 **__Objectives__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Student will understand that** the founding of America was shaped by many different people, cultures, and industries.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Student will know** New England, Mid-Atlantic Colonies, Southern Colonies, Massachusetts Bay Colony, Indentured Servants, Native Americans, tobacco industry.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Student will be able to demonstrate** that there were several key factors that played into the emergence and founding of the original American colonies.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Product:** **Wiki**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Maine Learning Results (MLR) or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Alignment__** //<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Maine Learning Results (MLR) // //<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Content Area: Social Studies //

//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Standard Label: E. History //

//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Standard: E1 Historical Knowledge, Concepts, Themes and Patterns //

//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Grade Level Span: 6-8 "The Colonial Era 1500-1754" //

//<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Students understand major eras, major enduring themes and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world.** //

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Rationale:** This lesson satisfies the targeted learning results by allowing students to understand how the founding of country came to be.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Assessments__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Formative (Assessment for Learning)__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Section I – checking for understanding during instruction** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will complete a Fold-Over-Diagram. Students will come up with their own definitions, and then they will find textbook definitions, and then compare and contrast the two different definitions. This will allow me to see where there are still misunderstandings so I can use this information and clear them up.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">As a formative assessment, students will complete an exit ticket to check their understanding. This will demonstrate any misunderstandings, and then I can clear them up during the next class.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">One-Minute-Essay. At the end of the lesson for that, day students will write a brief essay that summarizes the main ideas and key events within a few minutes. This will be collected and checked for understanding. Students will be pairing with their seasonal partners, and then pairing with another group of seasonal partners to complete their graphic organizers. While students are sharing information, they are checking their own flow charts and mind maps to make sure they have similar ideas and content as the person they are sharing with. This will allow students to work together to receive peer feedback, and they will also be getting self-feedback by checking their worksheets during this activity. If there are any discrepancies or confusions these will be addressed to the teacher following the activity where we will do a quick check for any questions, or lingering misunderstandings. I will circulate during this activity to each group and do a quick check of their worksheets, ask a few key understanding questions to make sure students fully understand the knowledge. If there are any gaps, then I will sit down with the group and go over the information again.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Summative (Assessment of Learning):__** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">In order for students to demonstrate, their understanding that the founding of America was shaped by many different people, cultures, and industries students will be creating a Wiki Page. This will allow me to see that students have a good understanding of how our country and state was formed, and an understanding of how the state of Maine played a factor in this. Students will reflect on how the culture of Maine was shaped by the co-existence of the colonists and the Native Americans. Students will create a Wiki Page. They will use hyperlinks within their wiki to support their reasoning for how the culture of Maine was shaped by the colonists and Native Americans. Students will be evaluated based on teacher and peer checklists.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Integration__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Technology:** **Students will be utilizing Type II technology by creating a Wiki. I will be utilizing Type II technology by giving students timely feedback by commenting on their wiki websites.**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Content Areas:**
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">English: ****<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will be getting on a discussion board and debating their views. They will have to form opinion statements, and defend their views. **
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Music: **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> Students will be using songs to represent and describe the Colonial Era.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Groupings__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Describing Wheel. Students will put the main topic in the center and put supporting evidence around the outside wheel to show their understandings. This will help students determine how people, the geography, and events influenced our country. Groups will be determined using the seasonal partner system. Groups of four will be determined by having the groups of seasonal partners pairing with another group of seasonal partners.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Section II – Groups and Roles for Product** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Each member will contribute the information they have on their worksheets to the group so students may share their ideas, and add anything to their worksheets they did not have before. Students will be checking their worksheets to make sure they have all of the covered content. Students will work in these groups and they will work cooperatively. At the end of the class, students will reflect on their contributions to the team and their group members. Students will be graded upon these reflections, and observations by the teacher will determine the grade and contributions of each student.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Differentiated Instruction__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__MI Strategies__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Logical:** Students will be split into teams of four. They will pretend to be colonists that just arrived in this new world and they must come up with a strategy to survive the harsh winter.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Naturalist:** Students will look at a region of their choice from the 17th century and explain the geography of the land and why this place would be a good place to live or not.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Interpersonal:** Students will get on a discussion board and debate their views.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Musical:** Students will find a song that best describes an event from the Colonial Era.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Visual:** Students will make a timeline of events that occurred following the colonists arrival. Include pictures.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Linguistic:** Students will comment on each other’s wiki's and provide positive feedback.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Modifications/Accommodations__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> //**From IEP’s (Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan)** I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.//

