Process
__ Introduction __ – This lesson in a continuation of the previous day’s lesson. At the end of the previous class the teacher told the students an important name to remember (Father Miguel Hidalgo). To begin lesson, the teacher will ask the students to raise their hands if they remember the name of the person he or she asked them to remember yesterday. The teacher will call on students to tell the name from the end of the previous day’s lesson. After a few teacher responses the teacher will explain that today the students are going to learn about the importance of this man and what he did to help Mexico gain independence from Spain. However, before they begin the lesson the students will quickly review yesterday’s lesson. The teacher will ask several questions about the previous lesson, calling on different students to recall information. The teacher will ask the students to take out the timeline from yesterday, they are going to complete the timeline and notes today. __Implementation__ – The teacher will present the information, supplementing the lesson with a Power Point presentation. The teacher will introduce Father Miguel Hidalgo and the very important date; September 16, 1810. The teacher will discuss the Cry of Dolores and how this sparked the people of Mexico to revolt against Spanish rule. The teacher will discuss the events that led to Mexico ’s independence in 1821. The teacher will also present information about other important individuals (Benito Juarez, Francisco Madero, and Emiliano Zapata) and their role in the roots of modern day Mexico. This includes the Mexican Revolution. The teacher will briefly present information about the Mexican Revolution. During this time, students are participating through answering teacher questions, completing timeline, and adding important information to notes. At this point, the teacher will pass out the Brain Pop activity sheet “Mexican Revolution: Vocabulary”. The teacher will explain that as students watch the video they are to define the important words using their own words. They will also need to answer the question; ‘How did Mexico change as a result of the Mexican Revolution’? The students will view the Brain Pop video “Mexican Revolution”. As they view the video the students will complete the vocabulary activity. The teacher will pause the video and discuss important concepts and allow students extra time to complete answers in activity. The video lasts about five minutes and may need to be viewed two times in order for students to get accurate information for vocabulary activity. __Closure__ – The teacher will close by summarizing the important ideas. The teacher will ask students to answer the essential questions. This will serve as a type of informal assessment of the lesson. As the students leave, the teacher will collect the timeline, notes, and vocabulary activity.

Assessment
The teacher will evaluate students in a number of informal ways. First, students will be evaluated by observing their participation and behavior during the presentation. Sometimes, the teacher will call on students who are not volunteering to answer to check for understanding. The teacher will also use the students completed timeline and vocabulary activity to check for understanding. // Remediation //** – ** Students who need remediation will participate in a small group activity. The teacher will present the information to the students. The teacher will have a note guide prepared for these students. This note guide will contain the important information from the presentation. However, students will be required to fill in information as they follow along with the presentation. Students will be given time to ask questions for clarification. Students will also have an opportunity to view the Brain Pop video again. They may also complete an order of events activity where they put the events on the revolution in correct order while viewing video. // Enrichment //** – ** Students who quickly grasp the concept will be asked to research Miguel Hidalgo’s speech “Cry of Dolores”.
