“Lil’ Hitler” by Robot Chicken: We will view the 1 minute clip about 3-4 times. The first time so that students may enjoy the hilarity of the clip. The following times I will ask students to look/listen so that they may answer the following questions in an open class discussion:
- What are the students names?
- Who/What does the teacher represent?
- What is the clip trying to tell us?

Focus on document #2 and answer the questions on the page. |
Lesson Closure
Explain a procedure: Students will write to an absent student and explain what we learned today in detail in their own words. I will ask that students write a paragraph on their own sheet of paper. This will help reinforce the lesson learned as well as giving students who were absent, an opportunity to get caught up on our lesson.
