I went a little out of the box here and have included the PP file that includes the new material for the day, computer-based activities, backup no-computer activities, opening activity, and a student-made video. The computer activities are of course a work in progress and I imagine as I go through the year I will alter or replace many of the activities with more interesting ones. I plan on having the students investigate alternative activities as an assignment. Bonus points to activities better than mine, which probably will happen quite often. The video is one that my AP Government students made last spring. I also will be giving students the option of making videos to go with these lessons for additional credit. I really like the students having some ownership of the activities. I do have a more traditional written lesson plan to go with this, but I normally just use the PP documents as my lesson plans. I tried uploading the video but it says it is too large. Sorry.
