ELL or if
a students has a learning based disability.
Engagement: Students will be allowed to explore BrainPop on their own. Students will be given the freedom
to watch any videos they choose so that they get familiar with how BrainPop works.
Representation: BrainPop has a variety of character that teach children the content of what they are learning
about.
Action and Expression: Students will watch the videos pertaining to their historical figure and use that
information to base their research paper. Students will then preset their research in a ‘museum’ setting by

and explain their research to other fourth grade classes.

Lesson idea implementation: Students will conduct research on people such as Susan B. Anthony, Fredrick
Douglass, Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Sojourner Truth, and Harriet Tubman. Students will begin conducting
research by using the website BrainPop. Students will watch videos on their assigned person and use a
graphic organizer to map out their research. The graphic organizer will be a tool for the students to use when
they type their papers or make their PowerPoints.
Students will make a paper or PowerPoint that will help them present information on their person. Students
will pretend to be a ‘wax figure’ of the person they do their research on. They will present their information
by dressing up as their person while another fourth grade class will walk around the class (museum) and listen
to the students research. In order to help the students present their information, they may have a pre-typed
script, a PowerPoint, Prezi, Weebly or any other display website.

Reflective Practice: This activity is forcing students to look at historical figures as people rather than just
textbook information. This lesson is made to engage students in the act of researching while also having
students think creatively. This activity introduces students to research and how to compose a research paper.
In an extension of this lesson I would like to find a way to share the projects with the whole school. I would
like students to use a Padlet or Weebly for their research so that they can be shared to other classes.
