MULTICULTURAL LESSON PLAN

Student
Subject/Concepts: Social Studies Grade Level: Kindergarten

1. Standards:
CCSD Standard: 11.0 Students formulate research questions use variety of sources to
obtain information, weigh the evidence, draw valid conclusions, and present findings.
-Bloom’s verbs/level Knowledge: Student recalls or recognizes information, ideas, and
principles in the approximate form I which they were learned.
The student will define the 6 levels of Bloom’s taxonomy of the cognitive domain.
This will include to memorize (through song), name (through repeating), identify
(through visual map & passport template), list (through repeating & passport template),
label (through passport template) and repeat (through song).

Multicultural goal: Develop an educational environment that promotes respect for

differences.
-Bloom’s verbs/level Analysis: Student distinguishes, classifies, and relates the
assumptions, hypotheses, evidence, or structure of a statement or question.
The student will compare and contrast the cognitive and affective domains.
This will include to the students learning through applied behavior demonstrated by the
educator to show and demonstrate respect to every individual. Also by discovering and
learning to relate to other students of different cultures.

List Auditory-Visual-Kinesthetic learning skills: The ways that this will be implemented
in the lesson is by using auditory with reading of a book and singing a song in relation
with the continents. Visuals will be implemented by using map, books, images, and
video. Kinesthetic will be implemented by writing the name of the continents to help
impress the information learned.

 Students will discover the names of the continents.
 Students will be able to identify and locate the 7 continents.
 Students will discover that a continent has many countries.
2. The specific multicultural knowledge and skills achieved:
 Help the students discover how big our world is beyond the country and
continent we live in.
 Discover diversity of our countries.
 Inspire travel to different parts of the world.
3. Level of student engagement and active learning for the lesson:
 Book read a loud
 Video sing a long
 Participation in passing around the inflatable globe
 Sharing favorite continent on their passport booklet
4. Strengths and weaknesses of the lesson:
I feel that some of the strengths of my lesson is engaging the students with the book
which explores different countries. Learning through songs and rhymes is also a
strength in my lesson. This helps the students memorize the names of the continents.
Another strength in my lesson is the participation and engagement with the inflatable
globe, this makes the lesson fun and interactive.
Weaknesses that may present in my lesson could be in the independent part when
they have to write on their own and color because the age group that I chose to target
in my lesson plan in Kindergarten and this age group tends to need a lot more one on
one that an older grade would need.
