Opening Activity
¨ How will you activate student interest?
An opening activity in the beginning of class, I would like to layout a continent on each table and on the main board, place the
question, “Where do you think the protestant reformation first happened? Stand by the continent which you think this started
in.” then the students will stand by each continent and I will reveal the answer once all students are in place. After I would like
to show a John Greene Crash Course video on the Protestant Reformation, to sum up what we will be discussing.
¨ How will you connect and uncover prior knowledge?
Students will be given an opportunity to express what they may know about the protestant reformation, and the video will be
an opener to what will be discussed in class.
¨ How will you present the lesson objective in an engaging and student-friendly way?
Crash course videos by John Green are engaging with animation, humor, and student friendly effects.
