The blog needs to have the definitions by the end of the week or points will be taken off and tallied at the end.

__**Integration**__

 * Technology**: Students must create a blog which they will be adding to each week. The blog will consist of definitions giving during the class which will also need to be put into the class "Dictionary". The blog needs to have the definitions by the end of the week or points will be taken off and tallied at the end.


 * Art**: Students will need to include historical images along with explanations of those Images in their Prezi. Each image should be directly related to the 5 political and societal changes which took place during the Civil War.


 * English**: Students will need to be competent in all English related materials, such as reading, writing, and forms of citation. Plagiarism is by law not allowed so there will be no room for it in my class.

__Groupings__
Students will do Numbered Heads Together, Each student will be given a definition within their group, the groups will be broken up according to the amount of vocab words and they must memorize it and share it with the class. The class can then put it in their "Dictionary".

__**Differentiated Instruction**__
__**Verbal-Linguistic: **__ Students will read the vocabulary words aloud in class which were taught on that day, and will then give the definition. __**Naturalist**: __Students will pick plants, and animals that begin with the same letter as the vocabulary word use the image to remember the definition.
 * Strategies**
 * __Logical/Mathematical: __**Students will rank the words according to their understanding and present them to the instructor. The instructor will then go over each word that the students had trouble with.
 * __Visual/Spatial: __** The words will be written on the board and the students will walk up to the board and write the definition.
 * __Bodily/Kinesthetic __**: Students will each get a card. The cards will either have a definition on them or just the Vocabulary word. The students will then walk around the room searching for their matching cards.
 * __Musical/Rhythmic __**: Students will be asked to create a poem, rap, or song with the vocab words and present it to class.

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.
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

__**Academic Integrity**__: School is like solitaire. When you cheat, you only cheat yourself. Follow the academic codes of conduct, you don't want to end up literally paying for your mistake. __**Late Work**__ 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. Therefore, late work will be accepted whenever completion is possible.However, a point system will be in place that will allow students to get 2 extra points on their final grade if 85% their homework is passed in on time. __**Redo's**__ Redo's are available. Each student who so chooses, may redo any test that they feel they could have achieved a higher grade. However, for the student to fully understand the material they must meet with me to go over each question they got wrong. I will be available to help with each question. I will replace the retaken test grade with the original.

__**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.//**

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 blog.

The blog needs to have the definitions by the end of the week or points will be taken off and tallied at the end.

__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.
