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.
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.
