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
