Lesson Plan



I would reccomend to use the ASSURE model when creating your lesson plan. It assures you that all areas of the lesson plan are covered (no pun intended)!  **__A: Analyze Learners:__ Who is your audience?** - 30 Eleventh grade history students - 85% Caucasian 10% African American 5% Hispanic - All of the students have background information on World War II. These exercises are meant to refresh their memory and provide them with additional information and details. Sunshine State Standards:  1. SS.912.A.1.1 Benchmark: Describe the importance of historiography, which includes how historical knowledge is obtained and transmitted, when interpreting events in history.

2. SS.912.A.1.3: Benchmark: Utilize timelines to identify the time sequence of historical data.

3. SS.912.W.1.3 Benchmark: Interpret and evaluate primary and secondary sources. 


 * NETS Standards:**

 **__S: State Objectives:__ What will the students get out of the lesson?**

Use the ABCD method for writing objectives. The ABCD model is: - Audience - Behavior to be demonstrated - Conditions under which the behavior will be observed - Degree to which the learned skills are to be mastered [|Writing Objectives]  website to try practice exercises on writing good objectives.

The following are the objectives for the 5 assignments:  1. The eleventh grade history expected to develop appropriate questions about the attack and answer them correctly, with no mistakes. The students are also expected to correctly answer questions about the bombing of Pearl Harbor on a future exam.  2. Given the video and information about the Holocaust, the eleventh grade history students will be able to create a one page essay summarizing the Holocaust. The students are expected to abide all grammatical rules and have no grammatical errors.

3. The eleventh grade history students will review the timeline for World War II and compose their own World War II timeline using the Inspiration software with a short description under each event. The students will include a minimum of ten events on their timeline. The descriptions of the events will be 100% accurate and the timeline will be aesthetically appealing and organized.

4. The eleventh grade history students will gather into a group of five members and create a five slide Powerpoint presentation based on the two main causes of World War II and presenting the presentation to the entire class. The PowerPoint presentation will contain details on the causes of World War II and will professionally present the information to the class.

5. Given websites to review on the Atomic Bomb, the eleventh grade students will utilize this information and writing abilities to create an essay mimicking a top news story. Each essay will be grammatically correct and contain useful and appropriate information about the Atomic Bomb. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"> Use good verbs when describing your objectives.

<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">**__R. Require Learner participation__**: **What will you do to encourage the students to actively participate in the lesson?**

Monday: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Who was involved in the Pearl Harbor attack? What events lead up to the attack? When did it take place?
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">We will begin the assignment by briefly discussing the Pearl Harbor attack. I will ask the class the following engaging questions:
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Next, the students will be monitored as they review a short online story about Pearl Harbor. There are also images and a film for the students to watch to increase their interest. The students will then be able to utilize their creative abilities to independently develop 12 questions and answers about Pearl Harbor.

<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Tuesday:
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">We will start off by having the students review two websites on the Holocaust. Once complete, they will watch a short film about the Holocaust and their survivors and use that information to create a one page summary on the Holocaust. The film is extremely interesting and will hold the students' attention. There are also 2 photos of the holocaust to encourage student interest.

<span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Wednesday: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Thursday: <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;"><span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">Friday: The Atomic Bomb
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The students will begin by reviewing a timeline of World War II in the Americas. Once finished, they will compose their own timeline using Inspiration software. The Inspiration program allows the students to develop their own version of the timeline. They can include whichever events they find important and have the freedom to design the timeline however they choose.
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">This assignment will be particularly exciting and interactive since the students work in a group environment. The students will gather in groups of five, review 2 websites, and develop a five slide PowerPoint presentation based on the causes of World War II. Microsoft PowerPoint really engages the students since it gives them so many editing options. The students are also more involved in this assignment since they present the information to the class.
 * <span style="font-size: 110%; font-family: 'Comic Sans MS', cursive;">The assignment allows the students to view an actual newspaper article about the Atomic Bomb. The assignment also strays from the usual essay and therefore spices it up a bit.
