My Second Lesson Plan!

This lesson plan was done in a group of 2. We are getting closer to teaching alone.



HEADING (1 pt)
Name: Katie Turner and James Hoff                                                 School: Valley City State University
Room: EML 378                                                                                     Content: History/ Language Arts
Time: 9:30-10:45                                                                                   Topic: Progressivism Theory in Education
Date: November 6th, 2012                                                                     Lesson: Progressivism Worksheet and Lesson
CONTENT STANDARDS/COMMON CORE
OBJECTIVES (3 pts)
The learners will to the best of their ability complete 3 of the 4 questions on a worksheet after our lesson on progressivism in a group of 3 other students using the textbook Your Introduction to Education, and other online sources by looking them up on their laptops.
MATERIALS/EQUIPMENT (2 pts)
  ·        The directions sheet, 8 copies of the worksheet the students will be completing, the textbook Your introduction to Education, sheet that states the website URL’s on them, and the use of the projector to project the directions onto the white board.
·       The students will need groups of 4, a pencil/pen, the worksheet, directions sheet, sheet that has the URL’s on them, class textbook Your Introduction to Education,  and laptops.
·        There will be 8 total copies of the worksheet, directions sheet, and URL worksheets.  One for every group of 4 and also a copy for the professor. The worksheet, directions, and URL sheet are all on white 8.5 by 11 inch paper. 
INTRODUCTION (3 pts)
·        Begin by stating what our topic is on, progressivism.  we will ask the learners to raise their hands if they have heard of the theory progressivism before.  After the response, we will explain the reason for teaching the theory of progressivism and that it is about teaching the whole child, and it is important to understand different theories of education. We will discuss the assignment that is going to be given to work on during the lesson on progressivism and how to complete the worksheet. 
DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES (4 pts)
·        Raise your hand and take a guess at what progressivism theory is mainly about?
·        We expect that the students haven’t learned much about progressivism theories in education before. 
·        We will be using the overhead projector to explain the directions of our activity, and will hand out the worksheet and URL page as well before explaining the directions.

CLOSING ACTIVITIES (2 pts)
·        Give each child a post-it-note and have them write down what made sense to them the most about progressivism and what they would like to learn more about, then have them hand in the sticky to the front of the room in a pile. 
·        We will review content information the following day after reading through the post-it-notes. 
EVALUATION OF STUDENT LEARNING (3 pts)
·        We will know that the objectives were met if the students completed 3 of the 4 questions of the worksheet correct, and if they completed the post-it-note after the lesson and gave their feedback. 
·        What is your proof that standards and objectives have been met?

Having a discussion about progressivism after the worksheet is complete will show that objectives have been met. Also, for those not willing to participate vocally, the written sticky note will give proof.

·        If the students completed an “I can…statement”, what would you know about their learning?
I can understand progressivism at a higher level than before the worksheet was given.
·        Assign a grade/percentage (if appropriate)
 No grade for this assessment.
ASSIGNMENT – No assignment for this lesson.
