Standard I: Classroom Contextual Factors (DM1)- Narrativesuggested length.


1. Demographics: Identify the gender, ethnicity, language
proficiency, exceptionalities, and number of students.
a. Students:

Total #__31____
Females:__15___

b. Ethnicity: White: ___26___


African American:__0____
Asian: ____0__
Other:polynesian-2__

Males: __16____
Hispanic/Mexican: ___3__
Native American:__0_____

3. Language Proficiency: Identify the number of English Language


Learners and languages in your classroom.
1 ELL He had moved from Mexico as a child, but he is proficient and
is able to keep up with the class.
4. Exceptionalities: Identify the number and type of exceptionalities
in the class.
ELL: 2
Behavior: 1
Poor work ethic (not wanting to work): 3
5. Social Economic Status (SES)
Most of the students in the class are around the middle class
status. Some are on the lower end of the status. Most students have
both parents in the home, or grandparents. I am unsure if any qualified
for free lunch.
6. Academic Knowledge (If available): Describe the academic data
results of the students thus far (grades, attendance, discipline factors,
core tests.)
There is a fairly high standard set in my class for grades. There is
ample opportunities to improve students grades throughout the
semester. It seems as though the majority of the students are at a, b
minus or above. Those that are below that standard are those that seem
3 | Page

to either just do enough work to get by, or they do not want to work at
all. For those that refuse to work, the majority of them do not show up
to class on a consistent basis. There has not been a severe need for
disciplining the students, verbal warning have been enough to set the
class or student straight.
7. English Language Learners: Describe ways you can incorporate
tools of language development and reading content into planning and
instruction for these students. Example: ELED- SIOP/ WIDA; SCEDreading content.
We use the textbooks almost every day in our classes. We focus on
vocabulary as well as reading comprehension. My students learn to
read for conceptual ideas in order to find a better understanding of
broad topics.
8. Multicultural Perspectives: Identify ways you can use culturally
responsive curricula and teaching that meets the needs of all students.
Being in the subject of history, it uniquely allows me to touch on
several different cultures and how these events effected multi-cultural
students personally. By incorporating the history of everyones culture
it should allow the students and I to understand different aspects and
effects that cultures can have in modern society. It will also give those
students a chance to educate others about their cultures.
9. Prior Knowledge: Elementary-Describe the criteria used to
determine the reading and mathematics prior knowledge and give a
percentage of the number of students in these different levels for
reading and mathematics such as Below, Basic, or Advanced.
Secondary- Review the prior knowledge needed of students to be
successful in learning the content knowledge for the TWS unit and
how you will implement content reading into your unit (Ex. Common
Core Strategies, etc.).
By looking at the UEN website and understanding what knowledge
should be being brought to the classroom from previous history
classes is very helpful. This allows us to understand where the
4 | Page

students baseline knowledge is residing. I would also use a daily bell


work to help refresh and assess whether or not the students were
understanding the content being presented to them in previous classes.
10. Exceptionalities: Describe student exceptionalities that are
identified in the class contextual factors. These exceptionalities can
include; (a) development of physical, social, and emotional needs; (b)
special education; (c) ethnicity; (d) gifted/talented; (e) ability
differences, etc. Briefly describe ways to make modification/
differentiation for planning, instruction, and assessments.
The ELL students I have in this class are from vastly different
backgrounds. One has a Hispanic background and the other a Samoan.
Both are far enough in the schooling that they have been able to reach
a great point where they are understanding most everything presented.
I rarely have to modify my lessons for their understanding, but
sometimes I will have to help with some vocabulary words which are
more conducive to American culture. There isnt a huge divide in
ability throughout my classes. I attribute this to the plethora of AP
classes. Most of the gifted and talented students are enrolled into these
classes. My modifications usually consist of allowing late work,
especially for certain individuals, allowing extra time to complete in
class assignments, and extra test taking time.
10. Identify sub-groups of students: Based on your contextual class
factors- identify the sub-groups you will need to address in
differentiation/modifications for your instruction, assessments, and
analysis of student learning (e.g., gender, ELL, special education,
ethnicity, gifted/talented, ability differences, or other contextual
factors listed above, etc.) Subgroup data will be compared to each
subgroup and the whole class.
The subgroups are the ELL students, and the lack of effort students.
One thing that could help these students is to incorporate some small
group work where everyone is assigned an individual part. This way
they are part of a team and are being relied upon in order for the group
to succeed.

