=HUNTER’S LESSON PLAN = **NAME:** Mariah Lowder
 * SUBJECT: **Events Leading Up to the Revolutionary War

It is important for students to grasp this information about the events leading up to the Revolutionary War because it meets one of the standard course objectives. The lesson plan below will teach the students the information that will be needed for the EOG, but in a creative, fun way. Hopefully by asking the students to be creative with a bubble map (using bubbl.us) and talking head the students will retain more of the information than if they just copied notes.
 * Rationale for selecting the learning outcomes: **

The students will be in groups of 4 to make a bubble map of ideas that they can use later when they individually create their own “talking heads.”
 * DATE: 11/7/2011 ****TIME ALLOTTED**: 45 minutes
 * ORGANIZATION: **
