Digital Adventure #4: Edsitement

       My fourth digital adventure involved Edsitement. This is a website containing detailed lesson plans for subjects within the humanities. The first lesson on display is pictured above. As I create a Renaissance unit plan in one of my other classes, however, I plan to use some of the lessons within the Art & Culture section. Lessons include brief overviews, resource links, rubrics and learning objectives, as well as reading and assessment questions. I immediately decided to bookmark this website, because as a beginning teacher I will probably get some use out of this by looking at examples to guide my lesson-building.
