 * Lesson Plan Exploration:**

//This exploration will go through my lesson plan and explain how I used different writing tools and incorporated them into my lesson.//

As you read over my lesson you may notice that is an introduction lesson into the French Revolution. I wanted to engage my students into a basic level reading activity that would get their minds going.

I engage my students in short reading activities and have them jot down notes as they read the different excerpts. The first writing tool I incorporate is a clustering tool which groups different topics together in an overall group. The overall main point would be the causes of the French revolution then it would branch off into different sections such as political, economic, and social etc. This engages the students to brainstorm and organize their ideas into sections.

The next writing tool I use in my lesson plan is a pyramid diagram. At the top of the pyramid will be the “causes of the French Revolution”. Students will then slowly work their way down and group it into different sections as they have done in class. This will be assigned as homework and students will be encouraged to use technology and their textbooks to add more information.

Overall the two types of writing tools I used for my lesson plan are very beneficial for my lesson. Students are able to incorporate their own writing and add outside information so they can grasp a full understanding of what the topic is all about.
