Technology Connection

            Vocabulary words will be defined to ensure that the students understand the underlying concepts used in the unit. The type of words used during presentation ought to be appropriate for the student and easy to understand. The students will be required to note down every vocabulary and define them at the end of the lesson as directed by the teacher. The students will be provided with a dictionary website link at the end of the lesson for them to find the meanings on their own.

            The vocabulary likely to be encountered by the students includes; mountains, topography, water bodies, environment, map, contours, and landforms among others. 

Instructional Procedures

Introduction

            The students will be introduced to the lesson by familiarizing them with the objectives and the primary source. The introductory section will involve an evaluation of student’s understanding of the environment as well as its physical landforms.

Body

            The students will be required to watch and listen from the audio-visual presentation having the world landforms comprising of rivers, mountains, lakes, seas, and oceans. The documentary will be cast using a class projector and will be paused to allow for description and student observations.

            The students will also be presented with power point presentation having some of the physical landforms and topographical maps to enhance their understanding of the topic.

            After watching and going through the powerpoint presentations, it will be necessary to have extension services to accommodate the children with disabilities, English language learners, and slow learners. The students with disabilities and slow learners will be assisted by grouping them for additional instruction as the others take notes of their observations. It will also be necessary to provide them with recorded copies of the presentations in the form of compact disks for further study at home. The English language learners will be provided with detailed notes of the presentation using a simple language. A copy of the presentation will be given to the English language learner for them to use a translator if need be to enhance their level of mastery. 

Closure

            The students will be given links to the primary resource and other websites to search for the physical landforms within South Carolina. 

            I will give an overview of the primary resources and help the students make notes from them. I will also ask them to name all the natural features identified that are found in South Carolina and submit the following day.

 Assessment of Objectives

            Student evaluation will involve the ability to identify landforms observed on the topographical maps, the audio-visual presentations, and the power point presentations. The mastery level set at 80% will not be applicable in the lesson since the assignment given will be a take-home. However, my assessment of the responses given will help to evaluate the students’ varying abilities for a more inclusive instruction in the next lesson.
