Remembering Understanding Applying Analyzing ✘ Evaluating Creating

How do you plan to implement this lesson and integrate the technology? Check all that apply:

☐ Teacher-led: There is no student voice and choice in the activities. Students are guided by the
teacher's direction and expectations. Learning activities are assigned to the
student and mostly practice based.

X Student-Led: Students are given voice and choice in the activities. They may select the topic
of learning and/or determine the tool they will use to meet the learning goal. The
teacher facilitates the learning as the students direct their own learning processes.

☐ Problem-based (Real world problems) and/or Publishable: Students are solving problems
and completing projects to demonstrate their learning. Additionally, the projects can be shared

outside of the classroom. (Note: This objective could be reached by displaying the project on the
school’s morning newscast, posting the project to the classroom blog, presenting it to another
class, or publishing it via an outside source.)

Lesson idea implementation:

When explaining the standards I will make sure my students understand the importance of being
knowledgeable on important historical figures. I will access students’ prior knowledge by opening
the lesson with the question, “Do you love Girl Scout Cookies?” This question allows students to
express and connect their prior knowledge to a classic cookie that people know or have even tried. I
will assess student learning by using Blooket to quiz the students on what they learned throughout
the lesson.
Managing student learning:
These tools will allow students to collaborate with one another on information that they learn
throughout the lesson.
This lesson allows students to work at their own pace. I will also have students check in with me
after each activity to ensure the students are staying on task. I also will require students to
summarize what they learned at the end of the lesson to reflect.
Universal Design for Learning (UDL):
This lesson allows students to express their thinking in many ways. The students have the choice to
type out what they learn throughout the lesson or even draw what they have learned. This lesson
also includes a video which helps students visually learn about Juliette Gordon Low. All of these
allow students to express their thinking and give students the opportunity to learn in different ways.
Reflective Practice:
I believe this tool will help students build understanding differently because they can learn using
many different platforms. They also can work at their own pace, express themselves, and connect
the lesson with something that they are familiar with. I look forward to implementing the usage of
the students being able to actively respond to their peers. It allows for students to have open
discussions on particular topics and connects them with one another.
