E. Procedure: 1. Students will be asked what colonies they think belong in the New England Region. Students will discuss it in their small groups, and one person from each group will give their response. 2. As a class, we will visit the following websites: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ScZh2-QLOE And http://mrnussbaum.com/13colonies/13regions/#ne for the first website, students will watch the video to gain more knowledge about the colonies. For the second website, we will discuss the colonies that make up the New England colonies. 3. In their small groups, students will visit the website: http://mrnussbaum.com/13colonies/13profiles/. Students are to color on their map the New England Colonies. Students are to then click on each of the red colored colonies to find out more information about each colony. Students are to write the information down. 4. Students will receive a brief lecture on these specific colonies to gain a better understanding about the colonies. 5. CLOSURE: Review the basis of what the New England Colonies were. F. Assessment: a. What will you use to measure student understanding? Students will have to answer a questionnaire. Students will have 6 multiple choice, 5 true-false, and 4 short answer questions about the New England Colonies. b. Explain how you will know students understand the concepts from the lesson. I will grade their questionnaires. Based on their responses and how well they did on the multiple choices and true-false, I will be able to tell if they understood the information. G. Reflection: 1. Which part of the lesson do you think will be the easiest for you to teach?

The easiest part will be having the students locate the region of the colonies. 2. Which part will be most challenging for you to teach? Probably teaching why the colonies were divided and how it became this way will be the hardest part to teach. 3. How will you follow up or extend this lesson? Have students do further research. 4. What will you do for students who dont grasp the concepts? Try to figure out what it is they do not understand and give specific material for it. 5. Which part of the lesson, if any, do you think might need to change? I dont think the lesson needs to be changed. 6. When you were writing this lesson plan, what was the most difficult part? It was fairly easy.
