Lesson+plan+3

**Grade:** 7 **Lesson Title: **The Magna Charta **Lesson Targets: **By the end of this lesson the students will know how the Magna Charta influenced the rights that are in the Constitution and the Declaration of Independence. **Activities:** The students will each take turns reading the article //The Great Charter//. They will then get into groups of two or three and list some of the rights we have. After that we will right some of them on the board and see how these rights were started by the Magna Charta. ** Reflection ** I taught this lesson twice. I noticed that the second period class consisted of more right brain students, and the fifth period class had more left brained students. The second period class understood that the brainstorming activity didn't have a specific guideline for it and started working right away. The fifth period students wanted specific outlines and guidelines for this activity when it was designed to be more creative. To help these students out I told them the pages where to find the documents we were taking a look at and they started to list them after looking them up. I ended the lesson by showing them that the Magna Charta specifically excluded Jews in the body of the document.
