Due dates and ProcessUnit plans and lesson plans (with all supporting materials are to be handed in on the last class, electronically).
One group member will be responsible for e-mailing me (and all group members) one e-mail that contains all the pertinent documents.
Please include the section number or cohort name in the subject line.Slide5
The Flipped ClassroomShould we, as teachers, embrace the flipped classroom
? Why or why not?
Do you agree with BYOD?Slide6
A Few Tips on Lesson Planning
An objective is very different than a PLO – what is the difference?
Assessment – please use the language that you learned (AS/OF/FOR – and elaborate on how you will be using it).
Be sure to fill out all the components identified in the rubric before handing it in.
If you are using a video – provide a link or the title at the very least.Slide7
Forming ConceptsSocial Studies as a subject deals with hundreds of different concepts.
What are concepts? (in your own words…)
Take out a piece of paper and brainstorm some.
Examples: bias, change, co-operation, human rights, perspective, etc.Slide8
1- Concept recognition:
teacher identifies attributes and gives examples and non-examples of the concept.
2-
Concept attainment (Data Set):
teacher supplies items that are identified either as examples or non- examples and the students have to figure out what the attributes that distinguish the categories.
3-
Concept formation:
teacher supplies neither examples, nor attributes. Instead the students create their own conceptual categories by sorting the items and explaining the attributes that
distinguish their groupings.
Different Ways to Learn About ConceptsSlide9
“MUFFS” Data Set Example
What
Attributes do
MUFFS have?
-4 squares
Triangle
headSlide10
Data Set: Line
What is the definition of a line?
A path traced by a moving point or a mark, streak, scratch or stroke.
A line may be horizontal, vertical, diagonal, thick, thin, curved, fuzzy, clean or implied

Critical Attributes
What are the critical attributes of renewable resources?
Energy that is produced from naturally
replenishable
or infinite sources such as the sun, wind and water are considered renewable resources.
Renewable
electricity generation has a lower impact on the environment than fossil fuel and nuclear power facilities because they emit little or no emissions, they do not need to be mined or extracted, and do not produce harmful radioactive waste. Slide21
Sitting in a large group (of 8- 10) take off one of your shoes and place it on the table.
Try to come up with what the attributes of a shoe are AND try to come up with different conceptual categories (example: sandals, boots, etc.
Concept Formation Slide22
What is the Concept?
(
+) obeying the law
(-) free speech
(+) paying taxes
(-) remain silent
(+) military service
(-) obtain a driver's license
(+) serving on a
jury
What is the concept?
Civic ResponsibilitySlide23
Your Task
You are asked to get in to a group of 3-4.
With your partner, pick a grade and identify some important concepts within our Social Studies courses that students may have difficulty understanding. Have a look at the new curriculum which is based on concepts.
Then you are asked to develop a data set/concept attainment or formation for one of the concepts.
Come up with 3 to 4, positive and 3-4 negative examples
What are the critical attributes of your concept? (Don’t share these with the group until they have figured it out on their own)
You may create a version with visuals (electronically) or hard copy version. Slide24
Your Task (con’t)
Two groups should now join and ask each other to identify the concept and critical attributes.
Give each other feedback– does it work or not?
Class share.Slide25
Next classWe will be having a closing class ceremony and looking at how we can bring 21
st
Century learning in to our Social Studies classrooms.
Assignments are due next week – electronically only.
