Silk Road Review PowerPoint

I used this duing a 5th grade lesson on the Silk Road. Students first watched a short BrainPop video on the silk road as an introduction to the social studies concept. All the questions before slide 12 relate back to the brainpop video. Slides 12 and on relate to what the students read fromt their text and from the discussions we had as a class.

The slides include questions, pictures, and discussion starters. I also included a sample "ABCD Notecard" I used during the PowerPoint. Each student recieved an "ABCD Notecard" and after reading the question on the board, they held up the correct letter for what they believed to be the correct answer. It is a way to keep the whole class involved as well as an informal assessment done during the lesson.

This is a great way to incorporate interactive technology within the classroom.
