DESCRIPTION
The teaching method used is historical analysis, which, combined with the productive-inductive method, builds general knowledge through the teaching of details, and interprets the history as a whole, taking into account all the factors that shape historical reality. In addition, where deemed necessary, the indicative method based on projections will be used. Pedagogically, an attempt will be made to apply exploratory and collaborative learning. Students will work in groups, within which they can assume specific roles. The form of teaching will be dialectic with some use of narration to ensure the co-investigation of teacher - student. The teacher's role will generally be that of a facilitator. The printed worksheet will be distributed to the students. The worksheet consists of four short activities.
Using the WOW-HI platform and their historical knowledge, the students are asked to answer four questions about the life, personality and actions of Benakis during the Orloff period and be aware also about Orloff’ s history.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
The duration of the implementation of this lesson depends on the level of the students and on their familiarity with the electronic tools they will use. One academic hour is enough in a class with a fairly good level and familiarity with electronic tools.
ATTENTION TO DIVERSITY
Differentiated teaching that adapts to the special characteristics of each student will be preferred.
