AIM: I will use persuasive language and at least three relevant facts from the text to entice travelers to come to ancient India.
Standard: 7.4 Geography of India and 7.W-E.4 Persuasive text that provides evidence.
Do Now:
1) Vocabulary Word: An oven where pottery is heated
2) Vocabulary Word: A place organized before being built
3) Vocabulary Word: The most perfect possible.
4) How long ago was 2008 BCE?
Lesson Steps:
We reviewed the Do Now and went right into practicing our skits for today's presentations. Students presented their skits while everyone graded the performances on the basis of the information included and the extent of the persuasion. These skits demonstrated knowledge of the content and individual creativity because teams chose how to present their information.
Homework: Continue to practice your skit if you have not presented yet.
Handout: This handout was used to grade fellow classmates during presentations.
