SEED 571 H Dr. Barbara Slater Stern Lesson Plan: Format and Components Teacher’s name: _Rob Campbell_____ Date of Lesson/Class/Period ___10/17/05___ Subject: __World History I_______ Topic: _Founding the Roman Republic__________ Concepts: Republic, Twelve Tables, Bill of Rights, Rights of citizens General Objective[s]: This lesson was designed to show students the essential components of a Republic form of government. The major theme of this lesson is to show how the Romans formed their government and to reveal how similar their form of government was compared to the United States. This comparison will make this material more relevant to the students and hopefully more engaging. Theme II of the NCSS standards, “Time, Continuity and Change” (Performance Expectations A, B, C, D) WHI.6 The student will demonstrate knowledge of ancient Rome from about 700 B.C. to 500 A.D. in terms of its impact on Western civilization by a) assessing the influence of geography on Roman economic, social, and political development; c) explaining the social structure and role of slavery, significance of citizenship, and the development of democratic features in the government of the Roman Republic; Learning Outcomes: Through this lesson SWBAT… - identify the major geographic features in and around the Roman Republic (soon to be Empire) - distinguish the similarities between the Roman Republic and the modern day United States Government - interpret primary source documents of this era and the present, making comparisons for evaluation. Student and Teacher Activities with Estimated Time Blocks: Set Induction: - KW sections of a KWL Chart. The topic is anything on the Roman Empire. o Estimated time – 5 minutes Lesson Body: - Map Activity o Students will be handed a blank map of the Mediterranean Sea area. In pairs, they will write in as many physical features, bodies of water, ancient civilizations, and ancient cities that they think are appropriate for this chapter. o As a class, we will discuss similar entries and some differences. At the end, we will list the important geographic features that the cooperating teacher deems necessary knowledge for this chapter. (Gaul, Rome, Alexandria, Asia Minor, Athens, Sparta, Mediterranean Sea, Atlantic Ocean, Aegean Sea, Black Sea, Red Sea, Nile River, Europe, Asia, Africa). o Estimated time – 15 minutes Video “The Republic of Rome” o Section of a video on the expansion of Rome o Estimated time – 7 minutes o Students will be asked to think about this question, what is a Republic? - Discussion Question: o “What is a republic? What is meant by the phrase “and to the republic, for which it stands” in the United States’ Pledge of Allegiance? Discuss the ways in which the American republic and the Roman republic are similar or different?” o Estimated time – 10 minutes - Venn Diagram/Compare and Contrast the Roman Republic to the US Government o Through the diagram, the students will see the similarities to the US Government o Estimated time – 10 minutes - Twelve Tables/Bill of Rights DRTA o Analyze the Twelve Tables to the United States Bill of Rights o Guiding Questions: Which laws dealt with murder, property, and rights of people? How are these two documents similar? What are the purposes of each document? Look at the wording, is there anything different? Are any of these Tables unfair? Is the anything missing in the Twelve Tables that you think Roman citizens should have had? Add or amend two tables. Discuss when finished o Estimated Time – 40 minutes Closure: - L section of the KWL Chart. The student teachers will go over what the class learned today and will make inferences to what will be taught in the coming days on this subject. o Estimated time – 5 minutes Materials Needed for the Lesson: Twelve Tables of Roman Law, US Bill of Rights, Blank Mediterranean area map, Methods of Evaluating Student Progress/Performance: When listening to the student’s answers and new “tables” and their discussion on the differences between the Roman Republic and the American Government, we will be checking for comprehension. Subject Matter Integration/Extension: This lesson is an excellent way to start a unit on Rome. Making sure the students have a grasp of the geography of the area and the beginnings of the culture are key to understanding the rest of the Roman Empire. Also, the comparison between styles of government helps the students understand where the government they live under comes from. Plans for Diversity: ESL students will receive the documents in their native language and will be given some leniency when writing out any comparisons. Students with learning disabilities will be given shortened documents that still include the overall themes and ideas that the teacher is looking for. Reflections/PPT’s in Lesson: I believe that this lesson puts students in control of their learning and understanding, but also guides them. It also helps connect the past to the present so that the content is more relevant to the students.
