1. Subject: History 2. Curriculum Area: Early European history 3. Standard(s) What is the standards you are addressing? 4. Objectives Students will be able to list the three forms of plague and how they are contracted 5. Assessment: Students will be assessed based off of their completion of the tasks (contributing to the class padlet, viewing/completing the nearpod, and writing a short response using the provided rubric as a guide) 6. Prerequisite Knowledge: No prior knowledge is required for this lesson 7. New Knowledge: Students will learn about the types of plague that swept through Europe and be able to identify them based off of key differences between them 8. Class Time: Class will start with the students going to padlet and doing a KWL style chart so I can see what they know, want to know and what they learn (at the end of the unit on plague, students will be free to add to the know section throughout the unit). The students will then start viewing/ doing the nearpod to learn the basics of the types of plague. This will be done live style. After students will research on type of plague to find more information about it. They will take this information and write a short (no more than one page) paper on it. They will follow the standards outlined in the rubric. 9. Materials: Click here to go to the padlet KWL chart View the following nearpod and answer all questions/complete all activities OR wait for the live link code and follow along
View the following rubric and start researching your chosen topic. If not completed before the end of class finish at home.
10. Connection: This lesson will teach students about an illness that is no longer a threat to people. Connections can be made to current illnesses that have no cure. 11. Differentiation: The padlet is designed so anyone could post anything without being judged, so it should allow most students the freedom to post. The nearpod can be made easier by having fewer questions, though this lesson only has a few multiple choice, so it should be ok for most students. The final research part can be made easier by providing websites for students to view and adjusting the length/requirements to fit the students’ needs. 12 Evaluation: Student learning will be evaluated by what they add to the padlet, their answers to the nearpod questions and how well they follow the rubric to complete the short research response. 13. Homework or extension: If all work is completed in the allotted class time there will be no homework for this section. If work is not completed students will finish uncompleted sections as homework.
