Description |
| Deaf Awareness Lesson 1 of 3: | In this integrated lesson, students will understand the concept of audism and legislation and supreme court decisions that have helped to combat this issue. They will complete a jigsaw activity using digital research skills to further develop their understanding of legislation and court cases that have specifically impacted the civil rights of the Deaf community, particularly in regard to Deaf Education. Students will complete a graphic organizer. This is the first lesson in a unit designed to allow students to understand how the civil rights and liberties of people who are d/Deaf and hard of hearing have expanded over time using digital resources. |
| Deaf Awareness Lesson 2 of 3: | In this integrated lesson, students will analyze the impact of the various means used by Deaf people to promote change. They will use digital resources to analyze the Deaf President Now movement and the De’VIA movement. They will complete a graphic organizer comparing the characteristics of affirmative and resistive art in the Deaf community and discuss why an artist might choose one over the other. |
| Manatee Sea Grass Search-A: | Students will research potential threats to manatees that cause an increase in mortality rates. This is lesson 1 of 3 of an integrated computer science and civics mini-unit. |
| Create & Debate: Issues in the Deaf Community: Part 1: | Students will research issues within the Deaf community and learn the components of a debate. They will use prior knowledge and digital research skills to identify common beliefs and attitudes surrounding 3 issues within the Deaf community. This is the first lesson in a unit designed to allow students to participate in and reflect on the debate process using digital resources in order to strengthen their understanding of why it is essential to be informed citizens and how debates assist with this during elections. |
| Explore Voters' Rights: Lesson 1: | Students will explore the timeline of voters' rights in the United States. Students will specifically note the dates of the 15th, 19th, 24th, and 26th Amendments; poll tax; along with other historical events surrounding those amendments. Students will complete a graphic organizer on the amendments, bullet-pointing the most important information. Students will be given scenarios of people and decide if they can vote using an if/then system. This is Lesson 1 in a three-part unit integrating civics and coding. |
| Conserve Our Waters Part 1: | Students will research government websites to gather data about source water conservation. Students will also be answering open ended questions from the data gathered to summarize what they have learned. The data they are gathering and analyzing will be used to create a Public Service Announcement (PSA) using their coding skills in Scratch in this integrated lesson plan. This lesson is part one of a three-part mini lesson. |
| INTERNET RESEARCH TIPS AND CREDIBILITY: | Students will explore techniques for researching and determining credibility to find electronic resources for a topic of discussion in this lesson. |
