Tuesday Lesson Plan Ela A10
Tuesday Lesson Plan Ela A10
Overview of Lesson:
5-10 minutes: Begin by posing questions to the class (what is
multiculturalism? What are stereotypes? How do they relate?)
Hope is to activate prior knowledge. What do students know
about the topics?
15 minutes: Students will work alone on a handout sheet. They
will be asked about common stereotypes they have heard about
multiple ethnic groups. Where did they hear them? What are the
stereotypes? And why do you think these stereotypes exist?
Once students have a chance to fill out this chart individually
they can work on two simple questions before moving onto the
class discussion. What can we do to change these stereotypes?
Can you think of any instance where stereotypes have affected
you or someone you know?
10min: Once students have had a chance to fill out the sheet we
will move into a class discussion. I will talk about negative and
positive stereotypes and ask students if they noticed specific
groups had more of one then the other. They will not be asked
about specific groups, just why they think certain groups might
have more of a certain stereotype then other groups. Do they
think media affects how they view certain groups? Ask them if
anyone wants to share what they found.
10min: Students will have a chance to fill out an exit slip. They
will be asked to summarize if they learned anything new today
about stereotypes and where they come from. Do they feel
different about them then they did before?
Outcomes:
Materials:
Handout with questions on it.
Marker for the white board.
Activities and Procedures:
Overview/Agenda/Review/Introduction: This lesson is an
introduction to a new topic, host teacher will briefly wrap up the
last subject they focused on before I take over for the rest of
class and introduce them to their new topic within short-stories.
Subject Content and Teaching Strategies: The subject content
focuses on students exploring the power of both positive and
negative stereotypes and how they affect those they are about.
It will be used as an introduction method to both prose and
poetry by authors of a multicultural background. Teaching
strategies used will be: activating prior knowledge, and group
discussion.
Consolidation: Students knowledge about stereotypes is
strengthened by discussing how they are formed. I will use my
aboriginal background to reinforce that we can assume things
about people. I will also pose the question about location and
how our experience may influence stereotypes we hear and
believe.
Assessment:
Students will be informally assessed. I will pay attention for
participation and student comments. I hope to see students
actively involved, even if they are not directly speaking to me.