Step 1 DESIRED RESULTS


A. Contextual Factors
My class has 29 students and of those 31 students 26 of them are
Caucasian. Of the remaining five students I have 3 Hispanic students,
and two Polynesian students.
There are 16 male students and 15 female students
Two students have health issues, three students are ELL students and
one of those two has an IEP as well.
The majority of the students seem to arrive on time to class while
some seem to have confusion on whether it is a late start day, which
occurs every so often on a Tuesday.
The class average is just above a 79% average, those that are failing
are doing so due to lack of care or effort.
The environment is well behaved, probably due to this being a
morning class. Students are offered chance to work in groups, but
often just work alone. It seems as though everyone is still waking up.
B. Utah State Core or Common Core Curriculum Standard
Standard 7: Students will understand how the Great Depression
and the New Deal affected the United States
Objective 1: Investigate the impact of the Great Depression on the
United States.
A. Analyze the major causes of the Great Depression
6 | Page

B. Examine the social effects of the Great Depression


Objective 2: Analyze the long-term effects of the New Deal on the
United States
A. Explore the purposes and effectiveness of the New Deal; e.g.,
presidency, economics, politics
B. Investigate the shift of power from state to federal government.
C. Enduring Understanding/ Big Idea
An in-depth look at the affects the Great Depression had on Americas
economy and landscape, and the development of a larger federal
government.
D. Essential Questions/Guiding Questions
How did the stock market crash lead to an even bigger crash of the
U.S. economy?
How did the Great depression affect the landscape of our nations
larger cities? (I.E. New York, Chicago, Washington D.C.)
How did the government help/ hurt the Great Depression?
How does the governments role in providing more support for our
nations citizens lead to a bigger federal government influence later
on?
E. Concepts
Students will need to know why the stock market crash happened and
the causes that let that event effect so many other aspects if the nation.
Students will understand the effects that Great Depression had on
farmers, Banks, Stock Brokers and everyday citizens alike.
Students will discover the inventions of the era and there profound
effect on the Nation as a whole.
Students will understand the effects of the federal government and the
role they played in rebuilding the nations economy.

F. Skills
After this unit is taught students should be able to recognize the
7 | Page

important events of the era.


Students should also be able to recognize the impact that these events
will have on future events, peoples, and nations.
Students should as well grasp concepts of the time in order to
understand the reasons for these events.
Step 2 ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
1. Pre-Assessments
Students will take a pretest to assess their current knowledge of the
subject matter that is about to be taught.
Questions will assess a basic general understanding of the historical
time period, and the important events that take place throughout that
era.
2. Formative Assessments/Evidence
Students will have a study guide to fill out throughout the Unit. As
certain key points are covered random quizzes will be administered.
These quizzes will assess the students understanding of the material
that has just been covered.
With these assessments we will be able to address areas of concern.
3. Summative Assessments/Evidence
Students will take end of unit tests which will be given in several
different formats as to assess an overall understanding of the material
being taught. (Multiple Choice, True or False, Short Answer, Essay.)
Students will be given a grade out of 100 possible points it will be
worth ten percent of final semester grade.

Reflection
Overall the lesson was a success, there were a few things I would change. I would slow the pace of my power
point down. As I go through it so fast it doesnt give the slower students an opportunity to really soak in what
is being taught. They are too busy trying to just keep up with the notes. Also I would find a way to make sure
that both students in the group work are participating equally. If I could make sure to do those two things in
the future it would much more helpful in making the lesson go smoother.

Reflection
This lesson was more successful than the first one. I believe I was more prepared and
knew more about the content this time. I also felt as if I slowed the pace of the lesson
down quite a bit. The discussion went so well because there were several students who
are farmers or have farmed in the class, this allow me to associate the lesson to their
everyday lives. I still need to extend my lectures and find better ways to intrigue the
students as a group.

I loved the interaction I was able to attain with this lesson. When the subject of banks
and money was brought up the students became very attentive. This lesson was very
easy to relate to the students because we have banks today and the thought of them
closing is scary. The lesson was sidetracked several times and it was somewhat difficult
to bring it back to where it needed to be. I think it was a good side track though, it kept
the students involved in the lesson.

was really frustrated by the end of the particular lesson because the lesson had gone so well the day before. I
really didnt do much different if anything I thought it was presented better, but I will just blame the holiday
and go with that. Im not sure why else it wouldve been so dull.

The environment is well behaved, probably due to this being a morning class. Students are offered
chance to work in groups, but often just work alone. It seems as though everyone is still waking up.

Reflection
The students started to bore of this topic very quickly Im beginning to think that I should have combined the
last two lessons in order to not be stuck in a lull. These New Deal policies are all just one big Alphabet soup
and they can be very confusing and boring when that is all that is talked about. This part of the section is hard
to test on as well will all of the acronyms. I may just do an essay potion on the test to cover these sections that
way I can tell if they will be able to understand the material.
