ETEC 512 gave me the opportunity to revamp an old lesson plan, sort of like a rematch against a cross two rival in basketball. I choose a lesson that I had created during as a student teacher during my PDP. I found one that I remembered being happy with when I originally made and taught it. However when looking at it again I could see that it needed a lot of work and updating. I consulted several learning theories to update my lesson, I also updated the lesson plan to take better advantage of the digital technology that is more readily available today. I very much enjoyed the opportunity to do this, as I said in a previous post I quite miss lesson planning and I enjoyed completing this project. I am also proud of the final product, my only negative is that because of my position in student services I will not be using this lesson. I sincerely hope that some does!

Abstract:
It is a two class lesson plan on the effects of World War One on Canadians at home, designed to be used in a high school social studies class. Student are responsible for visiting six different stations and completing an individual blog post reflecting on what they have learnt. While they will be completing their own blogs, they are strongly encouraged to work in groups to complete all the tasks. There will also be Twitter Questions at each of the stations.  

This lesson is available to view and use on my school blog.
