Stage 3 Learning PlanLearning ActivitiesInstructional Strategies/Learning Activities:e.g., demonstration, discussion, small groups, role play, etc.

The students will be reminded of a webquest to alleviate any questions regarding what one is (theyhave all had previous experience using a webquest).Students will be teamed up, per the teacherStudents will use the technology to create a classroom discussion

Introducing the lesson:

(capturing students attention, activating students prior knowledge).The students will be shown a clip of Pearl Harbor and asked if they know what that wasand what it was about.

Instructional Sequence:

(representing the content: teaching/learning activities, connecting to students prior knowledge, etc.)

Adaptations to the Instructional Sequence to Differentiate:

Students will be in teams to assist the struggling learner.Using technology the students can address this information in any one of the multipleintelligences that they choose.Discussion and Assessment of Learning:

(Pointing out to students how what they are learning is related to the driving question; assessing studentslearning as a result of the lesson)

During the next class, ask if there were any teams that found out if their country had been involvedin WWII and ask what side it was on. If the students had left that material out of their wikidiscussion, ask them to then repost and if possible create a subheading with WWII information.

Closure:Extensions for early finishers:

These students will be able to start adding their material to the wiki or assisting their teammates

finish their research.

Alternate strategies for struggling students or those who learn differently:

Students will be in teams so that they have a support system built in. The teacher will be moving

throughout the class to all the different teams. Consultant Teacher services will be sought only if

deemed necessary, so as not to estrange one partner from the team.

Procedures:

(already established procedures to be used and procedures to be taught for this lesson)Students know what a wiki is and who to add information to it.Students know how to add information to the writeboard so that they may hold discussionson line without being there at the same time.
