affect, the United States.

Objective (Explicit):
Students will be able to identify 2 reasons why there is tension between the United States and
Iraq.

Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):


5 Points for Participating
2 Points for answering: Should the United States of America have defended Kuwait, or allowed
them to fight for themselves?
3 Points for explaining: Why they answered the previous question the way they did using at
least 2 reasons to defend their answer.

1. After going over the lesson using NearPod, students will answer the last question on
the interactive slide.

2. Students will answer Should the United States of America have defended Kuwait, or
allowed them to fight for themselves? Why? using the last interactive slide on the
NearPod presentation, within their explanation students must state at least 2 reasons
to defend their answer.

Example:

I believe the United States of America should not have defended Kuwait. The U.S. should have
allowed Iraq and Kuwait to figure out their issues because it cost the U.S. a lot of money, U.S.
soldiers died during the war, and it has caused further tensions between the U.S. and Iraq.

Opening (state objectives, connect to previous learning, and make relevant to real life)
When students enter the classroom, they will sit down at their desks, pull out their laptops/tablets
and log into nearpod.com
On the whiteboard at the front of the class, the objective for the day will be written: Students will
be able to understand why there is tension between the United States and Iraq.
Once every student is logged into the NearPod presentation, I will lead a short discussion with the
whole class using these two Questions: Why does the U.S. consider Iraq a threat?
What do you know about Operation Desert Storm?
After the class discussion, I will start the short video (3 mins) on the 3rd slide of the NearPod
Presentation. After the video is over, I will ask the Students: Did anything within the video stand out
to you? If so, why?

Saddam Hussein becoming President, up
to the beginning of the 2003 Iraq war.

After, I will play the short video that is

Co-Teaching Strategy/Differentiation

If certain students have attention difficulties, I will have them sit closer to the front of the
classroom. After the class is over, I will post the presentation online so that Students will be
able to review it, or if a Student is absent they have access to the information.

understand or are having any issues.

Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections:

At the end of the NearPod presentation there are two slides with Fill In Your Own Answers
questions. The last slide is the Exit Ticket for the day. Students will complete the Exit Ticket and
if there is time after they have finished submitting their answers, we will have a class discussion
about whether or not the students agree with some of the answers and how the United States
participation in the Gulf War has impacted the world we live in today.

After the class discussion, I will ask the students to put away their computers and thank them all for
their participation in class today.

Once everything is put away in their respective places, I will send the students to their next class.
