<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world.


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">It is important to learn this in order to understand the kinds of conditions suffered by Confederate civilians during the war.


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Assessments __**


 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Pre-Assessment: __**<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">At the beginning of the lesson, I will give the students a pre-test to get an understanding of what they know and don’t know about the Civil War. This will aid me in knowing which students seem to have a good understanding of the topic and which students may need additional help with the content. At the end of the section, I will give them the exact same test. If they all show significant improvement, that means I succeeded in my teaching of the subject.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Free write: Students will write about what they have learned so far in the lesson, how comfortable they are with the content, and whether or not they need help understanding anything.
 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Formative (Assessment for Learning) __**
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Section I – checking for understanding during instruction **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Self-assessment: Students will receive a rubric for their product and assess themselves on how they think they are progressing with the assignment.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher) **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Peer assessment: Students will receive a checklist to use when they assess a product from one of their peers to assess their work based on what it does and doesn’t have in terms of requirements.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Teacher feedback: Students will be assessed on their final product using the same rubric that they assessed themselves with.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will create a Venn diagram or similar graphic organizer using Inspiration. They will use this to organize what they have learned from the lesson and compare them to their classmates’ organizers. Using their combined information, the students will use what they’ve learned at the end of the lesson to create one complete, concise graphic organizer. This will aid them when completing work for other assignments.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">English:Graphic organizers such as Venn diagrams and flow charts are often used to map out plots for stories and ideas for papers. Students can use Inspiration in the exact same way when organizing their information from the lesson. They can also respond to this in their free write.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Areas: **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be given blank Venn diagrams to fill out using the information they learned in class. They will then compare these with their classmates before they create more comprehensive flow charts using Inspiration.
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;"> __Groupings__ **
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction **

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">The classroom will be split down the middle of the room. One half of the class will focus on filling in one half of the Venn diagram while the other half of the class will focus on the other half of the diagram. Once the two halves of the diagram are complete, the two halves of the room will collaborate to complete the Venn diagrams and then compile the information onto Inspiration.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Day 1(80 min.): <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Introduce myself to the class and introduce the unit(10 min.). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Show clips from the 1939 film “Gone with the Wind” to demonstrate to the students how the Confederate States, though they started out prosperous, were quickly reduced to financial and structural ruin due to the war(5 min.). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Give students a pre-test to determine their current knowledge of the Civil War.(10 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Collect the completed pre-tests and give students an overview of the Civil War, including some information that was on the pre-test(10 min.). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Hand out the blank Venn diagrams and instruct students to begin categorizing information that they find relevant in the diagram. One half of the room will focus on one half of the diagram and the other half of the room will focus on the other half(2 min.). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Continue lecturing students on the effects that the Civil War had on the Southern states, the Northern states, and the nation as a whole. These will be the categories on the Venn diagrams(18 min.) <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Instruct the student to collaborate on their Venn diagrams and exchange information to people on opposite sides of the room. They will then take this completed diagram and use it to create a more comprehensive flow chart or Venn diagram on Inspiration(20 min.). <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">- Allow students to respond to the lesson and the content in their free writes(5 min.).


 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Classroom Arrangement: **<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will be seated at their desks, facing the front of the classroom. There will be a separation between the desks down the middle of the classroom. This will make it easier for students to know which side of the room is supposed to be working on a certain part of the assignment and to collaborate accordingly.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will understand that the Civil War had a devastating impact on the Southern states. Students will understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world. It is important for students to learn this so they know the kind of damage caused to the Southern states during the war. This will also help explain some of the cultural differences that still remain between the Northern and Southern United States. Students will watch scenes from the 1939 film “Gone with the Wind” to give them a better idea of what happened to the homes of people living in the South when the North invaded.

 * __<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Content Notes __**

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Students will know…..

