Social Studies Lesson

I taught my lesson in my field placement on Friday. It was a Social Studies lesson based on the Mayflower Compact.  I did not know that I could come up with activities and games to play with the Mayflower Compact, but I did. I made games for the vocabulary, like majority rules. I made note cards with questions on them . For example, the classroom will be painted one color red or blue? The students that answered in the majority got to stay standing and the rest of the class had to sit down. The students LOVED this! They wanted to play again :) I also went over the Mayflower Compact, I created on in a student friendly text and we compared it to the "real" one. This lesson was observed by my professor and I got so much positive feedback! I am so happy that I could create a lesson that the students enjoyed!
