Introducing 4th graders to Academic Language

Other

View the Teaching Channel video listed in this topic’s materials. While watching the video, think through the following questions in order to reflect:

  • How has this teacher accomplished the task of exposing students to academic language and critical thinking skills while addressing social studies standards and current events?
  • What supports were put in place to help students apply critical thinking skills to a real-world current event? What effect did this have on student learning?

Write a 250-500 word reflection, addressing the above questions.

Part 2: Writing Objectives

Review “Well-Written Learning Objectives in Social Studies” to inform this part of the assignment.

Consider the fourth grade social studies standards applicable to your state. Using those standards and the Teaching Channel video lesson, write four lesson objectives for the content covered in the video.

Utilizing the Depth of Knowledge chart, write one objective per DOK level, and show the standard(s) they are aligned to. Expand upon the lesson, if need be.

Well-Written Learning Objectives in Social Studies

Learning objectives are statements that clearly state what you expect students will be able to do as a result of the learning experience you designed for them. They are written as observable performances that reflect internal knowledge and understanding. They do not merely state what a student will know; rather, they describe what a student will be able to do as a result of having learned and practiced the application of that knowledge.

A poorly written learning objective:

“Students will be able to understand why explorers and settlers came to North America.”

A better learning objective:

“Students will be able to describe why explorers and settlers came to North America.”

Well-written learning objectives reflect worthwhile, life-long skills, rather than lesson activities.

A poorly written learning objective:

“Students will be able to draw a picture of three early American trade routes.”

A better learning objective:

“Students will be able to describe and locate trade routes used in North America in the 1600’s.”

Well-planned learning objectives reflect a variety of cognitive processes. Bloom’s Taxonomy and Webb’s Depth of Knowledge (DOK) Chart can assist with writing learning objectives that require different levels of thinking. For example, lesson objectives that only use verbs such as “list,” “state,” or “describe” are limiting. Such lesson objectives may be listed, but should then be followed by learning objectives that will require more in-depth thinking.

A simple learning objective:

“Students will be able to list the states that signed the U.S. Constitution.”

The above learning objective could be followed by a more in-depth learning objective:

“Students will be able to compare and contrast the motivation different states and their representatives had for signing the U.S. Constitution.”

Human Rights: Preventing the spread of infectious disease case

Humanities

Hello,

This is a Human Right paper which consist of 40% of the course grade.

My deadline is March 14th noon.

Last paper which you did I took 75% I hope this time would be better.

These is a feedback for first paper, Please read it carefully. READ and USE the ATTACHMENT.

” 1.Nice analysis of access issues, and need for research in urban and rural areas, public/private, human resources. You mention urban/rural, would have been helpful to focus specifically on need for disaggregated data. 2. Answer focuses on good aspects of the plan but a bit unclear on whether elements suffice – could have addressed absence of programs to address social determinants (water, literacy), access in rural areas, lack of firm commitments by NGOs. 3. Nice on how inexpensive means can be used to educate and how low income people will have access to private clinics. Otherwise answer unfortunately does not address human rights problems of resource investment, such as need for maximum resources and fair financing system; recall that human rights approach doesn’t assume just existing resources. 4. Good on monitoring but needed to address process obligations of participation and accountability”.

Week 3 Discussion: The Rise of Fascism, World War II and the Holocaust

Analyze Adolph Hitler’s rise to power and the policies he used to rule Germany. The following statement was taken from a contemporary account of Germany in 1939:

“Though the Fuhrer’s anti-Semitic program furnished the National Socialist party in the first instances with a nucleus and a rallying-cry, it was swept into office by two things with which the ‘Jewish Problem’ did not have the slightest connection. On the one side was economic distress and the revulsion against Versailles: on the other, chicanery and intrigue…Hitler and his party promised the unhappy Germans a new heaven and a new earth, coupled with the persecution of the Jews. Unfortunately, a new heaven and earth cannot be manufactured to order. But a persecution of the Jews can…”

How do you interpret this contemporary account of the persecution of people who are Jewish? Elaborate.
