For my lesson I will be having my students looking at whether the European had a positive impact on early America or a negative impact. My objective if for them to be able to use persuasive language and historical facts to construct a well thought out arguement. I will have them partake in forum discussions and present their sides. This will allow me to give feedback on their arguements and historical information. I will use a rubric to evaluate student effort. I will give them recognition by responding to their forum posts. The forum posts will also serve as a collaborative tool.
