Bill of Rights Review Lesson Plan Smartboard. The lesson Bill of Rights review is made as a review for an exam on the Bill of Rights. This activity can take between 30-40.minutes depending on how in depth a teacher wants to go. The process is supposed to review the information that the students have previously learned and allow them to review the information to study for the exam. The review is focused on high school students (grades 9-12) and it is teaching the students to think about the Bill of Rights and why it is still important today. I believe that this review meets the standards for CO-PBST because students are using technology to advance their understanding of history and making it an easier way to study for an exam with interacting with a computer. I thought that the process was fairly easy because I am familiar with power point. Although some aspects were fairly easy I did have many different problems. One problem I had was getting the tutorials my computer would not download most of them and that made it difficult to figure out how to work the system. Another problem I had was that I couldn’t figure out how to make the lesson as interactive as the example we had in class, so I had to make a second page for each question to show which answers were correct and which were not. I think it would have been helpful if there was more instruction to the lesson and how to use the software. I really like the software and I think that it could be very useful in the classroom to keep students interested in what is going on but to make it very useful in the classroom I would need further information. I am comfortable making the slides I am just not as comfortable and do not know how to make the presentation more interactive with the students.
