SRT Lesson Plan
Describe the instructional activities that will occur PRIOR to the SRT activity and how you will introduce
the SRT activity.
The lesson will begin by dividing the class into 8 groups. Each group will be assigned a historical figure, and
research this person. Once everyone has completed their research, each group will present to the class what
they learned about their historical figure. Each group will also be responsible of rephrasing to the class what
one other group said, that way the students are able to hear it in more than one way.

Student Response and Assessment Tools
provide feedback, and allow individual instruction based on which students had misunderstandings about
certain historical figures.
Reflective Practice:
By completing this lesson and activity, the students will gain many insights: first, the quizlet activity will guide
their knowledge and extend their learning beyond textbooks. When the groups of students research their
specific historical figures, they will gain researching skills as well as how to interpret readings.
