If appropriate, identify the unit of study that defines the larger context of the lesson. Briefly describe the resources used to develop the lesson. Learning about Columbia (culture, arts, government, music, etc.)State/District/Professional StandardsIdentify one or more state-adopted student academic content standards. (Note: Please list the number and text of each standard that is being addressed. If only a portion of a standard is being addressed, note it here. Keep the number of standards to a minimum in any one lesson. These standards clearly align with the learning objectives, teacher and child activities, and the assessment in the lesson. Math Standard-CC.2.2.3.A.1 Represent and solve problems involving multiplication and division.Art Standards-9.1.3.I Identify arts events that take place in schools and in communities.Social Studies Standard-8.1.8.A Compare and contrast events over time and how continuity and change over time influenced those events.Learning Objective(s):The lesson objective is the learned outcome of the lesson. These should align with the state standards and curricular focus. The lesson objective includes three elements: 1. Specific Learning Outcome: Clearly define what students are expected to know or be able to do by the end of the lesson. This could involve understanding key historical events, cultural aspects, or geographical features related to Columbia.2. Assessment Criteria: Outline how students will demonstrate their understanding or mastery of the content. This could involve assessments such as quizzes, projects, or presentations that reflect their knowledge of Columbia.3. Connection to Standards: Ensure that the objective aligns with relevant state standards

CREATING AN INTEGRATED SOCIAL STUDIES UNITand curricular goals. This means referencing specific standards that the lesson addresses, ensuring that the learning outcomes are not only educational but also compliant with educational requirements.Differentiation/Adaptations for Individual Children:1.Tailored Instruction: Teachers may modify lessons to cater to different learning levels, ensuring that all students can engage with the material at their own pace.2. Varied Assessment Methods: Assessments may be adapted to allow students to demonstrate their understanding in various ways, such as through projects, presentations, or traditional tests.3. Flexible Grouping: Students might be grouped based on their abilities or interests for certain activities, allowing for peer learning and collaboration.4. Individualized Support: Some children may receive additional support through specialized programs or one-on-one assistance, particularly those with learning disabilities or other challenges.5. Culturally Responsive Teaching: Educators may incorporate students' cultural backgrounds into the curriculum, making learning more relevant and engaging for all children.Complete this chart with modifications and/or accommodations you will make based on the needs of your students.

Pre-assessment of children’s prior knowledge of lesson objective(s) allows the teacher: There should be a pre-assessment prior to every lesson you teach. Pre-Assessment aims to evaluate students' knowledge based on their previous school experiences and the assessments conducted at the start of the academic year. This evaluation process helps to gauge what students already understand and the extent of their knowledge. However, regardless of their assessments, all students receive the same curriculum and are not divided into groups based on their performance; instead, they are all placed at a uniform instructional level.Academic Language to be Taught or Reviewed:Effective communication is critical to the success of the lesson. Examine the oral and written vocabulary that you will use and teach in the lesson and that children will need to understand to learn the lesson objective. Include language function, syntax, and vocabulary. Consider:What words in your lesson need special attention? Why1. Geography: Understanding terms related to the physical landscape, such as "Andes," "Amazon," and "Caribbean," is crucial for grasping Columbia's diverse environment.2. Culture: Words like "cumbia," "vallenato," and "café" are important as they represent key aspects of Colombian music, dance, and coffee culture.3. History: Terms such as "Bogotá," "Simón Bolívar," and "colonization" are essential for understanding the historical context of the country.4. Economy: Words like "export," "agriculture," and "mining" are significant for discussing Columbia's economic activities and resources.What words/concepts are related to teaching and learning (for example, compare, predict, solve)?1. Analyze - Breaking down information into parts to understand it better.

CREATING AN INTEGRATED SOCIAL STUDIES UNIT2. Evaluate - Assessing the value or significance of information or arguments.3. Synthesize - Combining different ideas or information to form a coherent whole.4. Collaborate - Working together with others to enhance learning experiences.5. Reflect - Thinking critically about one's own learning and experiences.6. Engage - Actively participating in the learning process.7. Explore - Investigating new ideas or concepts to gain deeper understanding.8. Discuss - Sharing ideas and opinions to foster understanding and learning.9. Apply - Using knowledge in practical situations to reinforce learning.10. Create - Generating new ideas or products based on learned concepts. What words/concepts are related to the subject matter and content (for example, climate or weather)? 1. Geography: Location, topography, natural resources.2. Climate: Weather patterns, tropical climate (for Colombia), temperate climate (for Columbia, Missouri), precipitation.3. Culture: Traditions, languages (Spanish in Colombia), cuisine, music, festivals.4. History: Colonial history, independence movements, significant historical figures.5. Economy: Agriculture (coffee, flowers in Colombia), trade, tourism.6. Biodiversity: Flora and fauna, ecosystems, conservation.7. Education: Academic programs, research institutions (for Columbia University).8. Politics: Government structure, political history, international relations.9. Demographics: Population, ethnic groups, urban vs. rural distribution.You must consider how you will teach these words meaningfully during the lesson to foster language development and ensure effective communication.: 1. Cultural Context: Introduce vocabulary within the context of Colombian culture, geography, history, and current events. For example, words like "café," "biodiversity," "Andes," and "Carnaval" can be explored through discussions about Colombia's coffee industry, its rich ecosystems, the Andes mountain range, and cultural festivals.2. Multimedia Resources: Use videos, music, and images that showcase Colombian life, landscapes, and traditions. This can help students visualize the concepts and make connections to the vocabulary being taught.3. Interactive Projects: Assign group projects where students research different aspects of Colombia, such as its cuisine, music, or famous landmarks. Encourage them to present their findings using the new vocabulary, promoting collaboration and communication.4. Word Associations: Create word association activities where students connect new vocabulary with their prior knowledge or experiences. For instance, they could relate "biodiversity" to their understanding of ecosystems or "café" to their experiences with coffee.5. Real-Life Applications: Encourage students to use the vocabulary in real-life contexts, such as writing a travel brochure for Colombia or creating a dialogue that might occur in a Colombian market. This practical application reinforces their understanding and usage of the words.

