Maine Learning Results Alignment

Maine Learning Results: Social Studies E. History E1 Historical knowledge, concepts, themes, and patterns Students understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in United States and world history, including the roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and institutions in the world. Grade 9-Diploma “The Great Depression and the New Deal (1929-1941)” A) Explain that history includes the study of past based on the examination of a variety of primary and secondary sources and how history can help one better understand and make informed decisions about present and future. The students will use Photoshop to create a scrapbook of their life as a worker, farmer, or child during the Great Depression and using captions to show knowledge and understanding through this form of story telling.

Assessment

Formative (Assessment for Learning) Students will hand in a hard copy of their scrapbook and it will be handed out with peer evaluations to their classmates to grade (all will be taken into account). The students will be given 2 rubrics on this, one for their peers and one for the teacher (the same rubric). The scores from both rubrics will be then average into a final grade for the students scrapbooks.

Summative (Assessment of Learning) The students will do research in class on the living conditions and ways of life during this time. The students will create a scrapbook using iPhoto or any other program they choose. In the end the students will be graded by their peers and the teacher after they hand in a final hard copy of their scrapbook.

Integration

Type II Technology: For the hook the teacher will be showing a slide show that the kids will be looking at, and the students will be creating in the end a scrapbook using iPhoto.

Art: The creation of their scrapbooks. English: Creating a fake life of people during the Great Depression. Theater: Taking on the role of people during the Great Depression.

Groupings The teacher will do attendance while the students walk in they will be handed a card with a picture of a person from the Depression era and it will have a story on the back; this will determine what groups they’re in. They will need to find the grouping of desks with the name of the picture. The students will go into Jigsaw groups by finding other classmates who have the same card as they do to begin working on researching, while the teacher puts on some music from this era. This consists of groups with three students are set up. Each group member is assigned some unique material to learn (the depressions effects on children, workers, and farmers life) and then to teach to his/ her group members. To help in the learning students across the class working on the same sub-section (children, workers, and farmers) get together to decide what is important and how to teach it, being the now “experts” on it. After practice in these "expert" groups the original groups reform and students teach each other.

Differentiated Instruction

Strategies Logical: The students must be able to recreate a life of a person of that time based on their knowledge from class and outside research. Visual: The students will watch a slideshow and create a scrapbook for the class to view. Naturalist: The students will be able to go outside to take pictures for their scrapbook if they'd like. Interperosnal: The students will discuss and research helpful sites in groups. Intrapersonal: The students will be evaluating themselves and other students Scrapbooks. Musical: While the students are working in their groups on researching and developing, the teacher will be playing music from that era to pump them up and get them in the mood of feeling what they felt as people going through these tough times.

Modifications/Accommodations I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Absent Students My attendance policy goes as follows: if you miss a class for a legitimate reason that is cleared from the school see me and we will work on getting you caught up. If you know that you are going to be out in advance, please see the teacher in advance so that you do not fall behind and become overwhelmed. The student will have to try to grab as many notes from me as needed and meet with someone from their class and compare notes. The student must consult the teacher to get a deadline.

Extensions For the hook the teacher will be showing a slide show that the kids will be looking at, and the students will be creating in the end a scrapbook using iPhoto. The students will use iPhoto to create a scrapbook of their life as a worker, farmer, or child during the Great Depression and using captions to show knowledge and understanding through this form of story telling. This will bring students attention to the conditions of living at the time. The students will understand the Depressions effects on the people and be able to recreate a life of a person of that time based on their knowledge from class and outside research. The scrapbook will bring this all to life!

Teaching and Learning Sequence:

Agenda: Day One: The teacher will do attendance while the students walk in and they will be handed a card with a picture on it and a description on the back. They will need to find the grouping of desks with the name of the picture (3 mins). The students will walk into the classroom and there will be a slideshow of pictures going on (5 mins). The teacher will ask the students how the pictures made them feel and if this is what they had been picturing (7 mins). The teacher will explain what the conditions where and how it really effected the people going into Dorothea Lange, the Dust Bowl, Strikes, Labor Unions, the New Deal, Hoover, FDR, Eleanor, and Public Works (25 mins). The teacher will send the students will do research in class on the living conditions and ways of life during this time by grouping them finding the other people with the same pictures (30 mins). The teacher will hand out letters from people during the Depression to the First Lady Mrs. Roosevelt for the students to begin to read and continue to read when they get home (10 mins). Day Two: The students will come in with their scrapbooks and they will be handed into the teacher as the teacher calls role/ attendance. (10 mins). The teacher will hand out the peer evaluations and pass out the scrapbooks randomly to the students to go through and evaluate (20 mins). The students will be able to have a chance to share their Scrapbooks (20 mins). The teacher will open the floor for discussion on findings and clarification on things that students were still curious about. The teacher will also use this time to go over the letters to Mrs. Roosevelt (20 mins). The students can use the last ten minutes to look at other peoples scrapbooks and do as they please. The students will understand the Depressions effects on the people and will learn how hard the Depression hit the people of the time. The students will understand the historic influences in United States and world history, including the roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and institutions in the world. The students will walk into the classroom and there will be a slideshow of pictures going on. These pictures at the beginning of class will be able to really capture the students, and hopefully bring meaning to studying the Depression and realization of how bad the conditions got in some areas.

The teacher will make sure that the Students will know and be able to show understand the following key terms, people, and events: Dorothea Lange, Dust Bowl, Strikes, Labor Unions, the New Deal, Hoover, FDR, Eleanor, and Public Work. The students will do research in class on the living conditions and ways of life during this time. The students will create a scrapbook using iPhoto or any other program they choose. The students will be graded by their peers and the teacher. Students will hand in a hard copy of their scrapbook and it will be handed out with peer evaluations to their classmates to grade (all will be taken into account). The students will be given 2 rubrics on this, one for their peers and one for the teacher (the same rubric). The scores from both rubrics will be then average into a final grade for the students scrapbooks. These things will be checked so that the teacher can check for full understanding of the subject before moving on.

The students will look at photo's and read letters to Eleanor Roosevelt to help them get an insight into the lives and opinions of people at the time. The students will go into a jigsaw grouping, and work as a group to research and discuss. Students will go into Jigsaw groups working on researching, while the teacher puts on some music from this era. This consists of groups with three students are set up. Each group member is assigned some unique material to learn (the depressions effects on children, workers, and farmers life) and then to teach to his/ her group members. To help in the learning students across the class working on the same sub-section (children, workers, and farmers) get together to decide what is important and how to teach it, being the now “experts” on it. After practice in these "expert" groups the original groups reform and students teach each other. The students will use iPhoto to create a scrapbook of their life as a worker, farmer, or child during the Great Depression and using captions to show knowledge and understanding through this form of story telling. The students will look up and read pictures and stories before diving into their scrapbooks. Students will fill in a Tree graph, mapping out the different stories in class about the effects on people. The students will go over their plan/ rough draft by the teacher The students will then create the iPhoto scrapbook, send it out as a JPEG, post it to their blog, and the students will have to look at and comment on each others blogs while also filling out the peer evaluations.
