Assessment

Formative (Assessment for Learning) The students will break into 5 Partner groups and discussed one of the 5 W's, then they will switch so that they can share the information they had accumulated. The students will fill out the 5 W's chart that will be given out. The students will then get a chance to take a closer look into the chart and add as they please. In the end there will be a checklist and a rubric to make sure that the students hit all the key components.

Summative (Assessment of Learning) There will be a checklist and a rubric to make sure that the students hit all the key components and will be graded on whether or not they hit everything on the checklist.

Integration Type II Technology: The students will walk in and the hook for the day will be a YouTube video. The students will also be creating a GarageBand news report for their assignment.

Economics: The students will be analyzing the fall of the economy. English: The students will be taking on the role of a radio broadcaster in the midst of the Depression and create the script. Theater: The students will be taking on the role of playing radio broadcasters during the midst of the Depression.

Groupings Students will break into five Partner groups and discussed one of the 5 W's, then they will switch so that they can share the information they had accumulated. In this activity the class will be divided into teams of four. Partners move to one side of the room. Half of each team is given an assignment to master to be able to teach the other half. Partners work to learn and can consult with other partners working on the same material. Teams go back together with each set of partners teaching the other set. Partners quiz and tutor teammates. Team reviews how well they learned and taught and how they might improve the process.

Differentiated Instruction

Strategies Verbal: The GarageBand news report that the students will create. Logical: They must create a script and apply their knowledge to their news cast. Kinesthetic: The students will perform and/or create dramas from the Depression, recreating them in a radio broadcast. Visual: The YouTube Video at the beginning of the class. Interpersonal: Work in groups to discuss the 5 W's. They will also be working in groups on their GarageBand. Musical: The students will be able to use music and sound effects in their GarageBand presentation.

Modifications/Accommodations I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Abscent 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 me in advanced 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 The students will become reporters from the Great Depression and Broadcast their analysis of the fall of the economy. The students will be researching the fall of the economy and then by analyzing their research the students will come to better understand the topics and why these things were happening. The analyzing gives the teacher a feeling of understanding. By listening to these 'radio broadcasts' the teacher can really get a good understanding on whether or not the whole class has a good sense of understanding. Also by the students presenting their 'radio broadcast' to the class, the students get to gain more knowledge from other students findings and interpretations.

Teaching and Learning Sequence:

Agenda: Day One:


 * Attendance and what is going on for the day (7 mins)
 * 5W’s in groups (10 mins)
 * Group Discussion (15 mins)
 * Expansion from the teacher if topics weren’t covered to satisfaction (13 mins)
 * Explanation of what their assignment is (10 mins)
 * Time in class to work on it (15 mins)

Day Two:


 * The students do any finishing touches, attendance, and set up (15 mins)
 * Students present their GarageBand Presentations

In this lesson the students will work to understand the major events up to this point in the Depression and how the effects were hitting the country. This is important to know so that they can begin to understand the concept of the effects on the United States and the toll it was taking on them and the world. Students will understand the major enduring themes. The students will walk in and there will be a YouTube video set up and ready to go for the beginning of class. This YouTube video lays out a small movie clip version of what the teacher is asking of the students. This YouTube video is set in place to really get the students to start thinking about how they want to say and express what they want to convey. This is a good example to start with because the video talks a little bit about how the economy is effecting America at the time. The students will really benefit from doing well on this GarageBand assignment, because it allows them to show deep understanding of the subject, really dig in deep into what the Great Depression meant for the United States, and gets them analyzing the events and economic turn-points in up until this point in the Depression. The students can use these analyzing skills in real like when looking at events in the news today. What, Where, Why, Hook, Tailor: Verbal, Spatial, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Bodily-kinesthetic, and Logical.

The students will hopefully know the following key terms, people, and events by the end of this lesson: Bonus Checks and Army, FDR, Hoover, Eleanor Roosevelt, Stock Market Crash, New Deal, Bank Holiday, Dust Bowl, Bootleggers, Prohibition, and Economy. The students will walk in and there will be a YouTube video set up and ready to go for the beginning of class and then the teacher will ask them to take out their books and notes. In this lesson the students will break into 5 Partner groups and discuss and look up one of the 5 W's on the chart that will be given out, then they will switch so that they can share the information they had accumulated. The students will fill out the 5 W's chart based on their findings and the findings shared by their classmates. The students will then get a chance to take a closer look into the chart and add as they please and the teacher will fill in the blanks of the spots that they feel were left out in the discussion. The GarageBand final product where the students will become reporters from the Great Depression and Broadcast their analysis of the fall of the economy will be a great example in the end to show their full understanding of the presented information. In the end there will be a checklist and a rubric to make sure that the students hit all the key components. Equip, Tailor: Verbal, Spatial, Logical, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, and Naturalist.

Students will explore the chain of events leading up to this point and be able to apply and expand on them in a 'radio newscast' where the students will become reporters from the Great Depression and Broadcast their analysis of the fall of the economy. In class they will start out by breaking into five partner groups and discussed one of the 5 W's, then they will switch so that they can share the information they had accumulated. In this activity the class will be divided into teams of four. Partners move to one side of the room. Half of each team is given an assignment to master to be able to teach the other half. Partners work to learn and can consult with other partners working on the same material. After the students break into the 5 Partner groups and discuss one of the 5 W's, then they will switch so that they can share the information they had accumulated. The students will fill out the 5 W's chart that will be given out. The students will then get a chance to take a closer look into the chart and add as they please. In the end the teacher will be able to tell by the 5W's chart, the class discussion, and the GarageBand whether the students fully understand the content. Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Tailor: Verbal, Interpersonal, Intrapersonal, Bodily-kinesthetic, Musical, Logical, and Spatial.

The checklist will make sure that the student has done everything and there will be a section at the bottom for the students to be able to give feedback to the teacher on whether or not they fully understand the content, if they feel ready to move on, and if the student feels like this was a helpful lesson. This lesson will connect into other lessons will the fall of the economy and the life of the people during this time. But this lesson will directly effect their final lesson when they create their own bill because they need to understand the effects of the Great Depression to be able to try and fix them.