CREATING AN INTEGRATED SOCIAL STUDIES UNIT6. Discussion and Reflection: Facilitate discussions that allow students to express their thoughts and questions about Colombia. This not only helps them practice using the vocabulary but also encourages critical thinking and deeper engagement with the topic.7. Vocabulary Journals: Have students maintain a vocabulary journal where they can write definitions, sentences, and personal connections to the words they learn about Colombia. This reflective practice aids retention and understanding. Materials/Technology/Equipment/Resources:List texts, Web sites, writing/art supplies, props/artifacts, assistive technology, computer software, Internet resources, audio/visual media, electronic equipment, and other tools and materials needed. Specify quantities. Explain how these materials will be distributed and used.Include materials that provide diverse learning experiences for all children. Materials: Handout of ColumbiaYouTube Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rTsPaAIJdnwLibrary Books about Columbia Story Time: “Waiting for the Biblioburro - Read Aloud Picture Book” https://youtu.be/L-WTJjb9lPo?si=V0_FQp8PHwNa9l2JMusic- Use youtube to watch and hear traditional music Play a cultural game “Porque siempre yo(why is it always me)”Dice (game)Board Game (box)Pegs (game)Grouping Structures (e.g., whole-class, small groups, pairs, one-on-one):Learning is a social process and building community and social competence should be considered in planning each lesson. Indicate the student grouping structures and include a brief rationale for the grouping strategies you will use during the lesson, for example: Whole class groupingheterogeneous and homogeneous small groups (for example, cooperative learning)children working in pairs (for example, peer tutoring)Students will collaborate with their assigned groups, determined by the seating arrangement. Each group will receive a different assignment, and the tasks will vary daily. Therefore, students must put forth their best effort to complete their assignments.

CREATING AN INTEGRATED SOCIAL STUDIES UNITFamily Connections:Effective teachers are mindful of the importance of families and communities to children’s development and learning. Describe one or more strategies that you will use in this lesson to engage and involve families in a meaningful way. Consider the following questions as you plan:What might families want or need to know about this lesson and/or the standards being taught? Parents receive a newsletter each Monday that keeps them updated on the lessons scheduled for the week ahead.What knowledge, skills, or interests might families be able to share on this topic? How might these assets contribute to the planning, implementation, or assessment of this lesson? Parents frequently find themselves with limited involvement in their child's educational journey. While the school distributes a weekly newsletter and vocabulary lists to families, these initiatives often do not fully captivate them in the learning process.What community resources are available? How might they be accessed? This class does not have any.How might children best share their learning in this lesson with their families?Homework is a valuable tool for students to practice and solidify the knowledge they acquire in the classroom. However, not every educator assigns homework. The SWITCH teacher, for instance, prioritizes in-class discussions and thorough explanations to guarantee that his students grasp the core concepts of each lesson. While many argue that homework is beneficial for cultivating time management and study skills, the key takeaway is that students should feel assured in their comprehension of the material.Lesson Sequence Align all activities with the standards, lesson objective(s), and pre- and post-assessments.Introduction/Anticipatory Set

With practical assistance and intervention, students can enhance their reading abilities, which can subsequently benefit their performance in subjects like math and beyond. By pinpointing the underlying reasons for these difficulties and addressing them proactively, we can equip students with the tools they need to attain academic success and realize their full potential.What activities will engage children in a variety of ways during the introduction? Exploring the world of plants can be a captivating experience for children when approached through diverse activities. Engaging in hands-on experiments, embarking on nature walks, creating arts and crafts, and participating in games can foster a more profound and enjoyable understanding of plants for kids.Building/Applying Knowledge and SkillsLearning Activities:Describe specifically and in a step-by-stepfashion what you and the children will do in each activity and transition.. Consider the following items when planning: multiple modalities, communication, technology, play, academic language, and integration of subject areas. Include time estimates for each step. If a substitute teacher were going to teach your lesson, are your learning activities clear?As a class, we will work together to create an anchor chart that highlights the life and culture of Colombia and its people. We will engage in a discussion to compare our lifestyles with those of Colombians. Additionally, we will utilize Google Classroom to share information about Colombia. Students will receive worksheets featuring facts about the country, vocabulary terms, and images. During game time, students will have the opportunity to rotate through a single game box. The winner of each game will allow a new player to join, ensuring that everyone has a chance to participate and potentially win.Assessment/Evaluation Process
