[|John Marshall] My favorite resource on Marshall is the Background Essay. I like it because it gives the reader insight as to who Justice Marshall was & some of the cases he heard as well as decisions he's rendered.

[|5 Pillars of Islam] The study of Islamic sulture is a big part of our WHI curriculum. The 5 Pillars of Islam are an important feature. The Teachers' Domain is a valuable resource that I could incorporate into the lesson. I would use the videos of Muslims carrying out all 5 Pillars to give the students a visual, as well as audio feel.

[|Egyptian Architecture] The fact that the ancient Egyptians were able to create architectural marvels with such primative technology is absolutely mind boggling. The Ancient World curriculum focuses heavily on the Egyptians. Teachers' Domain offers two theories on how they accomplished such feats that would not only give the students things to ponder & even take positions on, but also spark & hold their interest & desire to learn more.

 * 5.2 Frame/Focus/Follow Up - Civil Rights Movement Timeline**
 * Frame** - I might begin by asking students to define civil rights & maybe give an example of where one's civil rights have been violated. I would then ask them to think about why we have civil rights in this country & how for we should be allowed to go to protect them. I would then have them note when civil rights began here in the U.S, & how they've progresses (timeline)
 * Focus** - I would have them focus on well known civil rights demonstrations, such as the one in Birmingham, AL.
 * Follow Up -** I would maybe ask students to compare how civil rights are valued in the United States vs. another country such as China.


 * 5.5 Lesson-on-the-Fly**
 * Frame** - I would ask students if they know why police are required to read suspects their rights prior to arresting them. I would then give students some background on "Miranda v. Arizona" & show them the video.
 * Focus** - I would then have students look at the case of "Gideon v. Wainwright". I would show the video & ask students to look for similarities to the Miranda case.
 * Follow Up** - I would review both films with the students if necessary & ask them to draw a conclusion. They would then draw out a Venn diagram to compare similarities & differences.

Maya I chose this lesson plan because it relates well to the 8th grade study of the Early American Civilizations. The video goes a long way in a short clip to explain some of the mysteries behind Mayan heiroglyphics & some of the efforts made to both preserve & destroy them.

media type="youtube" key="u9LRbLXMzyM" height="390" width="480" Because I was unable to download a video from Teacher's Domain, I got one from Youtube on the same topic, Mayan writing. It can be used in class to give the students a better visual of Mayan symbols & how they distinguished similar ones from one another.
