III. IMPLEMENTATION

• Engage
• Teacher will show a painting depicting slaves using the underground railroad to escape to freedom. She will ask the students to state what they see, what they think, and what is happening in the painting. 

• Instructional Input

·       Once the students have looked at the picture, the teacher will tell the students that this is a painting of slaves who are escaping to freedom. 

·       Teacher will ask questions like “what are some things you know about the Underground Railroad so far?” “What are some things you want to know about the Underground Railroad?”

·       Today, we are going to learn about the Underground Railroad and how heroes like Harriet Tubman helped the enslaved people escape to freedom.

·       Teacher will share the KWL chart with the class on Google Docs and allow students time to fill it out.

·       Students will only fill out “what I know” and “what I want to know” at this time. 

·       After filling it out, the class will discuss what they wrote. 

·       Today, we are going to learn about the Underground Railroad and how heroes like Harriet Tubman helped the enslaved people escape to freedom.

·       Ask the students if they learned an interesting fact from the video and to share it out loud. She will then ask the students to write what they have learned on their KWL charts (at least 3 facts)

 

• Independent Practice 

 

• Students will fill out “what I learned” independently after watching the video and the PowerPoint. 

 

• Students can use their KWL chart for the assessment.

 

Ask the students to go to the following Kahoot link and take the quiz. The students may use their KWL charts to respond to the Kahoot if needed.

• What do the students need to know prior to the lesson?
  
  
  How to open a Google Document, who slaves were, how to access Kahoot, what a KWL chart is 
  
  
• How will prior knowledge and experience be assessed?
  
  
  Prior knowledge will be discussed in the beginning of the lesson when the teacher asks the class if they know what the UR was. At the end of the lesson, students are assessed when taking a Kahoot.
  
  
• How will you use this information in the planning process?

  
  

  I will review with the students what a KWL chart is prior to assigning it to them.

• Why should the content of this lesson be taught at this grade level?
  
  
  In 5th grade, students learn about enslavement and individuals who have shaped history. I think this lesson aligns well with the 5th grade standards and is engaging for this age group.
  
  
• How do the objectives that you have for the lesson align with the standards?
  
  
  The objectives are to fill out a KWL chart online as well as answer the questions on the assessment correctly. Students will be using technology to fulfill the objectives. 
  
  
• When will the lesson be taught in the course of the school year? Why?
  
  
  I would teach history in chronological order because I think it makes the most sense. I would place this lesson after the students learn about colonial times, so whenever that falls throughout the school year is when I would teach it.
