Direct Instruction Lesson Plan World War II Amy Roth Laura Scholl Shannon Smith 1939 ~ 1945
GOALS • Our goal is to create a more clear account of World War II, as well as, a time line of the events that occurred. • Also, we wish to help you (the students) relate to the time period in a more concrete matter.
OBJECTIVES • Students will be able to construct the first page of a ten-page booklet by creating a concept map, which focuses on their understandings of the assigned readings on the World War II Unit with 70 percent accuracy. • After listening to a World War II Veteran Speaker, students will be able to generate the second page of their ten-page booklet by writing a one-page reflection paper pertaining to the veteran’s recollections, as well as, their own thoughts and perceptions of life at this time with 90 percent accuracy.
ADDITIONAL OBJECTIVE • With 100 percent accuracy, students will identify the most accurate answer on the short answer worksheet pertaining to their assigned readings and the time-line on the World War II Unit.
METHODS/STRATEGIES Activity One: • Have students clear their desks • Pass out stationery for the booklet to each student • Have students construct a concept map pertaining to their reading assignments • Before they begin, guide students by illustrating an example on the board, as well as, introducing some key elements to their concept maps. • After finishing their maps, ask students to help you construct a “key” on the board generated from their concept maps they produced.
METHODS/STRATEGIES Activity Two: • Speaker will reminisce about World War II • Students will be required to take notes and ask at least one question • Students will complete a one-page reflection paper pertaining to the Veteran’s recollections
COMPLETION • Reintroduce Time-Line • In class discussion, ask students if they have any questions, comments, and/or concerns about the lesson • (Idea) – reflections
ENRICHMENT • In order to have students reflect on their experiences for the day, we believe that a class discussion is in order. * Ask specific question(s) relating to the Veteran Speaker such as “How would your life be different if there was another World War and you had to serve in it?”
ASSESSMENT • Group Participation • Analysis of concept map • Reflection paper on the Veteran Speaker • Comprehension with use of a worksheet
