b.
Use historical research to evaluate the reason for the creation of Bill of Rights and identify the
specific prohibitions it put on governmental power.
c.
Find the compromises and differences between the Federalist and Antifederalist.
2. Objectives:
a.
Understanding the decisions made by the Supreme Court are influenced by what is written in
the Bill of Rights.
b.
Understand how the Constitution resides the Bill of Rights and how it affects the justice system
c.
Analyze political, economic, and social rights addressed in Bill of Rights that weren't previously
granted to the American people (i.e. conflicts, legislation,elections, Supreme Court decisions,
etc.).
To ensure that the lesson adheres different teaching and learning styles, there will be a
variety of different activities that pertain to the different needs of students. We will began
the lesson with an introductory PowerPoint which will give a brief overview of the formation
of the Bill of Rights and this will be essential to the visual learners.
Next they will be split into groups where they each have to research one amendment in
their groups and move around the room to collect information about the other amendments
from other groups that they didn't research, which will involve bodily kinesthetic. Students
will also get the chance to listen to recorded speeches about the proposal of the Bill of
Rights by James Madison to help develop their auditory skills.
One way that we will teach the students is by having them stand up in class and recite
the action of the amendments while having the other children try to guess the name and
number of the specific amendment. Another way that the students will be taught is by
having them fill out a graphic organizer on the Bill of Rights.
Lesson Plan
Step 1: Ready the Learner
Once we find a general learning style, we can adjust our standards to
help the students achieve them. In some cases we might make
standards higher or try to find ways to make the student grow to higher
standards. We do understand that there are some students that will
have academically gifted standards and by using technology help the
student learn in their own extensive standards.
Lesson Plan
Step 2: Target Specific Objectives
Two parts of our lesson plan using Dynamical Instructional Design (DID)
are finding the students learning styles and finding teaching strategies
to adhere with the students. The top objectives we want to teach them
are the reason why the Bill of Rights was created and the importance of
the Bill of Rights.
Lesson Plan
Action Plan
To prepare activities for the lesson we will find out the learning styles of the students
by using surveys and we will apply what we learn to our teaching.
To ready the classroom for the lesson we will:
Make sure all the technology is functioning the way they should.
Make sure technologies have access to internet connection
Have computers for the students
Have a projector for any videos and presentations
We will have an outline and feedback which will help us know where we are and
what we have to teach next.
Action Plan
Students will watch videos on their computers about the Bill of
Rights.
Students will have to search through the internet and write about
the amendment they think is the most important. They will have
to practice using copyright laws.
Survey online about which founding father describes the student.
Students will be engaged into playing learning games such as
Kahoot!
Action Plan
Technologies that will help bring academic success are:
