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

Hello, and welcome back to my blog post! In my last blog post I talked about the teaching fifth and sixth graders about the Roaring 20s using the book, What Were the Roaring Twenties? by Michele Mortlock. The lesson plan my partner and I came up with was a powerpoint presentation to introduce what the Roaring 20s were, the assigned book, and finally to wrap this lesson together, a poster project included with a timeline. 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.

Hi everyone and welcome back to my final blog post! As discussed in my prior post, my partner Erin and I will be gearing our lesson plan towards a 5thgrade class and the topic that we will be focusing on is the Roaring 20’s. 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!

For my final project, my partner and I have chosen to use the book, The Dot by Peter H. Reynolds. This book is about a young girl, Vashti, who is discouraged in her art class because she thinks that she cannot draw as well as everyone else in her class. With the help from her teacher who helps her grow her confidence, she is able to create something truly exciting for Vashti. She begins to create many art pieces that is recognized by so many for its uniqueness. By the end of the story, Vashti inspires someone else by the … Continue reading Blog post #3

Hi and welcome back to my third blog post! In my last blog posts I have talked about teaching the Roaring 20s to fifth and sixth graders. The book that my partner and I will be assigning for students to be introduced to the Roaring 20s will be What Were the Roaring Twenties? by Michele Mortlock. This book is great because it has everything that went on during that decade along with real life photos so the students can get a full understanding of life during this time. The way my partner and I will be introducing the whole topic … Continue reading 3rd Blog Post.

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

2nd Blog Post; The Roaring 20’s.

After talking about The Great Gatsby in my last blog post and researching about The Roaring 20’s, I will be using the book “What Were The Roaring Twenties? (What Was) by Michele Mortlock. Even though I have not read this book yet, it looks like a great book for 5th and 6th graders because it has many pictures of what the 1920s had in that lifestyle but also is a chapter book. A chapter book is a great way for 5th and 6th graders to work on their reading skills. The grades I will be focusing on while teaching the … Continue reading 2nd Blog Post; The Roaring 20’s.

Hi, I’m Gabby Barbera and welcome to my second blog post! It has come to the point in our Research Project where we must finalize our desired topic for the project. I tossed around many ideas but then came to a conclusion about young children. One thing they love to do is draw. Not only does it keep them occupied, but it gives them an outlet to be creative and explore their own imagination. I’ve found that Dr Seuss has particularly creative artwork in his children’s story books. My entire childhood I read Dr Seuss and have always loved his … Continue reading Blog post #2

Civil Rights Movement

mauluccia

After conducting my research and looking over my last blog post, the text I will continue to focus on is The Bus Ride That Changed History. This text was written by Pamela Duncan and she focuses on Rosa Parks’ story. From this text I am aiming to focus my lesson around 3rd and 4th graders. Personally, I have not read this book yet; however, through research it is stated that each page builds off the other which will leave young leaders interested. I plan on using visual-spatial and interpersonal intelligences throughout my lessons. A visual-spatial learner is a student who learns … Continue reading Civil Rights Movement
