4 Assessments: Formative assessments can be used to adjust teaching and learning while they are happening within the classroom. Formative assessments can inform both teachers and students when instructional adjustments should be made and helps teachers determine next steps during the learning process. Some examples of formative assessments may include, but are not limited to the following: assessment books, unit tests, Chapter Test Forms A and B, standardized test practice, activity sheet, and teacher-made common assessment tests. Use formative assessments to guide instructional planning toward students progress and their learning goals. Formative assessments answer the important question of how do you know what the students need to learn. 6Retellings is a strategy that allows students to summarize what they understand about the text with a partner or group. 6Think-Pair-Share or Think Pair Share Square: The teacher presents a question or topic for discussion. Students are given think time (1-2 minutes) before sharing with one other student (again, 1-2 minutes). Optional: Student pairs can share again with another pair of students. 6Hand Signals is a strategy used by teachers to rate or indicate students understanding of content. Thumbs up indicates, I understand and can explain; thumbs sideways means, I am not completely sure; and thumbs down signals, I do not yet understand. Journals will be used by students to record their understanding of the topic, concept or lesson taught. 6Quick Write is an exercise/strategy that could generate multiple ideas that could be turned into longer pieces of writing at a later time. The use of Graphic Organizers is an effective way to guide students thinking. Expository text is one of the most difficult types of readings students will encounter. The use of graphic organizers should be used to assist students in comprehending and retrieving information. They can be used before, during, and after reading of text to increase students learning : is a strategy that can be used as an exit slip -3 things they learned; 2 things they have questions about; 1 thing they did not understand. This strategy works well with any lesson. Teacher Observation helps to assess the degree to which students understand the content being taught and can provide the teacher with information about the effectiveness of their teaching methods. Observation works well when the teacher wishes to monitor how students work together in groups or individually. The teacher takes notes on how students are performing and also whether or not modifications need to be made to the assignment. The purpose of RAFT is to give students a fresh way to think about approaching their writing. It occupies a nice middle ground between standard, dry essays and free-for-all creative writing. After reading passages about the cultures of people that lived during different time periods, such as the Mississippian Period, ask students to identify reasons for the different cultures from each time period changed or migrated. This can be done by having students do a 6Quickwrite, or 6Retell the information. 4
5 Students can do a 6Quickwrite that compares similarities and differences of life on the frontier for Indians and white settlers, describing Andrew Jackson s involvement in the War of 1812 that led him to become President of the United States. Summative assessments can be used to gauge students learning relative to content standards. They are given to determine what students have mastered. Some examples of summative assessments include, but are not limited to the following: state assessments, district benchmarks, weekly tests, end of unit tests, and end of term exams Summative Assessment I: Pre-Test, August 25- September 5, 2014 Post-Test, October 1-15, 2014 Instructional Consideration: Before: The teacher should consider beginning the lesson by discussing and completing a K-W-L chart. A K-W- L is a graphic organizer that can be used to check the background knowledge of students. The L part of the chart will be completed toward the end of the lesson. Another option is to engage students with a read aloud of Y is for Yellowhammer, an ABC book about Alabama. Use the Promethean Board for whole classroom discussions, or to project links embedded in this section and the technologysection. K-W-L The teacher should consider unpacking the standards and searching for passages about specific topics such as Fort Condé, Fort Toulouse, and Fort Mims individually. Passages and books are available with Alabama State Government, when searching for broader topics like the War of 1812 and the Creek War in books about other states. Thematic maps will be taught throughout the year so do not spend too much time on them in isolation.

