Welcome back!
Day two of the lesson plan. Today I showed the classes the History Channel's War of 1812 segment on the Star Spangled Banner as an alternative lesson for the students. This gave a brief history lesson on the writing of the poem, the burning of Washington City and the Battle for Baltimore as well as the Defense of Ft McHenry. Actually less emphasis on the bombardment than the rest of the events! Gave a lot of information on the Flag itself, and the students seemed to enjoy learning about this aspect of their history.
In English class...go figure!
Love being able to bridge the different courses this way...
More soon!
