Thing 11 Learn from a video

OMGeeeeee!!!! I just love the crash course videos on TED. A fourth grade teacher and I developed a lesson plan about the colonization of the United States using "When is Thanksgiving" video series of two. We used a whiteboard and responders to do the Think section. This section has six multiple choice questions per video. We did this in November before Thanksgiving. We all learned so much. Next Generation standards SS.4.H.CL.1.1 and SS.4.CL.1.2 were met with this project. After doing some other activities the teacher regularly does to teach this topic, we had the students file each other recapping information they had learned. They enjoyed watching themselves.
