BCDL+LESSON+PLAN!!!

Instructors: Lauren, Dovile, Connor, and Brandon Date: April, 2009 Class name: Jokers Italian Beauty Objective: Students will be introduced to the culture of Italian beauty. Rationale: The students need to learn this brief introduction to Italian beauty because throughout their lives they will be introduced and discover many different cultures and concepts of true beauty. When the students see some history of Italian beauty and what they view as beautiful today, they will remember that different cultures have different perspectives on subjects such as beauty. Lesson Content: During this lesson the students will be introduced to Italy and what they think is beautiful. They will learn about the different clothes they wear, popular runway fashions. They will also learn about some of the ingredients of past perfumes and cosmetics, and how they were made. These will be ways to introduce the students to Italy’s different concepts of true beauty. Anticipatory Set: When the students enter the classroom there will be a “Do Now” on the board to put their books under their desks, get out a piece of paper and a writing utensil, and face the smart board. The instructors will be standing in front of the smart board and will be ready to give the students a short lecture on Italian beauty along with a slideshow. 1. Teaching Procedures: In class there will be a power point, along with a lecture on Italian beauty and fashion. Following the presentation the students will be required to complete a worksheet with their same groups as their research projects. After the worksheet they will play a game and answer questions using the facts learned on Italian beauty. 2. Formative Check: We will be able to check if the students got the most out of the lesson by the participation and their answers in the game. 3. Student Participation: We will get the students to participate by having them work with their classmates to complete a worksheet on Italian beauty. They will also be participating in a game with the entire class. 4. Closure: We will end our lesson with a game where the students will have to answer questions based on facts that they learned in the lesson.

Evaluation Procedures: We will measure the outcomes of our lesson by viewing the student’s homework.
