This lesson was designed for EDUC 331, a technology class helping future teachers understand and utilize technology for the purpose of improving education
This lesson is designed to introduce the students to a certain time period, 1970’s. The students each choose certain aspects of the 1970’s research the topic, write and article and publish it in a mock newspaper. The main idea here is that before the students delve into 1970’s literature its is helpful that the students have some background knowledge on the subject. This project also teaches historic literary criticism.
Not only are they gaining great knowledge for the class but they are practicing research, communication and writing skills.
