Implementation Time Frame Two 45-minute class period Activities Prior to this lesson, you should review the Bright Moments website. Review the content and layout of site, and set up a class code. Begin this lesson in a computer lab setting, where all students have access to a computer individually or in pairs. Go to the search engine Alta Vista. In the search field, enter "Black History" as the keywords. Ask a student to identify how many "hits" this search produced. Browse through the first twenty hits and read summaries. Next, complete the same process using another search engine, Netscape. If the search produced the result of the following site, link to it. If not, write the full URL in the address field. The site used for this lesson is: www.brightmoments.com/blackhistory/. Students should add this as a bookmark or favorite on their computers. Once all students are at this site, explain the purpose and layout of the site. Explain that there are two frames that the students will be using. Once they begin the level 1 quiz, the web page divides into three frames. Students should complete level one quiz individually or with a partner, and submit their score to you upon completion. Students can then move on to quiz 2 and 3 depending on time. If students finish early, they may go to the Stamp on Black History Month website to design a stamp. Word searches are also available at this site to print out and used as an alternative activity. Assessment Quizzes scores can be accessed online. Resources and Related Links |
