|Big Question |What makes a nation, a nation? |

|Specific Objectives (transfer from|SWBAT distinguish the difference between a nation-state, a nation, and a state. |

|above) |SWBAT understand and follow classroom procedures |

|Brief explanation of scope of |This lesson is designed as an introduction both to my teaching, and to the unit on European |

|lesson, significance, and |Nationalism. The significance of this lesson is that students would be able to follow the |

|explanation of tasks, and |classroom procedures, which will be assessed in the form of a ‘give me five’ technique. The |

|assessments |class will also have a better grasp of the terms nation, state, nation-state, and nationalism, |

| |decide whether it is a nation, a state, or both. They must justify their decision, and class |

| |discussion will help flesh out. Assessment comes out of this lesson in the form of Nation, |

| |State, or Both!? Worksheet |

|How are you trying to motivate |The opener is related to the Introduction to the class, which is for students to introduce |

|students in your opener? What is |themselves to me, on an index card, in a ‘poster’. |

|your closure? |An opener into the content part of the class is “What makes America a nation?”, and have |

| |century liberalism and conservatism, redrawing the map of Europe, and a narrative of the |

| |happenings of the Congress of Vienna. These also serve as an assessment. |

|How are you trying to motivate |The opener is designed to have students consider who has had a lasting legacy or effect on their|

|students in your opener? What is |lives, even if they weren’t around for a long time. The goal would be to connect that with the |

|your closure? |relatively short rule of Napoleon and the last legacy of him and the Congress of Vienna. |

| |The closer is asking students to consider who had a longer lasting legacy, the Congress of |

| |Vienna or Napoleon, and to explain their position. |

|Lesson 3. Title |Unification of Germany |

|Specific Objectives (transfer from|SWBAT recognize the significance of the 1848 revolutions around Europe, namely the liberalism |

|above) |and conservatism ideas. |

|assessments |the ReadAloud about the significance of the revolutions (specifically the liberalism and |

| |conservatism aspect of it). Students would be assessed by a tally system of comments. |

| |The next part of the day will be spent completing slotnotes on German Unification, with a |

| |PowerPoint containing the major idea/events of the Unification process. Assessment would be |

| |found in the completion of the SlotNotes |

|How are you trying to motivate |Students will recount a time in their life where they have failed, but have become better |

|students in your opener? What is |because of it, such as a loss in a sport. The closer has students compose a 140 character tweet |

|your closure? |summarizing German Unification. |

|lesson, significance, and |Realpolitik nature on the unification of Germany. Students will be presented numerous documents,|

|explanation of tasks, and |from political cartoons to speeches by Bismarck to comments made about him. We will discuss them|

|assessments |as a class after they are read and dissected individually. They are to answer questions after |

| |each, based on the document. |

| |Students will then pair together with a person who had the other form (A or B) then they had. |

| |They will complete their form with information from their partner, and then together come up |

| |with a thesis statement based on the DBQ statement. Class will then compare the theses for |

| |similarities and differences. |

|How are you trying to motivate |The students will be asked to consider whether having a load of work and an ‘evil’ teacher is |

|students in your opener? What is |worth getting A’s and a perfect SOL score. This hopes to connect to ‘realpolitik’ and Otto Von |

|your closure? |Bismarck. The closer has them consider what they believe about Bismarck and his policies. |

|Lesson 5. Title |Unification of Italy |

|Big Question |How can war create unity? |

|Specific Objectives (transfer from|SWBAT name the significant figures who led the Italian unification movement |

|above) |SWBAT explain the steps that led to Italian unification |

|lesson, significance, and |often in war. Understanding the process of unification for Italy will help students understand |

|explanation of tasks, and |the start of World War I, and the roots of the alliance system. |

|assessments |After a short ‘lecture’ on the key figures in the Italian Unification, students will act out the|

| |unification. They will have been given a group at the beginning of class, which they will |

| |separate into in order to figure out what they were doing at different points during the |

| |Unification. As they act it out, they will complete a Timechart of Italian Unification, which |

| |acts as an assessment. |

|How are you trying to motivate |The opener asks students to consider a time when they had a fight with a friend or family |

|students in your opener? What is |member, but ended up closer with them because of it (perhaps because they were actually on the |

|your closure? |same side, etc.) The goal is connect that with the internal conflicts of Italian Unification |

| |The closer is for students to answer and justify their answer to who the most important figure |

| |in the Italian Reunification is. |

|Lesson 6. Title |19th century Ottoman Empire |

|Big Question |What happens when a balance of power is disrupted? |

|Specific Objectives |SWBAT determine what events were significant in the Ottoman Empire in the 19th century |

|Brief explanation of scope of |This lesson is a ‘lab’ day, where students are to find what the major events were during the |

|lesson, significance, and |19th century of the Ottoman Empire. Students will have to find information about five events |

| |SWBAT evaluate their knowledge of the unit |

|explanation of tasks, and |Eastern Question in European Politics. After this, students and teacher will complete a Concept |

|assessments |Map on Nationalism, which is a form of assessment of the entire unit, and a So What?, designed |
