Other Skills: Students will get to practice research, and persuasive writing skills, as well as peer reviewing skills. Students will learn how to open up to classmates and be able to take recommendations and decide if they have merit or not and how to act on them. They will also learn how to give constructive criticism.
Lesson Plan: Students will write a 5 page paper, where they decide the merits of a federalist government as America has it. Should America shift to a Union government? Or should America give more power back to the States? Students will write a rough draft of this paper, then post it up on Flickr. From there they will select 2 partners to peer review their papers. When peer reviewing they will use Flickr’s note function make notes on various sections of the paper with suggestions or comments that they feel will be useful. These will be made in a way that only the 3 plus the teacher will be able to access and read. Once the peer review is finished, they will then edit their papers as they see fit and hand it in as a final copy.
