Individual Student Information and Differentiation Strategies

Elena is a 15 year-old 10th grader and an English learner. She is from Mexico and both of her parents are professionals. Her extended family includes aunts, uncles, and cousins. Her grandparents live in Mexico and she and her family visit them in the summer. She has been in the United States for one and a half years. She is literate in Spanish and often reads Spanish literature. Her report cards from her school in Mexico indicate above average grades. Elena is somewhat shy socially but is well liked and works well in small groups. She is seldom absent from school.

The assessments before the quizzes and test will help me assess whether Elena is understanding the material or if I need to go over certain parts of the lesson again. In order to help facilitate the students learning I would recommend some books she could read in Spanish so that she can activate some background knowledge on what we are learning.

2. Unit Rationale: Enduring Understandings & Essential Questions

This unit is important because students should know how the industrial world we all live in first started. It is important that students understand how the industrial world developed and how it still applies to there lives today. The industrial revolution matters because it is still happening today in many parts of the world where many people including children are being exploited. Students need to understand the Industrial Revolution because the next unit is Imperialism and they need to make connections on how the Industrial Revolution lead to Imperialism.

 

Enduring Understandings (EU)

Students will understand that the emergence of capitalism came from the Industrial Revolution. At the end of the unit students will understand how different social classes were created and how that caused different social movements. Students will know that the Industrial Revolution was the emergence of super powers and they will be able to relate how what happened back then still applies to their lives today.

 

Essential Questions

Why did we see shifts from agricultural to industrial societies and what effects did it have on different cultures?  (explanation)

8. REFLECTION

·       In what ways have you differentiated instruction to meet the varying needs of your students including your high achievers? I have differentiated instruction to meet the different needs of my students by incorporating visual, auditory, and kinesthetic learning in my class activities. For the students that are high achievers they will have the opportunity to get ahead and get more in depth with the unit information.
·       What strengths and possible limitations do you see in your plan? The strengths of my plan are that there is lots of differentiation and many different forms of assessment. The limitations are that I need to cover everything that is on the test so we don’t have time to cover other things that are very interesting and relevant.
·       What forms of data/evidence might you collect from this unit to measure its effectiveness - gauged by actual student learning? The students will have several quizzes and tests that will be helpful in measuring learning. We also have many other assessments throughout the unit that will help me assess there learning before the formal assessments.
·       What have you learned about yourself, students, your unit plan topic, and/or planning in general as a result of designing this unit plan? I have learned that I need to work on my organization in order top be a more effective teacher. I have learned so much about my students in regards to their academics and personal lives. I am learning a lot from teaching not only this unit but also the entire semester. Every day I am learning something new with my students. Organizing this unit plan has helped me appreciate all of the hard work that goes into lesson planning.
·       What do you know now that you didn’t know at the start of this unit or program? There is so many things I know now that I didn’t know before. I think one of the most important is knowing how explicit I need to be with my expectations.
