1.

Information

, Media, and Technology skills-Information Literacy:

Students will access videos from my classroom website to write a short paragraph describing the information in the video and any questions they might have regarding the video.

2. Communication and Collaboration Skills: Students will

be put into pairs to explore videos related to

The

Battle of Antietam. This will require the

students

to communicate with one another about

the

content of the videos they watch.Slide9

plan Lesson day 2:

Initiative

and Self-Direction:

Students will be taking the new information about “key” people during The Battle of Antietam and creating a journal entry combining critical thinking skills and creativity with the new information. Along with using the new information to complete an assignment, students must take the individual initiative to complete the assignment independently.

2. Communication and Collaboration Skills: The students will be put into groups and review the information from the past two days. This will require each student to collaborate with one another and answer any questions their classmates may have. Slide10

Critical Thinking and Problem Solving Skills:

Students will be converting data from a chart to complete a bar graph. This will require the students to recall information about how to read a chart and how to design a bar graph from given data. Slide11

Assessment for lesson days 1, 2, and 3:

Formative

Assessment Lesson Days 1, 2, and 3:

Each student will be graded on completion of their social studies notebooks each day. Students will be graded on participation and completion of their social studies notebooks. Students will receive a check for a great job, student will receive a plus ( + ) for a satisfactory job, and students will receive a dash ( - ) for an unacceptable

job.

Overall, this notebook will be counted as a participation grade.
