UBD Lesson Plan Template – Stage 2 - Evidence of Learning
• Estimated time for this lesson: 4 days
• Introduction: Students will be distributed into equal groups for the following investigative learning experience. The following performance task will be performed:
UBD Lesson Plan Template – Stage 2 - Evidence of Learning
Performance Task: Day OneAssign each student in a group a role from the
TeacherWeb format to search and give information on the character they have assumed. Once each student finds the information they are to synthesis the information with the other students in the group. In other words, if a student is James Oglethorpe, they are to compare their viewpoints with Tomochichi and Mary Musgrove. Students will incorporate how each one helped the other in the development of a new colony. Groupings will be at least three students so that each can assume one of the three roles. Students will go to the computer lab to do their research and may use a word format to record information. Once at the lab the students will then:
Go to the following TeacherWeb Site
• http://teacherweb.com/WQ/HighSchool/ColonialGeorgia1/
• Once you open the web site follow the directions
Group Work
Day 2: • 1. Instruct the students to sit with their groups
and distribute information they each have gathered.
• 2. Conduct a mini-lesson on formulating a thesis/position statement and having at least five supporting facts.
• 3. Distribute copies of the “TeacherWeb Outline” and instruct students to fill in the outline with their group using their notes from yesterday’s work. Students may revisit the sites if necessary.
Group Work • Day 3: • 1. Direct the students to the process section of the
TeacherWeb.• 2. Instruct the students to decide as a group which
presentation mode they will se to present their position to the class. Remind them to use the outline they created yesterday to guide their presentation.
• 3. Direct the students to the rubric in the evaluation section and read through together. Answer any questions that the students may have.
• 4. Allow time for the groups to work on their presentations.
Group Work
Day 4: • 1. Each group will make their presentation to the class.• 2. After the presentations allow time for the groups to
have a friendly debate based on their findings. Set guidelines to proper debate etiquette before beginning.
• 3. After a set time, debrief with the class as a whole. Read the conclusion together and lead the class in a brief discussion. Ask anyone if they were persuaded to the difficulty of organizing a new colony. Did their viewpoint of cooperation change and did they anticipate the difficulty of establishing a new colony? Also, were any of them surprised at how each role came together for a common good? How was Oglethorpe’s original idea of establishing a new colony compromised?
(Rubric & GPS Included in Teacher’s Edition)
Learning Plan (UBD Stage 3): Compare/Contrast & Analyze/SynthesisIntroduction: Students will analyze the following Mind Maps: 3 daysGo to SmartBoard Presentation and do the
exercises.
Lesson Plan Colonial Georgia MindMap UBD Stage Three
Introduction: • Phase One: During this stage of the lesson plan the students
will be able to identify the important people that initiated and implemented the start of the Georgia colony. They will also look at the first stage of development that started in England and then progressed to the establishment of the new colonial site including the three motivating factors for its start.
• Phase Two: In addition the students will be contrasting and
comparing the first year of development of the colony and synthesizing the information into logical sequence of events. They will analyze the initial problems and then progress to initial successes and incorporate this information with thoughts of “What they would do and think about being a part of a new colony”.
Lesson Plan: UBD Stage Three-MindMap
Georgia Performance Standards: The following GPS will be followed in this lesson.
Historical Understandings:• SS8H2: The student will analyze the colonial period of Georgia’s
historya) Explain the importance of James Oglethorpe, the Charter of 1732, reasons for settlement (charity, economics, and defense), Tomochichi, Mary Musgrove, and the city of Savannah.
• Geographical Understandings:
SS8G1(d): The student will describe Georgia with regard to physical features and location. d) Evaluate the impact of climate on Georgia’s development.
Lesson Plan: Tools UBD Stage Three
Tools: Two MindMaps will initiate and conclude the students experience in the research of the Georgia colony. The first MindMap will help the students find the important people and the reasons for the establishment of a new colony. The second MindMap will guide the students through critical thinking skills of a higher order to engage them in analysis of the information and compare/contrast as well as synthesizing the information to apply the knowledge that was gained with their own thoughts of how they would achieve success in establishing a new colony.
Lesson Plan: UBD Three Introduction
Introduction of the material:
Students will read together in equal groups pages of their textbook.
They will take notes as necessary and
report to the other groups the information they have gathered.
Lesson Plan: MindMap #1
• #1: Students will receive the MindMap in their groups.
• Each group will fill in the bubbles with the correct information from the selections below.
• They then will compare their reasons and choices
with the other groups and by consensus vote choose the most logical answer for each bubble.
• The teacher will then show the students the correct answers and inform them of logical connections of the MindMap and how they overlap.
Lesson Plan: MindMap UBD #3
Alternative Teaching Strategy for MindMap #1:
MindMap #1 will be used via a SmartBoard. Students will be able to move their choices by dragging them to the bubble of their choice. Feedback from the audience will be allowed as well as their books. Students will then discuss how each event is interrelated and how none of them could have occurred without the other factors involved.
Lesson Plan: MindMap UBD #3
Alternative Teaching Strategy for MindMap #1:
For Inclusion Students: Low achieving students may be assisted in this process of SmartBoard Technology or if a SmartBoard is not available they will be assisted by higher achieving students or by the teacher.
Lesson Plan: MindMap UBD #3
MindMap #2: After reviewing the information from MindMap #1 and their textbook they will then be initiated with MindMap #2. Again each group will choose the most logical answer for each numbered diagram and discuss in their group why each event had either positive or negative effects on the establishment of Georgia’s first settlement. They will also discuss the advantages and disadvantages of the interconnecting mapping strategies and investigate the circumstances of hardships that were eventually overcome. Groups will also look at the factors and people that influenced the various stages of the Savannah settlement. The end of the lesson will be peer review by the other groups as to the answers each group agreed upon.
Lesson Plan: MindMap UBD #3
• Alternative Teaching Strategy for MindMap #2:
• MindMap #2 will be used via a SmartBoard. Students will be able to move their choices by dragging them to the appropriate bubble of their choice. Feedback from the audience will be allowed as well as their books. Students will then discuss how each event is interrelated and how none of them could have occurred without the other factors involved.
• High Achieving Students: MindMap #2 will benefit these students by allowing them to critically think about the topics and issues.
