Provide Multiple Means of

Representation
Provide options for perceptionmaking information perceptible
The students are required to have
journals, visuals, and presentation,
which are three ways to present
their information
Provide options for language,
mathematical expressions, and
symbols- clarify & connect
language

Provide Multiple Means of Action

and Expression
Provide options for physical actionincrease options for interaction
Students can draw, sing, act, etc.
They are free to have visuals and
presentation however they desire

Provide options for expression and

communication- increase medium
of expression

The hope is that students will

not all present in the same way
since the project is open-ended,
which will give many mediums
of expression

Provide Multiple Means of

Engagement
Provide options for recruiting
interest- choice, relevance, value,
authenticity, minimize threats
Students get to choose how they
want their project to go, so they can
give it relevance and value based on
what they pick
Provide options for sustaining effort
and persistence- optimize
challenge, collaboration, masteryoriented feedback

Working in groups helps with

collaboration, and they can peer
edit each others work within
their groups to give feedback

Provide options for comprehensionactivate, apply & highlight

Students can to apply their
knowledge from this unit through
any many different means,
especially ones that they think work
well and they enjoy

Materials-what materials
(books, handouts, etc) do
you need for this lesson
and are they ready to
use?

Provide options for executive

functions- coordinate short & long
term goals, monitor progress, and
modify strategies

Provide options for self-regulationexpectations, personal skills and

strategies, self-assessment &
reflection

Working in groups gives

students expectations from their
co-workers, as well as teaches
them how to work with others
I will need a projector and a way for students to connect their devices to the projector to present their
material.

Classroom will be set up in a U shape with a cluster in the middle

How will your classroom
be set up for this lesson?

having prior to presenting. Remind them to make
sure everything is organized and everyone knows
who is saying what while presenting.
I will have the rubric out and grade the presentation
as they go through, watching for organization,
depth of analysis of social change, and connections
between the visuals and journals.

Students will bring their rubric to me when their

group is up with their names on it.

At the end of each group, I will remind them to

submit their work onto Google Classroom so I can
go back and look at them to grade the rest of the
project. If any errors were made in the presentation
(i.e. misusing a term) I will help them clarify that
so I know their understanding is clear. I will then
tell them they did a good job, making sure I point
out areas that I really liked if they are present, and
have the class clap for them while they return to
their seats.

Students will go through their presentation, making

sure to summarize/read their journals, show the
connections from the visuals to each journal, and
most importantly, emphasize the way that their
persons life changed over these 10 years.
The remaining students will watch their
presentations attentively, with the threat of losing
points on their grade if they are disruptive.

The next group would come up and the same

process is repeated until all groups have gone.

I will again tell them how good their presentations

were, and how I was glad to see the different ways

Students will begin packing up their things, while

listening to what I have to say. They will hopefully

them what they think the next unit will be, and tell
them to be ready for it to start tomorrow, and that I
will try to have the projects graded in the next day
or maybe 2.

guess that the next unit will be the Great

Depression, and ideally they will be looking
forward to starting it tomorrow.

Your reflection about the lesson, including evidence(s) of student learning and engagement, as well as ideas for improvement
for next time. (Write this after teaching the lesson, if you had a chance to teach it. If you did not teach this lesson, focus on the
process of preparing the lesson.)
Pace was the biggest issue in this lesson. The presentations ended up spilling into the next day, which we then had to go over
election stuff for most of the class, so they even spilled onto a third day as well. Other than that, the projects were good
overall. The major thing I noticed was maybe my error in explaining the project, as peoples visuals seemed to not meet the
criteria I was looking for, which I will not hold against them as strictly as the rubric would suggest since it was my error.
