Other

Diversity Component: I will incorporate my ELL students by allowing them to translate the lyrics of their chosen song into their home language. Their research may also be done in their home language. Their paper must be turned in in English, but I will not be harsh on any grammar/spelling mistakes I might cross. Also, if they have another historical figure they are more comfortable with researching and know a song that corresponds with that figure, I will allow them to use their previous knowledge on this project. Their figure still must be relevant to the American Revolution. If there is still something they might not comprehend, I will work one on one with them to clarify any of their questions. If I am unavailable to assist them, I will allow another student who does comprehend to explain to the best of their ability until I can come back to the one on one work.

Academic Disciplines: I used Technology, Social Studies and Music.
