My expectations is that the weaker student will learn from the stronger student progress. How will I vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept? I will vary objectives with students who mastered the concept by providing them with more civil rights events. My expectation is that they will take the extra time read through the events and develop their own perception of the event. How will I vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English? Why is it important for the students to learn this content? It is important that students know this content because it is a standard that needs to be covered according to South Carolina 5th grade Social Studies Standards.

Statement of Purpose
Anticipatory Set
that will serve as a focus for the lessons activities? The hook of the lesson is to begin with a story, the story which is told to me often by my grandmother who has lived through the civil rights movement. My hope is that the story engages and starts to get students to imagine living during this time period. This story and personal connection for students should get them ready for the lesson ahead
Pre-assessment
What can students do at home or in the classroom to apply the knowledge or skills? How could you use your colleagues or community agencies to improve student performance? Students will be assigned a reading assignment on further civil rights events.
Technology
How will you use technology to assist students with learning the concepts? What technology will you use to enhance the delivery and comprehension of your content? I will use StudyIsland.com as my main source of Technology with assistance in student learning. Using Studyisland.com I am able to present the information, generate questions, and assess student learning. How will you connect this lesson with other content areas across the curriculum? The Arts: Teacher plans as a guided practice activity where students are to create an illustration for the civil rights movement event of their choosing.
Health: Students can read about some of the different injuries protesters had to endure during various events during the civil rights movements.
Physical Education: Teacher plans as a guided practice activity where students will participate in a walk around campus in order to build the connection between the freedom walks that occurred during the civil rights movements. .

students. Through this strategy I am able to build relevance of the content to students lives. Students felt they were thrown into the content because I involved questions about them personally. Describe the weaknesses of your instructional techniques, strategies and classroom management. Describe the weaknesses of student engagement. My weakness of the lesson consisted of spending too much time on any one event, time management was key in this lesson and I feel that could have been improved on. I noticed that some students work faster than others so I should of worked on monitoring the time of the lesson. What would you change when teaching this lesson again? I would change the amount of time I spent on one certain components of the lesson.
