We will end with a review of Kaiser Wilhelm and Bismarks impacts on Germany

Accommodations:
I will print the handout in 20 type print for the student with the visual problem. Any students Having difficulties can finish the project at home and turn it in tomorrow morning.

Supplementary Materials:
World History: Connections to Today Facebook Handouts

Review/Assessment:
We ended with a review and discussion of what the students learned. I also graded the students Facebook handouts.

Reflection: This worked pretty well, especially given how antsy the students were. I did not originally include a requirement that the students draw a picture or symbol of Von Bismark but noticed some students did draw in the first couple of periods. I would Definitely include that as a requirement in any future assignments
