The Autobiography of Benjamin Franklin Lesson Plan

Bringing in Technology

During all Days in this guide, students should have available basic internet research capability. In several activities across the guide, this is a basic expectation.

Consider using Google Docs or comparable document-sharing software for exercises that call for ongoing or collaborative (small group or class-wide) writing, note-taking or brainstorming exercises.

Consider the following resources to explore visual representations of Franklin's life and correspondences:

-A map of his letters.

-Google Earth (to explore and plot his life and travels).

Consider using Evernote or Voicethread to capture any performances students do in class, so that you can reflect on them as a class later.
