2 LESSON PLAN AND TEACHER S NOTES Motivation /Background Building Stimulus Picture: Teacher shows pictures of US money (Google images US paper bills ) projected onto the whiteboard screen and students discuss what and who they see while talking with a partner. Whole class check to match pictures and names. Information Grid: Students receive USA History and Government information grid and interview four other students around the classroom by asking the questions from the information grid and writing down key words other students say in the blank spaces. Whole class check. Presentation 1 This week, we will be looking at major events and people from USA history. Listening: Students receive A Promise of Freedom questions. With a partner, they try and answer the questions. The whole class then watches the video and students check and expand on their answers as they watch. It might be a good idea to assign students or table groups to listen for specific answers, rather than all of them. Whole class checks answers. Practice 1 A. Jigsaw Reading or Jigsaw Listening: In two groups, students read the Martin Luther King Jr. paragraph and the American Revolution paragraph. They take notes as a table group and then share their notes with a partner from the other group using the Jigsaw worksheet. Alternatively, you could make this a jigsaw listening by halving the class, and having one group listen to a Brainpop video of their given topic the other group waiting at a location outside of the classroom, swap, and then verbally share the information with a partner from the other group. Students take notes while they listen to their partner. Whole class check. B. Reading/Grammar: In the Future 3 Workbook, students do the activities on page 136 and 137 to review superlative adjectives. Partner check/ Whole class check. C. KWL Reading: Each student is given a KWL worksheet. Students are asked What do you know about the capital of the USA? and then brainstorm in table groups. What questions do you have about this? Whole class brainstorms 4-6 questions and writes them onto their KWL worksheet. Students then scan The Nation s Capital Finds a Home article (Future 3 workbook p. 142, 143) and answers their compiled questions. Partner check/ Whole class check. Students then continue onto p. 143 choosing best summary (skimming question), choosing True/False statements, and completing cloze sentences using boldfaced vocabulary words from the text. Partner check/ whole class check. D. Jigsaw Reading: Uncle Sam Activity Book p. 84, 85, 87, 88. Class is divided into two groups. Each student is given 4 pages (back to back) of these worksheets. Student A will sit and work with other student A classmates and read and answer the questions for Civil Rights Leaders. Student B, meanwhile, will work on the other text More Civil Rights Leaders. When each group has finished, students are partnered with somebody from the other group. 2
3 Student A will ask student B the questions and student B will tell them the answers verbally. Student A will write the answers down. Swap and repeat. Whole class check of answers. Presentation 2 Writing: Using the notes from the jigsaw reading/listening exercise above, the whole class writes a sample paragraph about Martin Luther King Jr. on a Microsoft Word document projected onto the whiteboard. When paragraph draft is finished, class checks to see if it has the qualities of a paragraph by checking against a Paragraph 1 st edit checklist. After making any necessary adjustments, the class uses the 2 nd edit checklist. When the paragraph has had a 1 st edit and 2 nd edit, the teacher can publish and print. Students now have a sample paragraph to use as a model. Application and Evaluation Writing: Students choose a person or event from a class brainstorm of all people and events elicited during the week. Using the Brainstorming Sheet, students start to research their own topic, taking notes in the spaces provided. Show students different places to research online (Brainpop, History.com, Wikipedia, etc.) Students then do a 1 st draft using Microsoft Word on the computer and two rounds of editing using the 1 st and 2 nd edit checklists. When the final draft is completed, students print/publish and display in the classroom. Extension Activities for the Classroom and Beyond Class goes on a field trip to Washington DC to the Museum of American History and/or Arlington Cemetery and researches for their particular topic. Speaking Presentation: More advanced students (level 450) can give table top presentations on their topic. Students, in table groups, individually present their topic by speaking, using their own words, using their brainstorming notes. Students do not read their paragraphs! Listeners ask questions at conclusion of 3-5 minute presentations. Students then move to a different group and report on the presentation that they heard. Use the 450 Speaking Presentation Sheet. 3

6 Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Martin Luther King Jr. was an African-American civil rights leader who spent his life to achieve equality for all Americans using non-violent tactics. He was born in 1929 in Atlanta, Georgia into a middle class family and his father and grandfather were Baptist ministers. He studied religion in Boston and Philadelphia and he noticed that he was treated better in the northern states. After this, he went back to Georgia and became a pastor and a community leader. He managed to change some segregation laws and he gave a speech at the March on Washington demonstration, which he helped to organize. He was arrested many times and despite this, he kept campaigning for civil rights for everyone. He won the Nobel Peace Prize for his work. In 1968, he was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee by James Earl Ray, a white supremacist. Today, he is honored with a monument in Washington DC as well as a national holiday on January 15 th, his birthday, to remember his life and achievements. By Sean Cambage The American Revolution The United States of America became independent after fighting a war for eight years with Britain - called the American Revolution. The revolution began on April 19 th, 1775 at Lexington, Massachusetts when colonists tried to defend a secret munitions stockpile from the British. This started a call for colonists to separate from Britain and to declare a new country. On July 4 th, 1776, several leaders, called the Founding Fathers, made a declaration of independence. This long and bitter war was fought across the 13 colonies for eight years and finally, in 1783, after the Battle of Yorktown, the British surrendered and went north to Canada. The United States of America was now a recognized country in the world and was free to act independently. 6
