● This lesson will help the students with the previous lesson because they have already been learning about the Americas. The students will already ne familiar with the topic, which will make it easier for the students.
● I can build off this lesson by creating more subtitles about the United States, and having the students look up more and different information on the United States.
● Just in case the computers are not working, I am going to have a back up plan so I know that I have something else in mind for the students to do.
