Introduction Introduction (LSI Quadrant I): SAY: I need a couple of volunteers. ASK: (Of the volunteers) Please identify the building you choose and what architectural elements you found interesting. ASK: Would it surprise you to know what many of the architectural elements that are used today stem from ancient times? SAY: During our time together today, we will learn architectural elements from the Byzantine civilization and see how they have survived the test of time. Outline (LSI Quadrant II): I. Early A. Outline background affecting the period B. Isolate elements associated with Byzantine architecture. C. Identify famous Byzantine buildings. II. Middle A. Outline background affecting the period B. Isolate elements associated with Byzantine architecture. C. Identify famous Byzantine buildings. III. Late A. Outline background affecting the period B. Isolate elements associated with Byzantine architecture. C. Identify famous Byzantine buildings. III. Review key terms from Byzantine architecture.

Independent Practice (LSI Quadrant III): Students work in teams to play Byzantine Architecture Jeopardy. 1. Divide students into three teams. 2. Have each group guess a number between one and one hundred. 3. The team that guesses the number closes to 59 goes first. 4. Team that guesses correctly continues to pick the next question. 5. When a team fails to answer a question correctly, their score is reduced by the number of points that would have been awarded. 6. Turn goes to the next team (rotating clockwise). 7. When all questions have been answered, total scores. 8. Award points as follows: a. 1st place 50 points b. 2nd place 45 points c. 3rd place 40 points Use the Byzantine Architecture Jeopardy Game Notes Pages for correct answers.

Summary Review (LSI Quadrants I and IV): Answer any questions the students may have from the Jeopardy game. Divide students back into their three teams. Ask students to come up with additional questions for the Jeopardy game. Allow teams to increase their grade by 10 points, awarding one points for each quality question and answer. Evaluation Informal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III): Monitor student progress during summary activity and provide independent re-teach/re-direction as needed. Formal Assessment (LSI Quadrant III, IV): Use Byzantine Architecture Recognition Exam, PowerPoint Presentation, and Exam Key. Use Byzantine Architecture Vocabulary Exam and Exam Key. Extension Extension/Enrichment (LSI Quadrant IV): Assemble and play another round of Byzantine Architecture Jeopardy with new questions students provided. UNT in partnership with TEA, Copyright.
