Final Lesson Plan on The Roaring Twenties
Welcome back to our final lesson plan on the Roaring Twenties! Throughout this semester, Erin and I have focused on learning all about the Roaring Twenties and the ways in which we could teach this significant decade from American history to a fifth-grade class. While we initially looked into teaching “The Great Gatsby” by F. Scott Fitzgerald, it being one of the great classics from this time, we felt that it was too advanced of a reading for this age group. Therefore we decided to take another approach to the 1920s, using the literature “What Were the Roaring Twenties?” by … Continue reading Final Lesson Plan on The Roaring Twenties

Hi everyone and welcome to my final blog post! Throughout the entire process of this project I have learned a lot about what it takes to design a lesson plan as a teacher and the hard work that goes into doing so. I feel as if my partner and I have been very successful in creating a lesson around the Roaring Twenties that is going to be age appropriate for a fifth-grade class and will excite the students. At first it was quite challenging to take somewhat of advanced material and translate it into being taught to a younger audience, … Continue reading final blog post
Final Project!
Hi everyone! As we end this semester, my partner Kaitlynn Castro and I have finished our project on The Great Gatsby. Here, we are talking about how Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences connect with the story as well as the movie. We have provided some clip examples that can also be found in the book. The reason for this, is because we thought it would make a lot more sense to students if they had access to how the characters were feeling and what they were doing in the moment. It is true that books can express emotion more than movies can. … Continue reading Final Project!

Hi welcome to my fourth and final blog post! While doing my research for my final project, I thought it was so cool to see what America is like now, compared to what it was like one hundered years ago. We are entering the 20s of the 2000s which is so crazy seeing how much change one hundered years can bring. Throughout my research, however, I did come across some similarities between now and then too. For example, the idea of wealth in the world. It is not as simple as East egg and West egg, but there are very … Continue reading Final Blog Post

We will gear our teaching tool toward Gardner’s visual-spatial intelligence. This intelligence is great for learners that like to look at the pictures and watch … Continue reading Final Blog Post.
