Reflect on:
Assessing Prior Knowledge:
Students need to have basic knowledge about war and soldiers in the century that they live in. They need to understand why people are sent off as soldiers and some basic things that they have. They need to know what an IMovie is and the basics about how to use the features associated with it. Prior knowledge will be assessed through the anticipatory set. I will use the discussion at the beginning of the lesson about the pictures that are projected up onto the screen to observe the experience and knowledge that my students have before this lesson. I will probably teach a mini lesson about IMovies and how to make your own using the basic features before beginning this lesson. This way, my students are coming in with the exposure needed to complete the activity. Depending on their prior experiences with the discussion of today's soldiers and the wars going on in our world I might have to extensively go into a lesson about today's life of a soldier before I have them talk about those from the civil war.
Planning Instruction:
The content of this lesson should be taught at this grade level because students are old enough to grasp tough topics with an understanding that may be unclear at an earlier age. I feel like at this age the students will have had enough experience through their life to have basic knowledge of the concepts that will be talked about. From an academic stand point, the standards for language arts fit with the historical concepts and themes behind this lesson.
This lesson will be taught in the second or third quarter of the school year depending on where the student's are at with their reading ability, and writing. The standards that I am using are geared to be taught towards the beginning of the school year. However, I believe that lessons should be aligned with the student's abilities regardless of when the standard is supposed to be taught. Which is why I thought that a majority if not all of my students will be prepared to complete this lesson's objectives and standards successfully by the second or third quarter. The objective is broad enough to include the standards that I have picked. Through the standards, the students are demonstrating their knowledge of the events that take place during the day to day life of a soldier from the civil war.
