1. Societies are shaped by beliefs, idea, and diversity.
2. Societies experience continuity and change over time.
3. Relationships between people, place, idea, and environments are dynamic.
Teaching/Instructional Process:
-
First they will fill out a pyramid ranking each of the following; students, principals, teachers, student council, office staff, and assistant principal and have them put a short sentence on why they put them there.
-
Second we will discuss what they put in each section of the pyramid and why. I will write them on a projector that projects it on to the big screen.
-
Third we read a short section from the text book about the social classes of Ancient Egypt.
-
Lastely we finished reading the students and their groups filled out the Ancient Egypt Pyramid by social class rank, draw a symbol that represents that social class, and a short sentence on how the symbol represents that social class.
-
Guided Practice/Monitoring:
If they have all the proper Egyptian classes in the correct rank on the pyramid. Also, if the symbol and short sentence makes sense and correlates to the social class.
Closure:
To wrap up the lesson I will discuss each social class and why they are placed where they are on the pyramid and ask the students about their symbols and why they drew that particular symbol. This will lead into another lesson that goes more in depth about each social class including the classes’ daily routine and why they are placed where they are on the pyramid.
Independent Practice/Collaboration:
This will be a collaborative lesson because the beginning of the lesson is just for fun and for them to guess where each part of the school staff/students will go on a pyramid. Also we read the section as a group in class and then they will fill out the Ancient Egyptian pyramid in their groups. This lesson was just to get the main idea of the social pyramid and social classes before they go more depth with each class so I decided it should be a fun, collaborative activity.
Technology Integration:
When discussing both pyramids I will use a projector with an empty pyramid on it to write down what some of the students wrote down on their papers. This will help them see what other students think and for them to add to their pyramid.
