Class Description The 6th grade general education class, in which I designed this Project-Based Learning Plan for, consists of 20 students. Of these 20 students, 1 of them has a learning disability. Learning disability is defined as “a condition that causes significant learning problems or an unexpected underachievement” (Smith 2007). This type of performance requires a unique, individualized, and often intensive intervention. The environmental design of the 6th grade classroom consists of 4 large rectangle tables, which are placed in 2 “rows.” This means that the tables face the front of the classroom, to make the instructors’ lectures, boards, and technology (computer and TV) easily viewed. There are 5 students at each table. There are minimal stimuli to distract the students in the learning environment. Classroom rules are posted in the front of the classroom as a daily reminder to follow them diligently. Decorations and class work are displayed on the bulletin boards in the back of the classroom, by the teachers’ desk, and the hallway. Title of Unit/Curricular Theme The theme of this Project Based Learning Plan is World War II. World War II is a major event in World History that had a significant effect on the world. Objectives •
Students will recognize the turning point in world history known as World War II.
•
Students will demonstrate their knowledge of geography.
•
Students will learn about different perspectives during the war.
•
Students will use technology and their use of oral communication to present their projects to their peers.

New York State Learning Standards The New York State Learning Standards addressed in this Unit Plan are as follows: Social Studies: Standard 2: World History Students will use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate their understanding of major ideas, eras, themes, developments, and turning points in world history and examine the broad sweep of history from a variety of perspectives. Social Studies: Standard 3: Geography Students will use a variety of intellectual skills to demonstrate their understanding of the geography of the interdependent world in which we live—local, national, and global— including the distribution of people, places, and environments over the Earth’s surface. English Language Arts: Standard 2: Language for Literary Response and Expression Students will read and listen to oral, written, and electronically produced texts and performances from American and world literature; relate texts and performances to their own lives; and develop an understanding of the diverse social, historical, and cultural dimensions the texts and performances represent. As speakers and writers, students will use oral and written language that follows accepted conventions of the English language for self-expression and artistic creation. English Language Arts: Standard 4: Language for Social Interaction Students will listen, speak, read, and write for social interaction. Students will use oral and written language that follows the accepted conventions of the English language for effective social communication with a wide variety of people. As readers and listeners, they will use the social communications of others to enrich their understanding of people and their views.

Mathematics, Science and Technology: Standard 5: Technology Students will apply technological knowledge and skills to design, construct, use, and evaluate products and systems to satisfy human and environmental needs. Strategy
Rationale Social Studies: Standard 2: World History is addressed throughout the entire project. Students will learn about a major era that took place in world history. The students will be using their text and the Internet to learn about the facts of WWII. Social Studies: Standard 3: Geography is addressed when the students research maps and world geography prior to and after WWII. ELA: Standard 2: Language for Literary Response and Expression is addressed when the students read excerpts from The Diary of Anne Frank. The students will also address this standard when they are creating their own journal entries.

ELA: Standard 4: Language for Social Interaction is addressed when the students need to use their language to interact with their peers during group work and their presentations. Mathematics, Science, and Technology: Standard 5: Technology is addressed when students learn to use power point in order to create their presentations. Content The students will be reading the chapters from their Social Studies text that covers World War II. The students will also be required to read The Diary of Anne Frank. The students will also use this website, http://www.edutopia.org/xtimeline-timeline-website. This is a great site that offers information on a free tool to create timelines. This takes a traditional timeline to a whole new level! Not only could you conduct research while using this tool you could embed photos and videos, edit, and engage in social collaboration. This website can also be used to create the timeline, http://www.teachnology.com/web_tools/materials/timelines/. The students will also use Power Point to create their group presentations. Student Preparation: Prior to beginning this project, the students will have the necessary information about WWII. Most of the chapters in their text will have been read as well as the Diary of Anne Frank. The students will have also already been assigned to keep a journal as they read the book. Motivation: Aside from receiving a great grade for their project, I believe that the use of technology will provide some motivation to the students. As their teacher, I will also provide encouragement throughout the duration of the project. The other motivating factor is the
Project Based Learning

fact that they get to present their presentations during The Veteran’s Day and Holocaust Remembrance Fair at school. Technology The students will use technology, specifically Power Point, to show off their group presentations. The students will also have access to the Internet to assist with research for their presentations. Throughout the Social Studies lessons on World War II, the instructor will also provide her own Power Point presentations to engage the students in learning and expose them to this technology and its uses. Student Product/Performance The school is hosting a Veteran’s Day/ Holocaust Remembrance Fair. The students will create a group presentation on Power Point that includes maps that they have created of Europe, prior to and after WWII, journal entry to and honor Anne Frank, and a timeline of important events during the War. The journal entries will give the group a chance to express their own thoughts and ideas. *Please see the section on the session-by-session lesson plan and a mock sample of student work that is attached for further details. Assessment In order to assess whether or not the students have learned anything from this project, there will be a test on their social studies chapter as well as a rubric used to help grade their projects. “Curriculum-based assessment (CBA) is an approach to linking instruction with assessment. CBA has three purposes: (1) to determine eligibility, (2) to develop goals for instruction, and (3) to evaluate the student’s progress in the curriculum” (Cohen and Spenciner 2011).

throughout each activity for the one student with a learning disability. This teacher has provided multiple methods of teaching the 6th grade class about WWII. A non-fiction novel and text are used for reading assignments. A visual power point presentation is utilized, not only for a novel way to present the material to the class, but to use the learning disability student’s strengths. This student is a visual thinker and does quite well when material is visually presented. The activity involving the map of Europe is completed with peers. Peer tutoring is an effective way to present material to a student with a mild learning disability. If needed, the instructor will provide the student with a learning disability a little more time to complete assignments and more one on one intervention.

Dear Mrs. Apple (covering teacher), Welcome to my 6th grade Social Studies class! I am sorry that I am leaving you with such a major project but I needed these 2 weeks off to get married. Yay! Attached are the lesson plans for each day with my students. I’ve also attached a sample of the PBL, that I’ve completed myself, in which the students can use as a model to assist them in completing the project. Please refer to my lesson book to see any notes that I’ve made in regards to specific students. As you will see from my notes that one of my students has a learning disability. I’ve attached a copy of her IEP. I’ve also assigned the children to groups already. Thank you for finishing the lesson on World War II and beginning the PBL for the World War II Veteran’s Day and Holocaust Remembrance Fair. Invitations have been sent to the families, Veteran’s from World War II, and Holocaust survivors and their families. Your help is greatly appreciated! Good Luck!
