Signature Assignment: Integrated Global Awareness Lesson and Reflection [due Mon]
Assignment Content
- Designing an integrated lesson may feel overwhelming as it incorporates different subject areas that complement each other in one unit of study. For this reason, it is important to find the right connections between the subject areas so you can effectively address multiple standards in the lessons and incorporate related resources. To practice this important skill, you will complete this two-part assignment in which you create an integrated lesson that develops children’s awareness of a global community.
Part 1: Lesson Plan and Instruction
Research programs or other resources that promote global connections and awareness for children to incorporate into your lesson.Review the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Standards for Students and choose a technology standard you plan to address in your unit.
Use the Integrated Lesson Plan Template to create an early childhood lesson plan that develops children’s awareness of a global community and incorporates the following:
- Technology
- Another subject area (e.g., math, science, literacy, etc.)
- One of the programs and/or resources you researched
- Teach your Integrated Global Awareness Lesson in an early childhood setting (Pre-K to age 8).
Document your time spent teaching your lesson in My Time Log.
Part 2: Teaching Experience Reflection
Write a 525- to 700-word reflection of your experience in which you: - Explain the main points of your lesson and how it supports developing children’s awareness of a global community.
- Explain how you incorporated technology, another subject area, and one of the programs and/or resources you researched.
- Analyze the successes and challenges from your teaching experience, including the changes for future teaching of the lesson.
- Describe the assessment(s) for the lesson, including how they inform future teaching of the lesson.
- Explain how you modified the lesson for exceptional learners or how it could be modified for future teaching of the lesson.
