Teaching Assignment

Chapter 19


Teaching Assignment

You will be asked to “teach” one section of the assigned chapter to the class. Your criteria for this assignment is as follows:

 You will choose your own groups. Choose wisely – pick students that you know you can work well with. If there are any issues choosing groups, I will make the groups for you.



 I will assign each group a section.



 You must create notes for this chapter and deliver them to the class. Format: Slideshow ( I will need to have both a hard and an electronic copy). You may also create a fill-in-the-blanks notes copy for students to fill in, or if you feel that this does not leave you enough time for other activities, then I will make copies of your slideshow for the class.



 You must develop an activity or activities that will reinforce the material within your section (trivia, questions, group work, hands-on activity, games….be creative!!)



 You must create a “History Folder Assignment” to reinforce some aspect of the material. Be creative. This assignment will be evaluated with the other folder assignments during the final exam.



 You must create a short assessment which tests the students’ knowledge (you must provide me with a hard copy as well as an answer key/rubric). You will be responsible for marking this assessment (it will be worth marks!). This must be TYPED.



 Each student should be involved in the “teaching” of the section. Students will evaluate their group members for their contributions.



 You will be responsible for teaching the entire 80 minute period. You will be evaluated on your knowledge, lesson content, delivery, variety of activities, creativity, and use of time.



 Your mark will based on:



o My evaluation of your lesson

o Group members’ evaluation

o Class evaluation of lesson
