 Title of lesson: History Of Newspapers

Description of lesson: // Students will watch 2 Youtube videos about newspapers and editing. They will choose which videos to watch from 5 videos available and be required to write briefly on them. //

Assignment: Each student will write a 500-word entry on what they learned from the videos. Included in the context will be comparing the two videos and talking about what they liked and didn't like about each video.

Resources/materials needed: media type="custom" key="11257082" Video 1: In the title of this video notice the alliteration (comment on this in your assignment and get an extra point!) and creativeness of the author. Video 2: In depth look at copy editing in this video. Notice the red and blue and what the author does to make his work better. Video 3: History! Look and Listen to all of the events and happenings that created our newspaper. Video 4: This silent video is my favorite! It shows how the newspaper grew and what areas of the country had the most publications. Video 5: This great video displays in words and images how the first newspapers were created. What a long way we've come since then!

Technology reflection: // The videos will help them see images and sound from earlier times. It will give them a background that only can be done in video. //

Evaluation: // I will have to focus on students staying on topic and watching only what is required of them. They may be tempted to watch unrelated videos and will need to be directed to stay on task. //
