Ask students to form a short answer or essay response to the essential question based on the movie topic(s) they explored.They may also use other websites, textbooks, etc. Some students may want to also check out other movie topics that are similar to the one they selected. Provide time for students to watch their selected BrainPOP movie and explore the related Related Reading resources.Ensure that the essential question and the topic that students select are a good fit. Show students the list of World History topics you generated prior to the start of the lesson and allow them to work individually or in pairs/groups to select one that interests them. Challenge students to explore a BrainPOP topic through the lens of the essential question you provided (or one they generated during the class discussion).You may find that they raise additional essential questions, and you can assist students in developing appropriate wording for them. Facilitate a whole-class discussion around the essential question, writing down the major points that students identified.Display a selected essential question for the class and allow students to write about it or discuss it in pairs or small groups to build background knowledge.How do different political, cultural, or economic perspectives affect the view, interpretation, and communication of current and historical events? What, if anything, justifies armed conflict? How do you define justice and, given this definition, is ours a just society? What are contemporary social, judicial, economic and political factors that influence how we live? What do citizenship and living in a civil society mean and where do you fit in? Why are conflicting values inherent in diverse groups, and how do societies deal with resulting challenges? How has the world changed in 100 years: socially, technologically, economically and politically? How do economic, historic, environmental, social, and technological forces cause change? How does knowledge of the past influence us and help us understand the present and the future? How are the beliefs and practices of various cultures related to time, location, and events?
How do different cultures express their own values and traditions? Is history told by the "winners"? Is history inevitably biased? How do beliefs and practices of various cultures evolve over time? What cycles and patterns seem to recur throughout history? What methods do people/historians use to interpret and communicate current and historical events?
How do we know what really happened in the past? How can we know if we weren't there?
Then, select an essential question you'd like students to explore (or choose several and give students choices). Develop the project guidelines you'd like students to follow and make them available for the class. You may want to only include topics students have previously studied, or use loosely related topics to extend their learning. Preview the World History unit of BrainPOP and select the topics that are relevant for your students and compile them in a list. This activity can be used at the end of a unit of study or at the end of a semester/school year to help students make connections between different aspects of history.