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Plan for accommodating absent students:**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students must have a valid excuse for being absent. Any student who is absent must see me the school day of their return. They will collect the work, and will have a period of one day per absence to turn in the work. Students will not be responsible for any unannounced quiz the day of their return, but if a test or quiz has been previously announced the student will still be responsible for taking it. Students will meet with their partners or groups in order to get any notes from group work or in class notes. There will also be a Wiki page for the class with all assignments listed.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **__Extensions__**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Type II technology:** **Students will be utilizing Type II technology by creating a Wiki.**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> **Gifted Students:** <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">If students are looking for more of a challenge, they can complete an activity using Maine Memory Networks. Students will get on the website located here: []. Students will explore the site, and search a city in Maine. After exploring the site, they will complete a blog entry explaining what they found, and what they liked about the site.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Groups will be determined using the seasonal partner system. Students will use rubrics and checklists to show they understand the material and are on track. In order for students to demonstrate, their understanding that the founding of America was shaped by many different people, cultures, and industries students will be creating a Wiki Page. This will allow me to see that students have a good understanding of how our country and state was formed, and an understanding of how the state of Maine played a factor in this. Students will reflect on how the culture of Maine was shaped by the co-existence of the colonists and the Native Americans. Students will create a Wiki Page. They will use hyperlinks within their wiki to support their reasoning for how the culture of Maine was shaped by the colonists and Native Americans. Students will be evaluated based on teacher and peer checklists. Students will have time outside of class to gather their information, and reflect on the main ideas. Students will work in small groups to give each other feedback, swap tips, and give suggestions. They will check with the rubric to make sure they are meeting all the criteria. Students will take this information and then continue to work on their final product **(Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine). TAILORS: Naturalist, Linguistic, Interpersonal.**
 * <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Student will be able to demonstrate **<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> that there were several key factors that played into the emergence and founding of the original American colonies. This is using the self-knowledge facet. I will facilitate the learning process by helping students understand how important the geography and the Native Americans helped to shape our country, as well as various industries. Students will get a better understanding of how their own state was shaped. Students will be doing this through a variety of activities such as looking at the geography of the region, as well as describing how they would survive the harsh colonial winters. I will provide the students with learning opportunities so that they will be able to understand how Native Americans, geography, and industry shaped our nation so that they will be able to fulfill this facet of understanding.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Students will be self-assessing using reflections**.** Throughout the unit students will have a few minutes of class time to reflect, and will write one paragraph responses reflecting on how they are doing in the unit, what they think they still misunderstand, and what they could do to improve. Students will turn these into the me, and as long as they have responded to these questions will receive full credit.
 * __<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">Fourth Section: __**

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">I will provide timely feedback to students by having students discuss what has been covered so far and compare their flow charts, ask questions in the group, and then ask any remaining questions to the teacher. As a class, we will briefly review everything that has been covered so far in a short concise way, and then students will discuss with others around them the content that has been taught thus far. They will check with each other to make sure they have correct notes, and ask questions within in these groups. If there are still questions that persist then at the end of the review students will address these to the teacher. Students will receive feedback from their peers during this review process, and then have time to review themselves and make any changes. Following these students will receive teacher feedback in the form of quick short individual meetings between the teacher and student to make sure all content thus far is understood.

// This connects to the final product and the previous lessons because in the final product, students are creating a brochure, and they must incorporate many various aspects such as geography, and industry. Students must be aware of everything that affected colonists when they arrived here. By completing this unit, students will have a full understanding of how their country came to be, and what occurred for the colonists to arrive here. Students will be able to make connections between the past and the present as well. The final assessment is a culmination of the information of every lesson **(EVALUATE).** **TAILORS: Linguistic.** //

Students will come up with their own definitions, and then they will find textbook definitions, and then compare and contrast the two different definitions. This will allow me to see where there are still misunderstandings so I can use this information and clear them up.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">As a formative assessment, students will complete an exit ticket to check their understanding. This will demonstrate any misunderstandings, and then I can clear them up during the next class.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"> //**Summative:**// <span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">In order for students to demonstrate, their understanding that the founding of America was shaped by many different people, cultures, and industries students will be creating a Wiki Page. This will allow me to see that students have a good understanding of how our country and state was formed, and an understanding of how the state of Maine played a factor in this. Students will reflect on how the culture of Maine was shaped by the co-existence of the colonists and the Native Americans. Students will create a Wiki Page. They will use hyperlinks within their wiki to support their reasoning for how the culture of Maine was shaped by the colonists and Native Americans. Students will be evaluated based on teacher and peer checklists.

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">For an authentic assessment, I had students do this:

<span style="color: #000000; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';">You are a museum curator at the Norlands Living History Center. You received a call from the History Channel yesterday. You have been selected as a finalist from several museums throughout the country to participate in a chance to be sponsored by the History Channel. If your museum wins, you will be featured on a commercial advertising your museum and the History Channel will pay to open a new exhibit. You have decided if you win, you will expand your living history to include the 17th century. Your task is to create a brochure that is written from the point of view of a colonist of your choosing. This must be presented to the History Channel's media board. If chosen there will be various pamphlets that visitors can have, so they can follow the life of a colonist. You must choose to be someone from the 17th century from the list provided. You will describe your life and events seen through the colonists eyes and put this on your brochure. You must address things such as problems, and/or tensions in the colony, what this "new world" is like including the geography, what food you eat, and how you dress, and the politics of the time. Live the life of the colonist you chose. Have fun and good luck!