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">William T. Sherman: Renowned for his supremacy as a field commander, General William Tecumseh Sherman devastated the South in late 1864 and early 1865. It was arguably his employment of “total war” that caused the Confederacy to eventually surrender. Total war means not only destroying your opponent, but destroying your opponent’s ability to wage war. In this case, it was General Sherman’s destruction of farms, railroads, bridges, and any sort of factory that could have been used to further the Confederate war effort. Most of this was done during Sherman’s invasion of Atlanta, Georgia. After ruthlessly clearing a path of destruction through Georgia to Savannah, Sherman turned north towards the Carolinas, aiding General Ulysses S. Grant’s advance towards the South. After the war, he assumed General Grant’s position as General-in-Chief of the U.S. Army.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Appomattox: On April 9, 1865, Confederate General Robert E. Lee officially surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at Appomattox Courthouse, near Appomattox, Virginia. This marked the official end of the Civil War, though many skirmishes would still remain between the remaining Union and Confederate troops who did not receive word of the surrender.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Atlanta, Georgia: General William T. Sherman’s name will forever be a thorn in the side of the residents of Atlanta, Georgia after he ruthlessly destroyed all of the city’s manufacturing capabilities in his (in)famous “march to the sea.”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Savannah, Georgia: This was the final stop for General William T. Sherman as he tore a path of destruction through Georgia starting in Atlanta and eventually working his way to Savannah. The idea was to force the Confederate troops to retreat to Savannah so that they would have nowhere to go, except the Atlantic Ocean. Thus, Sherman’s March would often be known as the “March to the Sea.”

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">“Scorched Earth”: A tactic used by desperate soldiers, this was employed, both by General Sherman and the Confederate soldiers he was pursuing across Georgia, in order to make sure that neither side would have any resources to go back to. The Confederates tried burning down farms and bridges to try and prevent Sherman from advancing, whereas Sherman’s well-equipped forces looted farms, stores and other businesses, carrying with them as much as they could take and burning the rest.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">“March to the Sea”: Often cited as one of the most brutal examples of Southern destruction in the Civil War, General William T. Sherman took 60,000 Union troops from Atlanta to Savannah, carving a path of destruction 285 miles long and 30 miles wide through the state of Georgia. Taking whatever they could carry and burning the rest, the Union troops devastated troops and civilians alike. Using this brutal tactic, Sherman was waging “total war” against the South, meaning he was not only destroying his enemies, but the ability of his enemies to make war.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">d. Model collaborative knowledge construction by engaging in learning with students, colleagues, and others in face-to-face and virtual environments

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: Students will be confronting real problems faced by people living during the Civil War when they’re filling out their Venn diagrams. They will then compile this information on Inspiration to give them an idea of the gravity of the issues faced during that time. Once they have completed their graphic organizers on Inspiration, they’ll be able to reflect on both what they’ve learned and their collaboration with their peers to obtain that information.

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">2. Design and Develop Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessments. Teachers design, develop, and evaluate authentic learning experiences and assessment incorporating contemporary tools and resources to maximize content learning in context and to develop knowledge, skills, and attitudes identified in the NETS-S. <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">a. Design or adapt relevant learning experiences that incorporate digital tools and resources to promote student learning and creativity

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">b. Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">c. Customize and personalize learning activities to address students’ diverse learning styles, working strategies, and abilities using digital tools and resources

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">d. Provide students with multiple and varied formative and summative assessments aligned with content and technology standards and use resulting data to inform learning and teaching

<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman',serif; font-size: 12pt;">Rationale: Students will have access to all of the necessary technology that they need to complete their projects. I will be able to respond to the needs of students through the reflections in their free writes. By using Inspiration, students will be able to show what they’ve learned in a way that appeals to multiple intelligences. ||  ||   || About · Blog · [|Pricing] · Privacy · Terms · [|**Support**] · [|**Upgrade**] Contributions to http://edu221spring11class.wikispaces.com are licensed under a [|Creative Commons Attribution Share-Alike 3.0 License].
