COLLEGE OF EDUCATION, HEALTH AND REHABILITATION LESSON PLAN FORMAT**
 * UNIVERSITY OF MAINE AT FARMINGTON

__**Teacher’s Name**__ **:**  Mr. Boynton   __**Date of Lesson**__ **:**  2    Perspective __**Grade Level**__ **:**  11   __**Topic**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**:** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Cause of Appeasement

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Objectives**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Student will understand that** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Hitler was allowed to do as he wished with other countries because the bigger powers would consent to it as long as they got something in return <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Student will know** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">what appeasement was. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Student will be able to do** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">solve why no country would stop the illegal rebuilding of Germany's War Machine.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Maine Learning Results Alignment**__ //<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">- Grade 9-Diploma "Pre-World War II" ->Students understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the United States and world history,including roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and situations in the world. -> b. Analyze and Critique major historical eras, major enduring themes, turning points, events, consequences and people in the history of the United States and the world and the implications for the present and future //<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Rationale:** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Appeasement was a major factor in the start of the second world war. As a consequence to putting aside the problem with Hitler's expansionism, by the time someone decided to stand up to him he was too powerful to stop.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Assessment**__

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Formative (Assessment for Learning)** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">I will hand out a KWL sheet after the Appeasement activity. This will help prelude the work we are going to start looking at for appeasement. I will also have the students fill out a resource evaluation document to hand in to work in concert with their blog post.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Summative (Assessment of Learning)** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">100/1000- Students will go researching for links involving the people and events involving Appeasement. These sources can be used for a later project, it will also help me keep the Webquest updated. Students will need to defend these choices in blog posts. Students will need to come up with at least 2 sources to contribute.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Integration**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Technology:** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Students will use a wiki to gather sources about what Appeasement was and the major players involved. Students research will be Internet based for the most part.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Other Content Areas:** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> English: Students will need to write a persuasive blog post to defend the sources they came up with and why they are relevant to what we are learning.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Researching: Students will be gaining valuable knowledge and hands on experience in doing research on the Internet and finding good sources.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Groupings**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Students will be paired up by drawing pieces of paper out of a bag. Each will have a letter on it. Their partner will be the one with the matching letter.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Differentiated Instruction**__

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Verbal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get to write a persuasive blog post defending the sources that they picked. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Logical Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get a chance to think of and defend their choices for the class wikis. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Visual Spatial Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get a chance to try and find video resources that will help. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Musical Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> may be able to find sources that involve songs that deal with Appeasement. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Interpersonal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get the chance to collaborate with peers to create and work on the wiki. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Intrapersonal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will work on their own if they wish to help find sources for the wiki.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Modifications/Accommodations** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> I will review student's IEP, 504, or ELL/DEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

**<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Absent Students **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Absent Students: If students are going to miss class they or their guardian should make an attempt to email/call me in advance. If it is a simple one day illness, work will be due the next class you attend. In the event of family emergencies please meet (email tag is good enough) to try and find out how the student will make up the assignment. Students will most likely end up doing it for homework.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**Extensions** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Students will be searching for resources and sources on the people and events and ideas around Appeasement. Students will then be placing the sources on a class wikispace and defending these choices in a blogger post. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Materials, Resources and Technology**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Materials: Computers, laptops or otherwise Internet Access A Working Word Processor Handouts for class <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Blogger Account <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Wikispaces Account
 * Work in Progress

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Source for Lesson Plan and Research**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Students will be looking for their own sources, but they will have to defend them. __[|Wikispaces tutorial-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J6Vo3JJB7uQ]__ __[|Blogger Tutorial-> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ryb4VPSmKuo]__

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Rationale:**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">"Beach Ball" learners will get a chance to go across the Internet to find sources. This project could be a little rough on "Clipboard" learners but they will get a chance to put their ideas down on "paper" in the form of a blog. "Microscope" learners will get a chance to go digging for information and learning more about this new subject. "Puppy Dog" learners will get any support they need from me during the duration of the project, I will make sure that they have some idea of what they need to do but I want to see what everyone can come up with.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Rationale:**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Students will be introduced to the subject of Appeasement. One that I could put money down none of them have heard about, but it gives then an important perspective on the world that allowed the Great War to happen. Most courses on history don't get that far and those that do skate over Appeasement and head straight into World War II. It is an important part of the story because if the Treaty of Versailles was followed then Germany never should have been able to rise up to a level that it could make war. Instead they were able to wheel and deal to a point where they almost took over the whole of Europe.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Rationale:**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Verbal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get to write a persuasive blog post defending the sources that they picked. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Logical Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get a chance to think of and defend their choices for the class wikis. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Visual Spatial Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get a chance to find sources that appeal to them. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Musical Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> may be able to find sources that involve songs that deal with Appeasement. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Interpersonal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will get the chance to collaborate with peers to create and work on the wiki. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> **Intrapersonal Learners** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> will work on their own if they wish to help find sources for the wiki.

