Evaluating and Reflecting on a Lesson Plan
For this blog post, I will talk about a lesson plan that I evaluated for this blog post. The lesson is called 'Native American Regions Report', and the social studies standard that this lesson addressed standard 2, which is world history.
The lesson was a project-based lesson, where students were to work in groups and create an on their slide show on a specific Native American region given to them by their teacher.
The lesson format was a document handout with the directions for the presentation. It also had all of the resources that the students would have needed, and this would include a blank slide document with instructions on each slide and informational resources that would be used for the research part of the project.
This lesson was a combination lesson of direct, interactive, and independent. It is a direct lesson because of the structured overview, due to the slide templates having what the students need on each slide on them already. It was an interactive lesson because of the cooperative learning. The students had to work in groups to learn about one Native American region and then gather the information to create one shared presentation. Finally, it was also an independent lesson because it was a research project, and the students had to break up the work, and each makes their slide, so they most likely also had to do their own research.
I would use this lesson in my classroom, especially an older group of students, because it is an excellent way to introduce research projects. I also think that it is a good way for students to learn about group processing if they give feedback at the end and promote positive interdependence.
