Description

Early Childhood Education Learning Experience Plan Template * Note: Do not put explanations and rationale in your plans. Plans should not exceed 4 pages in length. Teacher Candidate Name: Rylee Polman, Tara Stanley, Sabrina Avery Age/Grade Level: 2 Grade nd

WI Model Early Learning Standards (WMELS) Or Grade Level State Adopted Standards for the learning segment

SS.Hist3: Wisconsin students will connect past events, people, and ideas, to the present; use different perspectives to draw conclusions, and suggest current implication.

Learning Experience: 2 Learning Objectives: Learning outcomes to be achieved by the end of the learning experience or learning segment

Given the lesson on history, and the MLK story, students will compare and contrast the MLK equality message to different colored eggs, students will then complete the equality workmat.

Academic Language Development Identify the language demands of the learning task. (Oral, visual, and written)

Prior Knowledge: Previously, the children have used terms such as predict/prediction and compare in the classroom, during activities, reading books and at home. Vocabulary/Concept(s): New vocabulary will be discussed and applied such as:  Equal/Equally: the same.  Equality: the same rights for every person.  Ethnic/Ethnicity: A group of people that share the same language, culture, or are from the same place.

Key vocabulary and definitions

Instructional and learning activities that support diverse student needs. (Include what you and the children will be doing.) Link to teaching and learning theories and context for learning.

Introduction: For the introduction, we will use a Martin Luther King Jr puppet; our puppet has a special message to share. To introduce MLKJ we will give hints as to what is in our bag. Our hints will be:  “I was born in the 1920’s”  “I believe everyone is created equal”  “My famous speech is ‘I have a dream’” Procedures:  First, we will read the book Martin Luther King Jr. by Marion Dean Bauer.  Second, after all, materials are handed out, have the students observe all four eggs and draw what they see. Then, ask the students what their predictions are when they break open all

four eggs.  Third, have the students break open all four into separate cups, and observe then draw what they see.  Forth, the students will then complete the equality workmat- this is the assessment piece.  Lastly, the students will complete the “I Have a Dream” workmat and share within their groups. Closure:  Recap MLKJ’s message - all people are equal, and repeat academic language.  Ask questions such as: “ If Martin Luther King Jr. didn’t fight for equality, what do you think our world would be like it is today?” and “Do you know of any other famous movements of equality people have fought for?”. Transition:  For a transition, the puppet will ask the students to walk ‘like brothers and sisters as Mark Luther King Jr explain in his message’ to the next activity.

Informal and/or formal assessments used to monitor children’ learning and feedback provided *Review examples shared in the edTPA handbook glossary

Informal: We will observe the children if they are correctly completing the equality workmat and drawing their observations. Formal: The children will complete the equality workmat by drawing their observations of the four eggs before and after cracking them which asses their understanding of MLKJ’s message of equality and the activity involving the different colored eggs.

Adaptations of Learning Tasks and Materials (Differentiated instruction) *Review “variety of learners” in the edTPA handbook glossary

Multimodal teaching approaches: Visual - ‘I Have a Dream’ workmat and equality workmat. Auditorial - Martin Luther King Jr. book, puppet, and directions to follow. Kinesthetic - Different colored eggs. Individualization: Remedial: As a remediation piece, we will have students draw and color a picture of their dream on the ‘I Have a Dream’ workmat Enrichment: As an enrichment piece, we will have students write a full

sentence(s) explaining what their dream is on their ‘I Have a Dream’ workmat Interdisciplinary: Language & Literacy - The short story will be read to the class along with introducing and applying new vocabulary such as: equality, equal/equally, and ethnic/ethnicity, through this lesson by listening to the Martin Luther King Jr. book and completing the equality workmat. Art - The students will be drawing and coloring their observations of the eggs before and after cracking them on the equality workmat. Math - The four eggs used for the activity will be numbered “1”, “2”, “3”, and “4” along with 4 cups which will require the students to use and apply number recognition and counting by matching the number on the egg with the number on the cup and again on the equality workmat. Central Focus

Subject specific content: (language, math, science, social studies) The central focus of this lesson is the content of social studies focusing on history with the MLK book and work mat. Specifically, the students will make predictions about the four different colored eggs before cracking them. Students will then draw what they observe. Students will then crack the eggs and draw what they observe. Multimodal learning will occur as the students physically crack and draw what the eggs look like before and after they are cracked, the children will be able to construct drawing models on their work mat. Language will be developed by learning new vocabularies such as equally which means the same, and ethnicity which is a group of people that share the same language, culture, or are from the same place. Interdisciplinary connections will be by drawing and coloring their observations of the eggs before and after cracking them....
