For my lesson plan I wanted it to be centered around the conquest of the Americas (1492-1600). I want my students to conduct research on a certain explorer during that time period and create a video biography on their person. Included in the video is a narration of the explorers life, accomplishments, and the importance of their conquest. I feel this lesson incorporates both social studies and technology and meets the educational standards of the DOE. Also it will be a fun way to learn some history.
