I. RATIONALE:
This lesson explores World War 2 and the Great Depression and lets students see history through the lenses of integrated content: math, literacy, art, and technology. It aligns with the Arizona State Standards with Concept 8: Great Depression and World War II 1929-1945: Domestic and world events, economic issues, and political conflicts, redefined the role of government in the lives of US citizens.  

II. OVERVIEW
Grade Level: 4th
Subject(s):Social Studies, Integrated with: Math, Literacy, Art, Technology
Topic of Study: Great Depression and World War II
Time Allotment: 2 hours
Standards:
PO 1. Describe changes in the lives of US and Arizona residents during the Great Depression

PO 4. Describe how lives were affected during World War 2 (limited goods, women worked in factorie, increased patriotism)

Objectives: Describe how World War 2 affected our lives through making an advertisement poster that reflects one of these topics (poverty, unemployment, limited goods, women working in factories, loss of homes or businesses, patriotism) in more detail.

III. IMPLEMENTATION
Procedure:
  1. Teacher will go over objectives and standards through the powerpoint presentation. By using a Kahoot pre assessment quiz, the teacher can see the students’ prior knowledge and see how the content can be progressed throughout the future lessons. The teacher will also show the students the various student led centers and expectations at each center of subject integration. The teacher will go over any questions the students have, while also pointing out citing sources for any ideas or pictures or videos the students use in their assessment. Finally, the teacher will go over the assessment and the standards and expectations for the online advertisement poster reflecting a central theme of the WW2 standards, as well as a personal reflection on the google docs form.
Technology Integration: (Describe how students and the teacher will use technology throughout the lesson)
Technology is utilized throughout this lesson from teacher directions in a powerpoint, to a pre assessment Kahoot interactive technology quiz, to an assessment involving technology and digital-age use.
Differentiated Instruction: Describe how you will differentiate the instruction for each of the following:
  • Cognitive delay: For students who need differentiation for reading, various reading levels in books will be provided in the literacy center. Many grade levels books will be provided for students to read, so their needs can be met. For the timelines, students have options to work in pairs so they can get assistance with a student which can be a peer tutor to help. In the math center, the activity can be adapted from instead of fractions to either multiplication or addition, etc.
  • Gifted: Advanced grade level books are provided for the literacy center in the gifted students. Gifted students can also be challenged afterwards by being given a book report after they finish their book.
  • ELL: The timeline will be offered to work in pairs so they can gain more assistance in gaining knowledge content. Some books in literacy will also be offered in multiple languages.

IV. ASSESSMENT
Procedure:
Assessment will be conducted through an online google draw form where students will demonstrate their understanding of the central themes of WW2 and Great Depression (limited goods, women worked in factorie, increased patriotism, poverty, loss of homes, migration.) Once the student completes their advertisement/poster they will write a personal reflection on google docs form and share both final results with the teacher. Instruments used are: google draw and google docs. Students will also utilize the internet in research for pictures and advertisements for inspiration in their own creations. Assessment will be a summative process so the teacher can see where the student's knowledge in content is at and then can guide instruction to where students need more intervention.
