Name of Artifact: Unit Plan
Date of Artifact: April 2015
Course: Education Field Experience EDUC 230-02
Rationale Statement
The artifact required a 15-20 minute class instruction plan on a chosen area
(history) in a group project. I was the end of a three-part daily lesson on the preRevolutionary War in the American Colonies. This plan allows me to give the class an
organized outline with key points of my lesson, while proving to them I know the area as
some information is not on the outline. Such things as open ended questions, maps, or hw
is not included on this sheet, but is a great source of information for the student to
reference for the coming Newspaper assessment.
A reinvigorated idea came from this unit plan that sometimes when you need to
get out specific information, the book has a clean format with thought provoking
questions you can use to start and finish a lesson with. Many lessons will cover multiple
standards in the NJPST without the children even knowing. This strictly for professional
benefit.
I am not sure how specifically use THIS Unit Plan in a future class, as the plan is
based on a chapter within a specific book of a high school course. Unless I taught with
the same book I would have to change the wording, but all information is similar in
school texts with the Revolutionary War so the basic outline format could be used to
teach.
