ACTION PLAN Mrs. NaziaShahzad DA SKBZ College English, Grade VI
Action Plan Methodology Contents: • Goals • Instructional Strategies • Solutions to Anticipated Challenges • Lesson Plan • Timeline • Resources
Long Term Long • Adopt 21st century teaching approaches to enhance student’s appreciation of scientific facts. • Understanding, managing, and creating effective oral, written and multimedia communication in a variety of forms and contexts. • Analyzing, accessing, managing, integrating, evaluating and creating information in a variety of forms and media. • Demonstrating teamwork and leadership, working productively with others. • Ability to frame, analyze and solve problems.
Short Term Goals • Incorporating multimedia in lesson plans • To enable them to understand the world around them. • To familiarize them with the different types of mountains. • To allow them to understand how these mountains are formed.
Types Of Mountains • Fold Mountains • Fault Mountains • Volcanic Mountains
FOLD MOUNTAINS Fold mountains are the most common type of mountain. The world’s largest mountain ranges are fold mountains. These ranges were formed over millions of years. • Fold mountains are formed when two plates collide head on, and their edges crumbled, much the same way as a piece of paper folds when pushed together. • Examples of fold mountains include: • Himalayan Mountains in Asia • the Alps in Europe • the Andes in South America • the Rockies in North America • the Urals in Russia
FACTS: • The Himalayan Mountains were formed when India crashed into Asia and pushed up the tallest mountain range on the continents. • In South America, the Andes Mountains were formed by the collision of the South American continental plate and the oceanicPacific plate.
Fault-block Mountains These mountains form when faults or cracks in the earth's crust force some materials or blocks of rock up and others down. • Instead of the earth folding over, the earth's crust fractures (pulls apart). It breaks up into blocks or chunks. Sometimes these blocks of rock move up and down, as they move apart and blocks of rock end up being stacked on one another. • Often fault-block mountains have a steep front side and a sloping back side. • Examples of fault-block mountains include: • the Sierra Nevada mountains in North America • the Harz Mountains in Germany
Volcanic Mountains Volcanic Mountains are formed when molten rock (magma) deep within the earth, erupts, and piles upon the surface. Magna is called lava when it breaks through the earth's crust. When the ash and lava cools, it builds a cone of rock. Rock and lava pile up, layer on top of layer. • Examples of volcanic mountains include: • Mount St. Helens in North America • Mount Pinatubo in the Philippines • Mount Kea and Mount Loa in Hawaii
remembering The different types of mountains.
UNDERSTANDING The formation of the different types of mountains
APPLYING Examples of different mountains all around the world.
To analyze Why these mountains differ from esch other in shapes
evaluate How much they have gathered the concepts through assessment worksheet
To create Students will prepare a booklet on Mountains and its Types
Instructional Strategies • I will provide opportunities for students to answer questions that require high order thinking. • I will allow students to research thus encouraging them to use internet, library etc. • I will provide students with time for group discussions. • I will ask questions that require students to explain how they came up with an answer. • I’ll allow students to summarize the topic to recap the main points. • I will assess the students through a worksheet.
Solution to anticipated challenges CHALLENGES: • Students may feel reluctant to participate in class discussion. • Students may be new to research work. • There may be some students who do not want to work together. SOLUTIONS: • They will be encouraged and appreciated by the teacher. • Students will be guided on how to do research using media resources. • I will randomly group students to encourage collaboration with all class members.
4th period: • Recap and Assessment worksheet • 3rd Period: • Collecting and discussing the assignment • 2nd Period: • Explanation & detailed discussion • 1st period: Introduction to the topic and giving them the assignment to gather information on the types of mountains
Resources: • Geography Alive – Book 1 by Peter Moss • www.woodlands-junior.kent.sch.uk/.../mountains/types.htm • Other teachers who teach my same grade and subject. • Word processing, multimedia and spreadsheets applications. • Intel Teach Program Getting Started Course manual.
Conclusion: By implementing my newly acquired 21st century teaching approaches, students will be empowered and will appreciate and gain a better knowledge of world around them
