Final Lesson Plan on The Roaring Twenties

walkerg40

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

We are still planning on using the text, What Were the Roaring Twenties? by Michele Mortlock as our literature component within the lesson plan, feeling that it thoroughly sums up all the information we hope our students to learn throughout this unit. Since this lesson will be taught to an upper elementary level grade, we feel that it … Continue reading My 3rd blog post!

The Road From the Roaring 20’s to the Great Depression: Through the Eyes of Elementary Students

walkerg40

Hi everyone and welcome back to my teaching blog! As discussed in my last post, I am going to be gearing my lesson towards teaching students about the road from the Roaring 20’s all the way to the Great Depression. While in my last post I heavily discussed the lessons and background that I have on this time era, that being my experience with the classic piece of literature, The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald, I now want to transition into solely focusing on how I will communicate my knowledge on this subject to elementary level students. With that being … Continue reading The Road From the Roaring 20’s to the Great Depression: Through the Eyes of Elementary Students
