Lesson Plan : The 1920's
Teacher Name: | Sarah Freeman |
Grade: | Grade 11-12 |
Subject: | Social Studies |
Topic: | The 1920's |
Content: | The assignment is to create a scrapbook about the 1920's. The students will write about the sports, music, dancing, movies, fashion, jobs, and much more. The purpose of the assignment is so that students will be able to compare and contrast the 1920's with the century they live in now. Students will know all the differences and similarities between the two time periods. |
Goals: | The main goal is for students to learn about the 1920's. I expect my students to be able to compare and contrast the 1920's with what it's like today in our time period. I also expect my students to be able to do research and put what they learned into their own words. The students must be creative when they create their scrapbook. |
Objectives: | SS.912.A.1.7- Describe various socio-cultural aspects of American life including arts, artifacts, literature, education, and publications. LA.1112.6.2.1- The student will select a topic and develop a comprehensive flexible search plan, and analyze and apply evaluative criteria(e.s., objectivity, freedom from bias, topic format) to assess appropriateness of resources. |
Materials: | I will use the internet and textbook for the lesson. I will create a powerpoint about the 1920's and present it to the class before starting the scrapbook. Rubistar will be used to create the rubric for grading. For the assigment, the students will need access to the internet, books, construction paper, pen or pencils, glue, markers, scissors, magazines, and any other resources or materials they want to use. |
Introduction: | The students will be given a worksheet explaining what the assignment is. Students will create a scrapbook about the 1920's. Students will learn about types of music, dance, fashion, and traditions of the 1920's. The students will have the chance to be creative by creating a scrapbook filled with information and pictures about the 1920's. |
Development: | On the first day, the students will go to the library and do some research. The students should have at least 4 pages of information and pictures. The students will continue to do more research at home. |
Practice: | On the second day of class, the students will start to put the information they found into their own words. The students will then put together their scrapbook. Students must include a bibliography. |
Accommodations: | |
Checking For Understanding: | I will create a rubric for the assignemnt. The rubric will be given to each student in the class to fill out for every presenter. The student will have to give each student a score for their presentation. The project will be out of 100 points, each category is worth 25 points. The four categories are following directions, spelling and grammar, content, and creativity. I will go over every rubric and average the scores and give the students a grade. |
Closure: | After the presentations are complete, I will have the students do a 3 page report comparing and contrasting the 1920's with today. I want the students to talk about what they liked and disliked about the 1920's. |
Evaluation: | To measure my students progress, I would create a crossword puzzle and see what they learned from the presentations in class. I would have this be an extra credit assignment just in case the students forget a lot of information from the presentations. |
Teacher Reflections: | If the assignment goes well, I will most likely use the lesson plan the following year. If the students don't do so well, then I will ask them what they disliked about the assignment and how it could be improved. |
