Engage- Students use BYOD or provided
technology allowing students to become active and
engaged learners.
Enhance- Students get to be creative during
this assignment while also getting to use 21st
Century skills. Students get to share their
completed work with not only the teacher and
class, but anyone in the world by posting
completed videos to sites like YouTube.
Extend- Using
Knowme allows students
to access materials
outside of the classroom,
at anytime and
anywhere.
Assessment Strategy
The class will watch a music video on
YouTube called Too Late To Apologize.
The music video is about the writing of the
Declaration of Independence and is set to
the tune of Apologize by the band One
Republic. Students will pick as a group a
standard covered in U.S. History to write
and produce a music video about. Students
will then research that topic, choose a song
to change the words to, and write new lyrics
to the song. From here the students will use
a cell phone and the KnowMe application to
create a historical music video. Student s
will then share their groups music video
with the class as well as online.
