//**I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations**//
 * Modifications/Accommodations**


 * Attendance** is mandatory, missing a class will result in you missing something you wish you had known. However, absences do occur. The homework due on that day will be accepted whenever completion is possible, however you will want to get it done as soon as possible because each thing we do will have an effect on the next lesson we cover. While in class, students are expected to be enjoying themselves and paying attention to what is being talked about in the lesson because you never know what you might miss and need to have for an assignment or test. Homework will be given sparingly, only when it is a must to the lesson. I will try my best to make the homework as enjoyable as possible.

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__
Students will be shown copious amounts of diverse ways to learn. Whether it be through using the eight intelligences, or by relating students likes to the material being covered. Each lesson will be approached using modern technologies and contexts. Students will engage in peer related activities and discussions, along with a line of communication between myself and students. I will help students to truly understand all material presented to the best of my abilities, and base many lessons around cultural developments which will lead to better understandings by students. I will strive to create a caring and comfortable environment for each student to learn to the best of their abilities.
 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**
 * Rationale:**

The Civil War and Reconstruction will be the topic of discussion in class, the material will be presented to the students and multiple,creative ways of learning will be introduced. Goals for students to achieve will be clearly laid out. Material will be presented to the class in such a way that will help each student learn at their highest level. Information will be given logically and sequentially helping learning and developmental theory. The goal of this lesson is to have the students better if not master their understanding of one of the most prolific eras in all of U.S history. Through application of the students will build upon ideas I have given them, along with create new ideas in order to further their understandings, students will show off what they have come up with by designing a prezi.
 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**
 * Rationale:**

__**Verbal-Linguistic**: __ two teams will share their jigsaw topics, hitting on all the major points. __**Logical/Mathematical**: __Class will discuss battle tactics and strategies. __**Visual/Spatial**: __ A movie will be shown about the major battles/ Civil War, as well as students creating their own Imovie with clay models. __**Naturalist**: __<span class="wiki_link_ext">The mock battle will take place outside and the students will get a feel of what it was like to have been there.

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
__**Classroom Arrangement**__ I will arrange my class in the form of an "H". Using tables or desks I will create two lines closest to the walls of the classroom. Depending on how many students I may need to use 2 -3 tables or 5-6 desks to create the lines. These two lines will be the outside of the "H", on the inside I will place two tables or 3-4 desks. These desks and chairs will serve as the connector in the "H". However, I will separate the tables or desks in the middle evenly so that there is a gap between them. This gap will serve as the "pathway" that each student will need to take to reach the front of the class. Students will not sit in their seats for more than ten minutes, and depending on time and students this constraint is up for revision. Each student will never have the opportunity to face away from the board.


 * Day 1 - 5**


 * Students will arrive in class on day 1 and choose from a hat to decide which side they are on, they will be told that the reason they are picking from the hat is there will be a mock battle **15min**
 * I will begin by handing out a list of battles I want them to familiarize themselves with.**65 min**
 * For the rest of the 4 days the plan will be very similar
 * Students will also be given directions on how to construct the Imovie, further directions and materials will be provided at a later date.

Students will be asked to randomly choose from a hat. The hat will contain cards saying Confederate or Union, whichever the students chooses thus is their side. Mock battle will ensue.(**Hook**) Once students have chosen from the hat they will be asked to sit back down in their seats and I will begin the lesson. Students will know the Generals of the Northern and Southern armies, major battles and their locations, basic impacts.(**Equip**) Students will create a step by step chart showing the major points from beginning to the end.(**Explore**) Students will perform the jigsaw, each student is given a topic to master then the student will teach his/her group about that topic(**Experience**)

Students will choose a battle,General, and one tactic used by that general to create a 5 min essay outlining the importance of each during the war and that battle specifically(**Rethink/Revise**) Students will then be asked to tell the teacher who they chose, what battle they chose, and what tactic they chose. The teacher will then allow time for each student to read allowed what they have written and give feedback and correct misconceptions(**Rethink/Refine**) The Instructor will use the idea of One final Question which will be proposed to each student after they have shared with the class, the student will then be assigned to come to class the next day with the answer to that question(**Evaluate**)

Students will be asked to work on their Imovie's over the weekend, Each student will be placed into groups of two or three depending on class size. The model clay will be provided, but students will only be given a certain amount. Students must design the rest of the sets themselves and be creative. projects must be finished by days 9 and 10.


 * Day 6 - 10**


 * Students will come into class havung worked on their Imovie's over the weekend as instructed.
 * I will again begin by showing the class a TV show about a few battles which will help them with their own ideas **120 min movie, will play over 3 days**
 * I will play the movie for 40 min each day until the 9th day when their Imovies are due.
 * days 9 and 10 will be presentation day, along with reflection days.
