The presentation will discuss the political and economic formations of the pacts. Guided notes will accompany the lecture. Student Engagement Students will produce exemplary guided notes to assist them throughout the lesson. They will cover dates, countries in each faction, and political decisions made. The guided notes will have questions that will also open up critical thinking and comprehension questions.Lesson ClosureThe lesson will close with a few questions pertaining to the information presented along with important vocabulary words. We will make additional connections between how alliances were made prior to the Cold War and/or during and the consequences (+/-) that came from them. Assessment Formative: The students will be answering critical and comprehension questions throughout the presentation. These will be recorded on their guided notes. The teacher will walk around to ensure the students are on the correct train of thought, which will help me to know what might need to be retaught (prior knowledge) or expand upon. Summative: The students will be asked a few vocabulary words at the end of the lesson which were both on their ABC brainstorms and throughout the lesson. Accommodations for English Learners, Striving Readers and Students with Special NeedsStudents with special needs, English learners and striving readers will need assistance with particular vocabulary words which possibly are above them. However, the lesson introduction will help the students because they only need to come up with one word or small phrase at a time corresponding to one letter of the alphabet.
