Ed Tech Lesson Plan

Standards:

A). CCSS- Social Studies 11.10a

Students will examine the roles and impact of individuals such as Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr., Stokely Carmichael, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Malcolm X on the
movement and their perspectives on change.

B). ISTE Empowered Learner 1C

Students use technology to seek feedback that informs and improves their
practice and to demonstrate their learning in a variety of ways.

Lesson Objectives:
A). Students will be able to analyze the role and impact of Rev. Martin Luther
King Jr. on the Civil Rights movement

B). Students will be able to practice their knowledge and receive feedback
through smartboard activities and Web 2.0 technology.

Introduce Learning Activity:

A & B). Students will go on a webquest to analyze two of Martin Luther King Jr’s
famous speeches. During this activity students are being introduced to Martin
Luther King Jr and are responsibly using the web. Instruct students to go to the
following website to begin the webquest
http://questgarden.com/199/15/3/180425130547/

During this activity students will view his “I have a dream” and “I’ve been to the
mountaintop” speeches and answer the provided questions. All of these
resources are available on the provided website.

The teacher will circulate and when it looks like all of the students are wrapping
up the teacher will ask at least three students per question to share their
responses.

Provide Information:
A).
Introduce New Material:
The teacher will introduce Martin Luther King Jr. and his philosophies of Civil
Disobedience and Non-Violence. The teacher will show historical pictures and
explain civil disobedience and non-violence by giving at least two historical and
contemporary examples so that the students can understand the difference
between the terms. (All of this information is on the presentation labeled Martin
Luther King Jr. It will state the facts about his life and provide the photos for this
lesson. There are examples of civil disobedience and non-violence in the notes
section of the presentation.)

During this time the students can take notes on their unit handout.

When you introduce civil disobedience and non-vilence will ask students to write
down examples of the terms in their own words that will help them remember
their meaning and to decipher between the two.
.
The teacher will handout blank concept maps and markers

Provide Practice:

A). Hand out blank concept maps and at least one marker to each student.

Concept Map:
The teacher will explain that this blank concept map will be added to throughout
the unit and that each day they will add new terms and events and that they are
expected to make links between concepts that they add each day. Without using
their notes, the students will add Martin Luther King to their concept map. The
students should also provide two examples of civil disobedience and non-
violence that Martin Luther King Jr. practiced. While giving directions the teacher
will model how this will look on the board. The teacher will ask two students to
repeat the directions.

The students will add the components to their concept map. The teacher will use
proximity and check in her roster that students have added the correct examples.

The teacher will tell students when they have 30 seconds left to finish their last
thought. The teacher will collect the concept maps so that she can review the
ones she was not able to check while circulating.

B). Students will practice their knowledge of civil rights by completing the Martin
Luther King Jr. smartboard activity. Once this review of today’s lesson is
complete have students complete the Kahoot and Jeopardy style game on the
smartboard. Combined, these activities should take approximately 15 minutes. If
one of the activities does not work or if there is more time left there is an
additional timeline activity available for students to complete.

Provide Knowledge of Results:

A). The teacher will provide positive and correct feedback while students are
working on the Smartboard activities. This feedback will be both group and
individual depending on which smartboard activity is being completed.

B). The students will receive verbal feedback during the MLK smartboard activity.
The Kahoot and Jeopardy activities will provide technological and verbal
feedback from the teacher on whether the answers are right or wrong.

Review the Activity:

A). As the teacher is circulating during the concept map activity she should take
note of common misconceptions about Martin Luther King Jr., and his
philosophies of civil disobedience and non- violence. The teacher will keep track
of the questions that students got wrong on Martin Luther King Jr., the Kahoot,
and Jeopardy. The teacher will review the correct answers of any common
mistakes to help clear up any misconceptions.

Methods of Assessment:

This is only one lesson in the civil rights unit. There will be a summative
assessment that will be two parts. The first part will be multiple choice and the
second part will be to create a presentation either using PowerPoint, Google
Slides, or a video of themselves speaking that asks students to analyze two
different groups or individuals’ goals during the movement and argue why or why
not these goals were accomplished.

For this specific lesson the types of assessment are as follows:

A.) Students will be assessed when they are filling in their concept map on Martin
Luther King Jr. The teacher will collect these concept maps and return them with
written positive and corrective feedback.

Their knowledge of Martin Luther King Jr. will also be assessed through
questions on the Kahoot. This Kahoot will give students instant feedback on
whether or not they correctly answered the question. The teacher will be able to
see the individual results.

B.) The students will write down answers to the questions from the webquest. If
students were able to answer all of the questions this shows that they were able
to navigate the quest and correctly use the technology.

Students will also be assessed by their use of the smartboard to receive

feedback from the activities which will help improve their knowledge and the use
of technologies to guide and improve their learning.
