I. Objectives
How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
The Revolutions unit happens 200 years later than the previous unit, so lots of things have occurred in the time between those periods, including the Enlightenment,
scientific discovery, exploration, slavery, industrialism, and imperialism. This lesson will serve as a bridge from the previous unit to this unit in order to give context
to the new time period and help students understand what has changed in the world.

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement
for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the
process of preparing the lesson.)
As I taught this lesson, I ended up improvising a bit, which ended up being great. For the warm-up activity, instead of giving
students only 5 or so minute to come up with answers, I gave them around 10. I also walked around to each group and tried to
involve myself and develop their thoughts and ideas. This ended up being a great way to do it because I interacted with students on a
more personal level and helped spark ideas. The rest of the lesson went well, but I could tell I am better at teaching in small groups
than I am in big groups. There were a few times where I stumbled over my words or had trouble explaining some things, but Mrs.
Sisco helped me get back on track. Also, some of the transitions between activities seemed a bit awkward or clumsy and I had a few
technical difficulties when my computer inexplicably shut down, but overall the lesson went very well. I could tell students were
engaged and learned the main concepts that I wanted them to learn in this transition lesson.
