I will be teaching 6th grade U.S. History 1 in the Spring. Here are five possible SOLS that would fit nicely with a technology enhanced lesson plan!
1) Manifest Destiny (US1.8.a - Describe territorial expansion and how it affected the political map of the United States, with emphasis on the Louisiana Purchase, the Lewis and Clark expedition, and the acquisitions of Florida, Texas, Oregon, and California)
2)Industrial Revolution (US1.8.c - Describe the impact of inventions, including the cotton gin, the reaper, the steamboat, and the steam locomotive, on life in America)
3) Abolitionist Movement (US1.8.d - Identifying the main ideas of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements)
4) Women's Suffrage Movement (US1.8.d - Identifying the main ideas of the abolitionist and women's suffrage movements)
5) Causes of the Civil War (US1.9.a - Describe the cultural, economic, and constitutional issues that divided the nation)
I would ideally like to use either iMovie or Windows Photostory to create a video. I would also like to use clips from UnitedStreaming to really "bring the history to life"!
I will be teaching 10th grade biology in the spring. By the time I take over, the class should be working on ecology and classification systems within biology. Some possible topics are as follows:
BIO.8c-d. Students will understand how natural selection leads to adaptations and the emergence of new species.
BIO.9a. Students will understand interactions within and among populations, including carrying capacities, limiting factors, and growth curves.
BIO.9b. Students will understand nutrient cycling with energy flow through ecosystems.
All of these lend themselves towards computer modeling and simulation activities so students can more easily track the long-term changes or quick-but-unseen cycles these phenomena entail.
Later this semester I expect to be preparing a lesson on the structure and function of the cell. Two possible topics along this line are as follows:
BIO.4b. Students will explore the diversity and variation of eukaryotes.
BIO.4a. Students will understand characteristics of prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
Both of these topics lend themselves well to a multimodal approach of instruction due to lots of new vocabulary and nonintuative concepts. Images, videos, and interactive models should all enhance the learning of these topics.
For 9th grade- make a movie of scenes from Romeo and Juliet, analyze scenes from movie versions of R&J, use a blog to post journal responses --SOL 9.1 The student will plan, present, and critique dramatic readings of literary selections. --SOL 9.3 The student will read and analyze a variety of literature. --SOL 9.6 The student will develop narrative, expository, and informational writings to inform, explain, analyze, or entertain.
For 12th grade- make audio recordings of poems, use student-generated photography as part of a book of poems, --SOL 12.5 The student will read and critique a variety of poetry.
I will be teaching Earth Science in the spring. After reviewing the SOL's, there were some foci that I intend to stress during the upcoming semester. Following are the lessons in which I plan to use technology enhancements:
ES.3 The student will investigate and understand how to read and interpret maps, globes, models, charts, and imagery.
ES.7 The student will investigate and understand the differences between renewable and nonrenewable resources.
ES.9 The student will investigate and understand how freshwater resources are influenced by geologic processes and the activities of humans.
ES.11 The student will investigate and understand that oceans are complex, interactive physical, chemical, and biological systems and are subject to long- and short-term variations.
ES.13 The student will investigate and understand that energy transfer between the sun, Earth, and the Earth's atmosphere drives weather and climate on Earth.
The technologies I am expecting to use are Google Earth, Podcast, PhotoStory, Starry Night Pro, NOAA Buoy Database, and data provided by the Virgina State Climatology Office.
