Successes And Shortcomings

• My students were unfamiliar with the history that
  surrounds this novel. Therefore, more time
  should have been devoted to historical events.
  Having students tell their story and then acting
  the best story out as a group proved to be a
  great success.

Conclusion

• I believe students interaction with a
  standards-based lesson developed from a website
  is a positive way to get students excited about
  learning.
• This entire experience has challenged me to
  develop more website lesson plans that are
  standards-based.
• This format allows students to work on this at
  school or home.
