Student and Teacher Activities with Estimated Time Blocks: Time What the Teacher will do What the student will do Set Induction - 5 minutes Teacher will put students Students will work in their into six different groups. teacher-appointed groups to (5) develop a list of thoughts on Teacher will ask each group why they believe countries to develop a list with their would form alliances thoughts on why they together. believe countries would form alliances together. Groups will share their lists with the class. If students are stuck teacher can give them a hint: Students will listen to the Reasons are usually related groups share their ideas. to economics and security. Introduction to Activity: 5 minutes (10) Teacher will ask each group to share their list with the class. Teacher will write up six different organizations on the board (the number will correspond to the group number): 1. Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) 2. European Union (EU) 3. North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) 4. Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) 5. United Nations (UN) 6. World Trade Organization (WTO) Teacher will ask students if they are familiar with any of these organizations. Teacher will give each group an organization to research. Teacher will give each group the worksheet that Students will ask themselves if they are familiar with any of the organizations on the board. Students will share their familiarizations with the class if they are so inclined. Jigsaw Activity: 30 minutes corresponds to their organization. Teacher will walk around and observe the groups. (40) Jigsaw Activity Relocation: 20 minutes Teacher will answer any questions the students may have. Teacher will have each group member number off within themselves. (60) Teacher will create the new groups with an “expert” from each group in a new group. Teacher will tell students that they are now “experts” on their assigned organization. They must now teach the information of that organization to the other students in their new group. Map Activity: 25 minutes Teacher will hand out organization charts for students to fill out on the remaining organizations they learn from their new group members. Teacher will give students a blank map of the world. (85) Teacher will tell students to label the headquarters of the 6 organizations on the world map. The teacher will tell students to use different colored pencils or crayons for the different organizations. Also, make a key or legend at the bottom Students will work with their groups to complete the worksheet on their assigned organization. Students will relocate to their new group. Students will teach their new group members the information they learned on their organization. Students will take notes using the chart worksheet on the other student’s information. Students will work with their new groups to complete the map activity. Closure: 5 minutes (90) of the map so you remember what organization each color stands for. The teacher will ask students to write down 3 functions of the international organizations. Also, 1 organization the student found particularly interesting with a brief explanation of why they found it so interesting. Students will write down three functions of the international organizations and one organization they found interesting with a brief explanation. Students will hand this in to the teacher as an exit pass activity. The teacher will ask students to hand it in as an exit pass activity. Materials Needed for the Lesson: Computers with Internet Access (Ideally enough for all students) Group Worksheets World Map Worksheet Pen or Pencil Paper Colored Pencils or Crayons Methods of Evaluating Student Progress/Performance: Student progress/performance is evaluated during and at the end of the lesson. The teacher can assess student progress through observation of student participation in groups. The teacher can look at the worksheets to make sure students are understanding and attaining the information. In addition, the teacher can observe the “expert” students teach other group members about the information they acquired. Finally, the teacher can assess the knowledge of each individual student through evaluation of the exit pass activity. Differention for Special Needs: Students with a range of special needs are addressed throughout the lesson. Students work in groups to complete the worksheets and gather information. Therefore, if a student is having difficulty the group members can assist that student with the problem. In addition, the lesson integrates technology so students who learn best by physically interacting with the material benefit. The map activity also helps students visualize the regions affected by the international organizations. This sort of visual aid will promote understanding of the content and addresses students with a range of special needs. Subject Matter Integration/Extension: This lesson fits in the middle of the unit of understanding conditions of developed and developing nations. This lesson introduces students to international organizations and the different goals they pursue. Many of these organizations address the needs of developing countries and their goals to help those in need. This is critical for students to understand the importance of international organizations in order to build upon future lessons, as well as function in society. Students can use the information from this lesson to further their learning on social, economic, and cultural conditions of nations in the contemporary world. Reflections/PPT’s in Lesson: This lesson fits in with my philosophy of teaching because it promotes student-centered learning. Students work in groups to acquire necessary information. They interact with the material and have the ability to look deeper into the elements of the lesson that interest them personally. I believe this is critical to student learning. I believe studentcentered learning also engages students in the learning process, which serves to motivate students to become more interested to learn the content.
