==Audrey's Lesson Plan== Objective: This lesson will examine and compare the aftermath of the Exxon Valdez and the BP oil spills.

Goals: Students will learn to examine photograhs for details related to events. They will complete a Venn diagram to compare the two disasters. Students will write and present a short overview related to one of the photographs related to the oil spills.

Procedures: 1. Students will be given the following websites. @http://www.adn.com/evos/pgs/ev_photos.html @http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/05/03/gulf-oil-spill-photos-ani_n_560813.html. 2. Students will complete a NARA photo analysis worksheet for one photo from each site. 3. Students will then complete a Venn diagram comparing the two photos they have chosen (this can also be done as small groups depending on class size). 4. The students will then write a summary of their findings to present to the class along with their Venn diagram. Assessment Completed NARA worksheets, Venn diagram, summary, and presentation.
