5. Lesson Plan Hints
Consider the information and techniques we have covered with the understanding that not all of you teach this time period or these topics.
There is probably a broader theme you can still utilize, i.e. identity, mapping, migration…
Don’t forget the primary sources on your CD and in the presentations
