Doug's+Final+Project


 * Complete*

​ Doug-Your PowerPoint is very well done. It is simple enough for students to understand yet contains links that provide details. Students can examine these links, such as the maps, data, address, and so on using various methods. Students can employ the NARA worksheets for pictures, maps etc.. The SEA method could be used to examine the Gettysburg Address. The Venn Diagram can be used to examine an element between the north and south. The approach you have provided enables you to employ flexible options. What I think is really neat about this your location to Gettysburg. This will have real meaning to the students because it is so close. Probably many of them have been there and have a good visual of it. Great project Doug, neat, clear, organized and well developed for the age group you will use it with.

I really enjoyed looking through your project. Since I teach Gettysburg also, I loved seeing what you did with the content. You did a nice job incorporating pictures and maps into the project. The students can look through the PowerPoint themselves and explore all of the information you have presented them with. I also like that you made it a point to emphasize that this presentation is not meant to make the students experts, but to get their feet wet with the information instead. Not only have you thought out how you were going to put the project together, but you also thought out how each piece of information would expand the knowledge of your students and help to create critical thinking skills. You did a great job!

Grade: Middle School Subject: American History Tpoic: Battle of Gettysburg

This presentation is an overview of the Battle of Gettysburg. I will emphasize the local tie we have to Gettysburg at the beginning. Since Gettysburg is within a 40 minute drive of Manheim, PA it will be very relevant to the audience. The google map will help us walk through the exact location of Gettysburg and where it is in relation to Manheim. I will then go through a brief intro to the Civil War before getting into the details of the Battle of Gettysburg. The cartoon should help set the stage for a lot of the understanding behind the reasoning for the war. My goal is that the audience will understand the termoil between the north and the south. The data will help the audience understand the significant lose of this battle in terms of casualties. The map of the battle field will help to emphasize how the actual events occured based on the stratgey of both army generals. The poster of the soldier will give a simple illustration of the type of uniform that each side would wear. I have inserted pictures throughout the presentation to help draw student attention and also to emphasize many points throughout the presentation. This presentation is ultimately meant to give an overview of the events leading up to and involving the Battle of Gettysburg. The intention of this project is NOT to make the audience an expert on every detail.
