FIVE-STEP LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Grade Level 5 Social Studies Unit Title Lesson Plan Date: Week ___ FIVE-STEP LESSON PLAN OBJECTIVE. What is your objective? By the end of the lesson, SWBAT describe how the war ended in both the European and Pacific theaters of war. By the end of the lesson, SWBAT evaluate the Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. KEY POINTS. What knowledge and essential skills are embedded in the objective? a. The Allied Powers raced towards Berlin, eventually winning the war in May of 1945. This day is known as V-E Day. Hitler killed himself before he could be captured, but many of the Nazi leaders were put on trial in Nuremberg Germany for war crimes where they were sent to jail or put to death for their actions in the Holocaust. In Japan, the surrender did not come as quickly as it did in Germany. Japan would not surrender so Harry Truman, Roosevelt died, decided to unleash and drop this brand new weapon known as the atomic bomb. There were two bombs – one dropped on Hiroshima killing 140,000 people, and the other was on Nagasaki killing close to 75,000 people. April 1945. This was a tough decision for Truman because he known that causalities would be big, but he knew if the U.S. kept fighting the U.S. casualties would be large – so he dropped the atomic bombs. On September 2, 1945, the war officially ended when Japan surrendered. This day is known as V-J Day. Essential Questions: What was the opportunity cost associated with dropping the atomic bomb on Japan? How did the Allied Powers win World War II? Vocabulary: Truman, Nagasaki, Hiroshima, Atomic Bomb, Hirohito, Nuclear, radiation, opportunity cost ASSESSMENT. Describe, briefly, what students will do to show you that they have mastered (or made progress toward) the objective. Attach your daily assessment, completed to include an exemplary student response that illustrates the expected level of rigor. Indicate whether you will administer the assessment as the independent practice or during the lesson closing. At the end of the lesson, Ss will take a brief exit ticket on the end of World War II. Sample Questions below: 1. Why did Truman decide to drop the Atomic bomb on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan? a. Because he was afraid that Japan was going to drop an atomic bomb on the U.S. b. Because he wanted to show how strong he was to Hitler c. Because he wanted to end the war and stop anymore U.S. deaths d. Because he wanted to see if the Atomic bomb worked. 2. Why did the Nazi party and Germany have to surrender? a. The Nazi party and Germany surrendered because they could not fight a two front war. b. Because Hitler committed suicide c.

How will you communicate what is about to happen? How will you communicate how it will happen? How will you communicate its importance? How will you communicate connections to previous lessons? How will you engage students and capture their interest? MATERIALS. FIVE-STEP LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Teacher: T will begin the lesson with the following starter: “Turn to your neighbor and discuss why it was important that the U.S. opened up the Western Front in Europe during World War II.” T will the Ss first share their responses with their classmates. T will have the Ss share their responses with the class. T will explain that today we are going to learn about how World War II ended. T will review the objective for the day. Students: Ss will share their starter. Ss will internalize the objective for the day. N/A 2. INTRODUCTION OF NEW MATERIAL (25 min.) How will you explain/demonstrate all knowledge/skills required of the objective, so that students begin to actively internalize key points? Which potential misunderstandings do you anticipate? How will you proactively mitigate them? How/when will you check for understanding? How will you address misunderstandings? How will you clearly state and model behavioral expectations? Why will students be engaged? Teacher: T will begin the lesson with a brief PowerPoint/Key Note on the end of World War II (PowerPoint/Key Note – Lesson 17 – End of World War II – Great Depression and World War II Unit). T will have the Ss take notes on a graphic organizer on the following key points (Graphic Organizer – Lesson 17 – End of World War II – Great Depression and World War II Unit): The Allied Powers raced towards Berlin, eventually winning the war in May of 1945. This day is known as V-E Day. Hitler killed himself before he could be captured, but many of the Nazi leaders were put on trial in Nuremberg, Germany for war crimes where they were sent to jail or put to death for their actions in the Holocaust. In Japan, the surrender did not come as quickly as it did in Germany. Japan would not surrender so Harry Truman, (Roosevelt died) decided to unleash and drop this brand new weapon known as the atomic bomb. There were two bombs – one dropped on Hiroshima killing 140,000 people, and the other was on Nagasaki - killing close to 75,000 people. April 1945. This was a tough decision for Truman because he known that causalities would be big, but he knew if the U.S. kept fighting the U.S. casualties would be large – so he dropped the atomic bombs. On September 2, 1945, the war officially ended when Japan surrendered. This day is known as V-J Day. T will ask in depth questions about the subject including: What was the opportunity cost for Truman when he was considering dropping the Atomic Bomb? Why was it a hard decision for Truman? What led to the Nazi defeat in Germany? T will have the Ss discuss these questions with partners and then with the class. Students: Ss will fill out their graphic organizers. Ss will answer questions. Ss will be cooperative during the brief Power Point Graphic Organizer, PowerPoint / Key Note 3. GUIDED PRACTICE (20 min.) How will students practice all knowledge/skills required of the objective, with your support, such that they continue to internalize the key points? How will you ensure that students have multiple opportunities to practice, with exercises scaffolded from easy to hard? How/when will you monitor performance to check for understanding? How will you address misunderstandings? How will you clearly state and model behavioral expectations? Why will students be engaged? Teacher: T will show a short clip of computer-generated version of the atomic bomb dropping on Japan (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NF4LQaWJRDg).. T will ask the Ss to list adjectives to describe the bomb and its effects (Graphic Organizer – Lesson 17 – End of World War II – Great Depression and World War II Unit): T will then show the clip again, and then have the students write a short reflection about the power and destruction of war. T will have the Ss share out some of their writings if they wish. Students: Ss will watch the clip. Ss will reflect on the clip. 4. INDEPENDENT PRACTICE (30 min.) How will students attempt independent mastery of all knowledge and/or skills required of the objective, such that they solidify their internalization of the key points? How will you provide opportunities for remediation and extension? How will you clearly state and model behavioral expectations? Why will students be engaged? Atomic Bomb Clip, Graphic Organizer FIVE-STEP LESSON PLAN TEMPLATE Teacher: T will have the Ss fill out a chart focusing on the opportunity cost of the choices involved in ending the war in the Pacific Theater (whether to drop the bomb or not) (Graphic Organizer – Lesson 17 – End of World War II – Great Depression and World War II Unit) T will have them fill pick what they would do if they were Truman and then write a short paragraph rationalizing why they made the decision they made. Students: Ss will complete their cause and effect and opportunity cost chart. Graphic Organizer 5. CLOSING (10 min.) How will students summarize and state the significance of what they learned? If the independent practice did not serve as an assessment, how will students attempt independent mastery of the knowledge and/or skills introduced and practiced above? Why will students be engaged? REINFORCEMENT Teacher: T will have the Ss take a brief exit ticket (Exit Ticket – Lesson 17 – End of World War II – Great Depression and World War II Unit): T will collect the exit tickets T will review the main points T will preview the class: Ss will learn about how technology enters into warfare with the end of the War in the Pacific.