Technology- Students will use a wiki to gather sources about what Appeasement was and the major players involved. Students research will be Internet based for the most part.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">//**Rationale:**// <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Informal: I will be bouncing around the room while students are doing their research asking questions and seeing if they are doing what's important. Students will also have to fill out a KWL sheet before starting this project.

Formal: I will be using students blog posts an an indicator of whether or not each source is relevant and also if they managed to get their feet wet on the topic of Appeasement, one that is usually skated over in history or untouched. Students will also need to hand in a completed resource evaluation sheet.

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Teaching and Learning Sequence**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">**:** <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">The classroom will be set up with the desks in pairs. Students will file in and find their seats. The students will later move around according to who their partners are for the project. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Pre-class/Homework: Set up Blogger and Wikispaces accounts <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">5 minutes- Hook <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">5 minutes- Find partners <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">10-Hand outs and talking about what's a good source <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Remaining 60 Minutes: Researching sources about Appeasement and posting to the class wiki and making blog posts about them. <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Homework: Finish up if necessary <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> Students will be digging up sources that will attempt to solve why countries resorted to Appeasement. Students will learn about why we need to be wary of certain countries gaining comparable military power. Examples being Iran and North Korea, two countries who if given nuclear weapons would most likely try to use them. //<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Analyze and Critique events and consequences in the history of the United States and the world and the implications for the present and future //**<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">. **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;"> My hook will be the use of a clip from Robot Chicken featuring "Lil Hitler" who keeps asking the teacher for more desks because his is "too small" the teacher says no, but he does it anyway until he has the entire room to himself, minus the American kid. **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">(Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailors: Intrapersonal, Visual,) **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

The first five minutes will be dedicated to the hook and introducing just what Appeasement is. Students will then take the next 5 minutes to pick letters out of a bag and find their partners and move to a new spot. In the next 10 minutes, I will hand out two resource evaluation documents and give them a brief idea of what a good source is and what to look out for. The rest of class will be dedicated to researching sources about Appeasement and posting them on the class wiki. Students afterwards will then have to make blog post about what they posted for sources and why, going partially in depth about what the subject of the source is and why it is important. **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailoring: (Interpersonal, Visual, Logical, Bodily/Kinesthetic) **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

Students will explore Hitler's violations of the Treaty of Versaillies and the responses or lack there of that resulted from it. Students will also get a look at the major players during this period. Students will take these sources and collaborate on the class wiki to bring them together, I can see who did what using the History feature. Students will also need to defend their contributions through the use of blogs and fill out the resource evaluation documents together. **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailoring: (Verbal, Interpersonal, Visual, Logical, Kinesthetic) **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

I will check the sources and read the blog posts to see what the students came up with. This will give me a good base on what the students have learned and possible gotten some sources that will help with the WebQuest later on. This will give students a strong base for when they go in depth later with said WebQuest. I will also have the resource evaluation documents to look over and return along with the blog posts. **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Evaluate, Tailors: (Logical, Intrapersonal, Verbal) **<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">

<span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">__**Content Notes**__ <span style="font-family: Times New Roman,serif;">Appeasement the process of letting someone get what in order to avoid a conflict. This was used extensively by British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain. In a sense trading German Chancellor/Fuhrer Adolph Hitler's aggressions and land grabs for less restrictions on their end of the Treaty of Versailles. Unfortunately, Hitler's country was out of the Great Depression first and had a stronger economy that could support a war and war production. When France and Britain decided to finally stand up to Hitler he was way to strong. Dooming the world to a second world war.

Hitler's territorial grabs -> Czechoslovakia, Austria, The Rhineland, Poland
