Part II: IMPLEMENTATION

How will I find out what students already know about this topic? The class discussion following the reading of, Far Away Home will serve as my preassessment. This will show me what each student knows about life post-Civil War. What will I do to make a connection between students and this lesson? The book, Far Away Home will serve as my hook. This will get students interested in the subject and I will then connect it to the daily lives of South Carolinians after the Civil War. What will I say to explain the importance of learning this lesson? This lesson is important because the south played major roles both before and after the civil war. South Carolina was a very active state in the Civil War, so as South Carolinians and also Americans is imperative that students know the history of their country and state. What will I do to show students what is expected? I will share an example of the written assignment created by myself. This will give to the students a model of how their paragraph should be written and what should be included. What will we do together as they learn how to succeed at the new task? Together, the teacher and students complete the guided study notes. While I am lecturing from the smart board. I will also walk around and work with students while they create their paragraph to be include in our classroom story, Life Without. What will I ask to know if students understand so far? List questions. What will I do throughout the lesson to determine if students understand the information? List activities/techniques or describe the strategies that you plan to use. Questions: 1. How was daily for South Carolinians after the Civil War? 2. What were South Carolinians forced to live without after the Civil War? 3. What racial tensions still existed after the Civil War? Students will be given a rubric for creating their paragraph each point listed above will be included in the rubric. What will students do to internalize the knowledge? Students will create a personal account paragraph describing the life of South Carolinians after the Civil War as if they were living in that era.
