Learning Plan: First Lesson, Literacy Lesson, and Tech Lesson

Unit Lessons

The following link includes my learning plan for three lessons of my unit. The first lesson begins with an overview of the war during 1941 and 1942.  The course is taught chronologically, so students should already have an understanding of the first two years of war.  Then, students will learn what the "People's War" is and why WWII was considered a "People's War."  To do so, students will participate in a reenactment. This is an example of criterion 3.2 and 4.2 because students are active and are making the concept come to life.  In the literacy lesson, I also address criterion 4.2 because the advertisement activity is a way for students to see how propaganda relates to their own lives. In my technology lesson, criterion 5.2 is addressed because students need to critically think about what they are reading, watching, and listening to. Students need to create, collaborate with their peers, and communicate their ideas when creating the piktochart.  Throughout my unit, I tried to address a variety of these performance criteria.
