Content Delivery
Students will have already read the section on abolition in their textbooks prior to this lesson. Students will use computers to access the internet to read about different components of abolition in Britain. Students will be paired up and will be assigned a topic in which they will read, analyze, and present together.
Student Engagement (Simulation)
Students will be grouped into 18 groups of 2 pairs. Students will be given a directions on how to access the BBC website. Once students are on the website they will follow the directions read out-loud by the teacher. Each pair of students will go to a specific section of the website and will read out a specific aspect of abolition. Students will have approx. 20 minutes to read their section and note important facts. Once all students have finished reading their assigned section the class will return to the classroom. Once in the classroom each pair of students will be asked to share about their findings on their section by placing their handout under the elmo to allow the class to see their notes. While each pair is presenting their information the rest of the students will be filling in the information on their sheets.
Assessments
Formative-The teacher will assess the students informally as he/she walks around the computer lab assessing students comprehension of the content that they are reading. Student will also be assessed on content knowledge as they present their information to the class. The teacher will be able to assess which students completed their assignment thoroughly and which students might need assistance in the future.
Summative-Students will be assessed on one particular concept that they learned during their simulation activity by writing down one important fact about abolition on a post-it note as they walk out the door. This will allow the teacher to assess what concepts students grasped during the lesson. If the responses are poor then the teacher will need to revisit the concept of abolition the following day before moving on.

Lesson Closure
Once all students have presented their information the teacher will give each student a post-it note. The teacher will ask the students to write down one particular concept that they learned about the abolition movement through their research. Students will then post their notes in the designated space as they leave the classroom. The teacher will then assess for student understanding of abolition by reading the post-it notes and possibly reviewing them the following day.
