OK so here is the wiki for our Roaring 20s Unit Plan,

I guess our first few goals are to determine a "Big Idea," and to come up with a few essential questions for the next time that we decide to meet.

Some possible EQ's:

Why did the 1920's experience so much change in society and politics? How did the 1920's spearhead into the Great Depression?

Just thought we should get some ideas to start building our unit plan since the due date is coming up fast.

Justin - I like this idea of the coin - I think this is def. off to a good start! I am willing to do any of these lesson plans. I'll just add my name to one of them for now. Kelsey

Hey I was thinking - for the silent alive movie performance task - I think as part of the directions some student should have to be the narrator as if they are reading the subtitles on the bottom of the screen. I think this is a good idea because it will allow for the project to be longer - if the whole thing is silent I am afraid the movie/show would not be very long. Any thoughts?? Kelsey

Hey everyone. I have completed the first lesson with the template that Dr. Scott gave us for lesson plans. I uploaded it as a file. Let me know what you think, if I should revise anything, or whatever. I feel like it's kind of rough... because there is a lot to the project I'm proposing, but he did say to keep the lesson plans very brief. So, let me know what you guys think! I have to have mine completed by the end of the weekend because I won't be here next week, so I want to get it all ready for the group before I go. Thanks!! Shea

Hey Shea! I read your lesson plan. I really like it! :) I think you should put how long it take to do each activity though because Dr. Scott said he wanted us to include that in our lesson plans. Enjoy your trip! Kim ||

Thank you to Justin for putting so much of this together. I signed up for the Lesson Plan #1 and I will have that to you, Justin, by the end of this weekend. I can post it here on the wiki. Shea ||

Hi everyone, As we continue to work and think about the unit plan, please consult the syllabus regarding what Dr. Scott is looking for in the unit plan and within each lesson plan from the unit (specifically assessment, standards, a webquest and a performance task). Also consult the understanding by design unit plan template that he provided us. We should plan to meet to discuss this stuff after class next Tuesday (10/18). I am willing to assemble all the lesson plans and fill out the unit plan template after all 5 lesson plans are completed. Since the unit plan is due on 10/25, if everyone could have their lesson plans to me by __Friday 10/21__ that should give me enough time to put the whole unit plan together. Justin ||

Hi everyone, Below I have posted a unit plan outline that I created for our unit plan topic. It has 5 lessons that I organized after doing some research on the 1920s. For each lesson, I provided a connection to the big idea and a sample essential question. If each of you picks a lesson topic then we should be in good shape to make the lesson plans that fit into this overarching unit plan. The 4th lesson on culture had a lot of content in it so I made room for 2 people to work together on that lesson plan. I am willing to serve as the project's coordinator / editor and can set up dates & deadlines and will compile and edit everyone's finished lesson plans into the entire unit plan finished product. Please let me know your thoughts/suggestions/comments as we are really running out of time and have a bunch of other projects to get done at the same time. If you like the unit plan outline I have provided, just add your name to the lesson plan and start working on it. We can talk more about this after class next Tuesday (10/18). Thanks. -Justin
