CCSS E. History E1 historical knowledge, content, themes, and patterns 9-diploma : "The World in the Contemporary Era" //Students will understand major enduring themes and historic influences in the United States and World History, including the roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and institutions in the World.// To this point, the students have learned about the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles, the economic struggles nations went through, Hilter's rise to power, the causes of WWII, and the effects of war on soldiers. The students are now prepared to learn about the war itself. They will learn about tactical battles, important people, and other major themes. The content stated meets the standards previously mentioned.
 * __Maine Learning Results (MLR) or Common Core State Standards (CCSS) Alignment__**
 * Rationale:**

The students will fill out a Venn diagram that will compare and contrast WWI and WWII. I will have the students do a quick write so I can assess their progress.
 * __Assessments__**
 * __Formative (Assessment for Learning)__**
 * Section I – checking for understanding during instruction**
 * Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)**

I will have the students create a video montage of a topic on WWII. They will be graded on a rubric.
 * __Summative (Assessment of Learning):__**

I am using iMovie for my summative assessment. This will require the students to use their laptops, iMovie, and the internet. This lesson combines history and art. The students will have to use their knowledge of WWII and make a creatative montage about a certain topic in WWII.
 * __Integration__**
 * Technology:**
 * Content Areas:**

Venn Diagram - I will use the Venn Diagram to get the students to compare and contrast WWI and WWII.
 * __Groupings__**
 * Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction**

After they have finished their diagrams, they will compare them with their peers and check for similarities and differences.
 * Section II – Groups and Roles for Product**


 * __Differentiated Instruction__**
 * __MI Strategies__**

Mathematical - Calculate the percentage of Japanese troops left after each island battle. Visual - Draw a sketch of a new type of fighter plan using technology from the time period. Bodily - Create a replica of a fighter plane, battle ship, or bomb. Musical - Create a music video about World War II. Intrapersonal - Re-enact a battle with a group of friends. Interpersonal - Write an opinion essay on which side you thought you should have won. Naturalist - Compare and contrast the climates of Southeast Asia and Europe.


 * __Modifications/Accommodations__**
 * //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.//

I will have all of the work posted on-line, so the student will have the opportunity to complete work while sick. However, this is a best case scenario. Realistically, I will create quick, condensed versions of the information that we went over while the student was ill.
 * Plan for accommodating absent students:**

The syllabus will be posted on the class wiki, as well as all school work that is done in class and outside of class. In order to prevent students from copying off of each other, students will e-mail me all of their completed work that comes off of the Wiki. After I grade it, then the student will be allowed to post it on the wiki.
 * __Extensions__**
 * Type II technology:**

For gifted students, I will give them the list of multiple intelligence activities and have them complete one of their choosing.
 * Gifted Students:**

Laptop and charger Venn Diagrams MI activity list Rubrics

 * __Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale__**


 * //Standard 3 – Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**


 * //__Learning Styles__//**

Venn Diagram Dates and timelines Lots of structure Compare diagrams Class discussions Group Work Variety of activities Interactive lecture My lesson meets the needs of all of the learning styles stated above. For clipboard students, I have provided Venn diagrams, historical dates and timelines, and a structured lesson. I have allowed students to compare their diagrams and created a class discussion, which is what microscope learners relate well to. There is friendly group work for th puppy learns. Finally, beach ball learners will enjoy the various activities I will use in my interactive lecture.
 * //Clipboard://**

 * //Puppy://**
 * //Beach Ball://**
 * //Rationale://**
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**

See content notes
 * //Content Knowledge://**

E. History E1 historical knowledge, content, themes, and patterns 9-diploma : "The World in the Contemporary Era" //Students will understand major enduring themes and historic influences in th United States and World History, including the roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and institutions in the World//.
 * //CCSS://**

Reflect
 * //Facet://**

To this point, the students have learned about the aftermath of the Treaty of Versailles, the economic struggles nations went through, Hilter's rise to power, the causes of WWII, and the effects of war on soldiers. The students are now prepared to learn about the war itself. They will learn about tactical battles, important people, and other major themes. The content stated meets the standards previously mentioned.
 * //Rationale://**
 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//**

Mathematical - Calculate the percentage of Japanese troops left after each island battle. Visual - Draw a sketch of a new type of fighter plan using technology from the time period. Bodily - Create a replica of a fighter plane, battle ship, or bomb. Musical - Create a music video about World War II. Intrapersonal - Re-enact a battle with a group of friends. Interpersonal - Write an opinion essay on which side you thought you should have won. Naturalist - Compare and contrast the climates of Southeast Asia and Europe.
 * //MI Strategies://**

The syllabus will be posted on the class wiki, as well as all school work that is done in class and outside of class. In order to prevent students from copying off of each other, students will e-mail me all of their completed work that comes off of the Wiki. After I grade it, then the student will be allowed to post it on the wiki. I will also be using iMovie for my summative assessment.
 * //Type II Technology://**

For each lesson, the students will have the option to select one of the assignments stated under "MI Stategies" and do that instead of another assignment. This list will be on the class wiki and will be easily accessible. My goal for doing this is to find out which students identify with which intelligence the best. This way, I can more easily create assignments that will engage the entire class instead of a handfull of students. The students will fill out a Venn diagram that will compare and contrast WWI and WWII.
 * //Rationale://**
 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//**
 * //Formative://**

I will have the students do a quick write so I can assess their progress. I will also grade the student's video montages with a rubric.
 * //Summative://**

I believe that students should be able to ask each other questions and be able to gain assistance from their classmates, as well as from me. It creates a stronger classroom environment and will make the students more comfortable with each other. I will assess them and provide informal feedback as the lesson progresses. The formal feedback will come from the video montage they will create. I will use two seperate rubrics to grade their presentations.
