assignment 1- hematic Unit – Day One: Integrating Dance and Theater Arts, Social Studies, and ELA Instruction

Movement and drama support all learners and help young children be creative using their whole bodies. Movement and drama can also support the physical development of young children and increase their engagement in the instruction.

For this assignment, begin to develop a cross-curricular unit plan using the “3 Day Unit Plan” template.” Based on the standards and objectives from the “Unit Plan Outline” you created in Topic 2, develop the Day 1 lesson of the unit that integrates dance and/or theater arts throughout the lesson. Your lesson should include the following:

Title of Unit and Brief Summary: Explain your selected theme (from your Unit Plan Outline) and create a title and a brief summary for your first lesson. You will complete the other lesson titles and summaries in future assignments.

Classroom and Student Factors/Grouping: Summarize the classroom and student factors based on the class profile you created with your mentor teacher.

National/State Learning Standards: From Day 1 of your “Unit Plan Outline.”

Specific Learning Targets/Objectives: Aligned to the ELA, social studies, dance, and/or theater arts standards.

Academic Language: Key terms for this lesson.

Unit Resources, Materials, Equipment, and Technology needed for this lesson.

Depth of Knowledge Lesson Questions: One developmentally appropriate question for each level of understanding.

Anticipatory Set: Explain how you will introduce the lesson and activate prior knowledge.

Multiple Means of Representation: Explain how you will present content that integrates ELA, social studies, and dance and/or theater arts to meet the needs of all learners.*

Multiple Means of Engagement: Describe learning activities for students to explore, practice, and apply the content through ELA, social studies, and dance and/or theater arts.*

Multiple Means of Expression: Describe assessment methods that integrate ELA, social studies, and dance and/or theater arts.*

Extension Activity and/or Homework

*NOTE: Differentiation for all sections will be completed in a future topic.

Support this lesson of the unit plan with 1-2 scholarly resources.

While APA Style is not required for the body of this assignment, solid academic writing is expected, and documentation of sources should be presented using APA formatting guidelines, which can be found in the APA Style Guide, located in the Student Success Center.

assignment 2- Clinical Field Experience D: Integrating the Arts into Core Content Areas

Arts integration can support academic and social-emotional development in young children. They have the opportunity to use all five senses and different parts of their brain which helps with creating connections and recalling important information.

Allocate at least 5 hours in the field to support this field experience.

Collaborate with your mentor teacher to plan an art activity to be implemented with a small group of students or the whole class. This activity should support either an ELA or social studies standard that is being taught in the class.

Implement the activity with a group of students or the whole class. Take anecdotal notes focusing on the following:

Describe the engagement level of the students and their response to the activity.

Explain how students make the connection between the activity and the standard.

Explain your process for supporting students who needed extra support.

Following the implementation of the activity, debrief with your mentor teacher and get feedback on the activity implementation and engagement of students.

Use the remaining field experience hours to assist the teacher in providing instruction and support to the class.

After the debrief with your mentor teacher, write a 150-250 word reflection on the following:

Summarize the activity and the process of planning the activity with your mentor teacher.

Explain how the implementation went and what you gleaned from your anecdotal notes.

Summarize the debrief with your mentor teacher and the feedback you received.

Include your conclusions from the experiences, and how you can apply what you learned toward your future practice as a teacher.

Students can also create visual art to demonstrate their learning or interpretation of a concept.

For this assignment, complete Day 2 of your “3 Day Unit Plan” by creating a cross-curricular lesson plan that integrates ELA and social studies with visual arts. The lesson will be based on the standard from Day 2 of the “Unit Plan Outline” created in Topic 2. Your lesson should include the following:
