Reflect & Connect 2/2

Dear Questioners,

I am very excited to inform you that I will be making a lesson plan for my Instructional Planning class and a unit plan in Teaching K-6 Social Studies class.  I have chosen the CCSS, "SS.2.G.1.2
Using maps and globes, locate the student's hometown, Florida, and North America, and locate the state capital and the national capital," for my Instruction Planning class. I chose this standard because I want to create lesson plans for my internship I have with second grade. It is a social studies standard because I only get one K-6 Social Studies class while I am earning my Elementary Education degree at USF. So far it has been difficult for me to create essential questions for my lesson and connect them to the six facets of understanding. The six facets of understanding include, explanation, interpretation, application, perspective, empathy, and self-knowledge. As I continue to learn from my professor and intern experience I hope to be the best at creating essential questions for my lessons. I feel as if they are the heart of the lesson because it shows the class the lesson purpose. I want to be able to connect my essential questions to their life outside of school.

As soon as I have my essential questions complete I will post them here for you all to see!
Feel free to leave comments. :)

Sincerely,

Miss Hester