Once the small hand appears, click on the mouse (you must hold down the ctrl key as you click). 5
6 The teacher should integrate lessons with art and/or music. Address all learning styles by allowing students to draw/create the maps studied using different mediums. Reliefs maps and felt maps can be done to keep students engaged. Students can write various types of poems and add music. Students can illustrate vocabulary to deepen their understanding. Contemporary/Historical Maps (Alabama) Technology plays a major role in the lives of today s students. Students use Twitter, so can teachers. The teacher should allow students to create pretend tweets about historical events as if they were present during the times. Use the education section of the Alabama State Government site for a wealth of resources including a timelines. Students should use Interactive Journals as references or for use as a study guide. Foldables that compare European explorers or Native American tribes, graphic organizers such as the KWL, or poems about Alabama, are all samples of activities that may be included. Use EdWorks - Expect Success Rigor/Relevance Framework and Blooms Taxonomy for the lowest of questioning, then continuing to the higher levels. Blooms question stems or sites that include Bloom s questions stems with activities. Allow students to do what they enjoy doing, talking. One way to promote student discourse is to use the 6 Think-Pair-Share strategy during lessons. Students can talk about places they have visited in Alabama including a review of Maps showing both contemporary and historical population maps; for example: Facilitate discussions by providing the guidance/topic. Set parameters early and be consistent. Allow students to become familiar with the concepts/events by providing articles or texts about topics such as European exploration and explorers like Juan Ponce de Leon, Hernando de Soto, and Vasco Nunez de Balboa. The teacher should use cooperative groups to meet the needs of diverse learners and to meet the needs of students with various learning styles and interests. Be sure to include art and technology with the creation of props for the plays or displays for classroom presentations that are hands-on materials or digitally created ones. Have students create a booklet called What s Special About Alabama? The booklet should include information about each of the five landform regions, river systems, climate, and natural resources. Have students imagine that they live along Alabama s Gulf Coast. The National Weather Service has just issued a hurricane warning for your area. Create a To Do list telling how they would prepare for a 6
7 severe storm. For example, you might include providing for basic needs, electricity, or the lack thereof, to protect their family and home, or evacuation routes from the area. Students can write a reaction to a woman taking on her husband s role while he is fighting in the war; worrying about him not coming home; wondering what will happen shoild their people lose the war. Students can play Alabama Games after the unit has been completed. Students could research one of Alabama s tourist attractions. Use this information to create an in-depth travel brochure making sure to include information such as population, climate, places of interest, and directions from Alabama s larger cities. Include why tourists must see this attraction. Use primary sources when available such as primary documents about the War of After: Students should explain why each region is special, including how the landforms impacted the economic growth of the area. After each group assignment, have students present their research or report to the class. Use various sources to research Alabama s natural resources. Choose one natural resource and write a persuasive speech explaining why this resource should be protected. RAFT Students will choose one row to complete. They will write about the TOPIC from the perspective of the ROLE to the AUDIENCE using the FORMAT. Teachers may also allow the student to choose one item from each of the four columns. Provide an audience for the students to present their products. RAFT Students will choose one row to complete.

8 Differentiation: Intervention: Use cooperative learning groups as need for struggling students. Use manipulatives and handouts such as an Alabama map. Students can label the five geographic regions during one lesson and Alabama s major rivers and battles. Allow students to use their prior knowledge of physical features of Alabama to infer reasons for settlement in Alabama. On Level: Have students write letters to develop dialogue between similar profiles on different sides of the war: the wives of a Redstick and a militiaman could begin writing to one another. Acceleration: Prepare scenarios describing the impact of hurricanes at a particular location (i.e., New Orleans, Gulf Coast, and Atlantic Coast). Assign students to work in groups of three to four - one as the reporter, the other three as family members. Allow the entire group to come up with possible question the reporter. would ask. Groups can role-play each scenario, or involve members of the class to reenact a scenario. Students may create their own symbols for mountains, valleys, and cities, as well as other features such as rivers and wetlands. Students should be sure to make a map key and place the symbols in their appropriate place on the map. Explain how these geographic features influenced the locations of the largest cities. Accommodations: ELL/SPED The descriptors provide a starting point for working with ELS. It serves as a tool for planning. The Descriptors provide a continuum of English language development. As teachers become aware of their students English levels of proficiency, the descriptors provide sensory, graphics and interactive support needed to facilitate ELs access to content.

Lessons should be designed to introduce students to the activities, to provide background information and scaffolding, to prepare students for success in mastering the standards and grade-level expectations associated with the activities. Lesson plans should address individual needs of students and should include processes for re-teaching concepts or skills for students who need additional intervention. Students should be monitored throughout the work on all activities and group discussions. All student-developed products and student investigations should be evaluated as the 10
11 unit progresses. Use a variety of performance assessments to determine students understanding and comprehension. Select assessments consistent with the types of products that result from the student activities. As you plan for this unit, consider the learning styles of all students. This year-long study focuses on skills necessary for students to organize information about people, places, and environments in a spatial context. This unit serves as a suggested guide for your instructional planning, and is not intended take away the autonomy from you, the teacher. Your Scott Foresman Social Studies Kit came with leveled nonfiction social studies readers; do not forget to use them. It is recommended that you include a balance of fiction and nonfiction materials for your students. Looking Ahead: Use Unit 1 as a springboard for Unit 2. In Unit 2, our focus skills will continue to be on main idea and supporting details, summarizing, and illustrating. Our content focus will cover: Alabama s entry into statehood and of its three branches of government and the constitutions, cultural, economic and political aspects of the lifestyle of early nineteenth-century, and social and educational changes during the late nineteenth-century and early twenty centuries for their impact on Alabama. 11
