2012-01-31T08:13:00.000-08:00

Lesson Plans: Week of 01/09/12-01/13/12

Monday: Take roll; “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” I will make my introduction to the class and commence class introductions. I will then ask them to submit a slip of paper with a few of their favorite music groups, songs, etc. Then I will lecture through the end of Chapter 19, Section 1. I will remind them that there will be a possible ten point quiz from the reading and the lecture covering Chapter 19, Section 1.

Tuesday: Take roll; Quote of the Day and Today in History. I will let them know that whoever wants to make a name tag for their desk will receive three extra credit points by Friday. I will then present the class with this anticipatory prompt: “How did the Scientific Revolution have an impact beyond the realm of science?” They are to then review their reading of what they did for homework the previous night. I will then administer a short quiz (10 matching items). Then I will lecture for the rest of the hour and assign homework. This will consist of the Chapter 19, Section I assessment (1a-4b, p. 573). This will be due at the beginning of class Wednesday.

Wednesday: Take roll; “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” I will collect homework from freshmen. I will then give an anticipatory prompt and then continue covering the lecture (Chapter 19, Section II). This will cover the Enlightenment and Age of Reason including the pivotal people involved in the movement. This will last for the remainder of time.

Thursday: Take roll; “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” I will collect homework from the sophomores (Chapter 19, Section 1). Then I will go over the quiz that they took. I then presented them with the anticipatory question as follows: “How do you think Enlightenment ideas led to revolution, independence, and a new government for the United States?” They are to think about this independently, share with their neighbor, and then round-robin with the class. Then I will continue on with the American Revolution lecture since I could not get a library block until Friday. The last five minutes of class will be used to explain the “Pivotal Thinkers of the Enlightenment” project and remind them of their extra credit name tags.

Friday: Take roll; “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” Then I will go around the room to see who has their name tags and mark down extra credit accordingly. I asked the students if they had any questions regarding the assignment. I then broke them into groups of three and had one representative draw out of a basket to randomly select their person for the “Pivotal Thinkers of the Enlightenment” project. They gathered the art supplies that I provided for them and will go down to the library to research and commence working on their projects. This will be tentatively due by the end of the hour Monday.

Lesson Plans: Week of 01/16/12-01/20/12

Monday: Take roll; Start off with the “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” Then the class gathered their supplies and projects that they started on Friday and went back to the library to work on “Pivotal Thinkers of the Enlightenment” project. I administrated by walking around, checking progress, and made sure students were on task. Initially this was due by the end of the hour, but gauging their progress, I felt they needed more time. The goal is to have the projects completed by early tomorrow. Devised and wrote test for Friday.

Tuesday: Take roll; Start off with the “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” First 15 minutes to work and finish “Pivotal Thinkers of the Enlightenment.” Lecture for the rest of the hour with media clips covering the sons of liberty to battles in the American Revolution. Homework is to read Chapter 19, Section II.

Wednesday: Take roll; Start off with the “Quote of the Day” and “Today in History.” Then I will get right into the lecture. This will cover the Battle of Yorktown, Articles of Confederation, the Constitution, federal systems of government and the U.S. Bill of Rights. Homework will be Chapter 19, section III review on page 585 of Human Legacy. This will be due at the beginning of the class Thursday.

Thursday: I won’t be here, but it is a study/review day for the test on Friday. Class time will be used explicitly for reading the text, studying notes, and asking questions/concept clarity.

Friday: Take roll, make sure cell phones are turned off and desks are bare of academic material. The test will then be administered. It consists of 24 matching, 13 multiple choice, 2 short answer, and 1 extra credit items. It is worth a total of 56 points. After the students are done, they are to turn in their test and familiarize themselves with Chapter 20, Section I.

Lesson Plans: Week of 01/23/12-01/27/12

Monday: Test Review commences at 7:30 a.m. Take roll, quote of the day, today in history. I explained the Chapter 19 Test, and gave test directives (i.e. cell phones off, books, and all other academic materials off of the desks). I will then administer the tests. When the students are done, they are to make sure their name (first and last) is on it and then turn it into the folder on Mr. McFarland’s desk. After that, they are to sit quietly and read Ch. 20, section 1. This is to be done for homework if the reading was not completed in class. I will also remind them to come to me when a day is missed.

Tuesday: Take roll, quote of the day, today in history. I will then start class by handing back the Chapter 19 tests and going over them including strategies to take objective tests. If there are any individual student questions concerning the test in any way, they are to see me after class or in seminar. I will then present them with an anticipatory question concerning the French Revolution. We will then start the Chapter 20 powerpoint over the French Revolution-remainder of time. I will also remind them that this chapter is online under ‘Handouts.’

Wednesday: Take roll, quote of the day, today in history. I will then present the class with an anticipatory question concerning the previous day’s lecture/reading. I will then continue with the lecture and aim to get through the first section. I will then assign Section 1 Assessment (1a-3b, p. 599) as homework. Remainder of time. I will then pose a reminder that there will be a quiz over Chapter 20, Section 1 on Friday.

Thursday: I will be gone, so Mr. McFarland will administer the quiz over Chapter 20, Section 1. Take roll. The rest of the hour will be devoted to reading Chapter 20, Section 2 and probably watching a short video over the storming of the Bastille.

Friday: Take roll, quote of the day, today in history. I will then present the class with an anticipatory question over Chapter 20, Section 2 and continue with the class lecture. Remainder of time and possible assignment.
