Best Lesson: Khan Academy Javascript: Exploding Sun

Action steps

Worst Lesson

• Provide Students Contradictory primary sources
• Have students identify when it was written, who wrote it, and why.
• Have students brainstorm why the sources are in conflict.
• Try to analyze where the truth lies and what biases impacted the writers.
• Sources were on the Salem WItch Trials

Issues with Lesson

• Not enough scaffolding.
• Material went over the heads of my students.
