MI Plan # 5
Jon Lutgen, ED 381 Grade: 10-12th
General Aim: Students will learn the importance of
accepting responsibility for themselves. Objectives: 1. Students will investigate the importance of accepting responsibility. 2. Students will reflect on the value of self-awareness, how it affects their interaction with in the family. 3. Students will develop strategies for accepting responsibility. 4. Students will explore different cultures to help formulate their own concept of self-awareness and responsibility in reference to their own world. Procedures: The students will
divide into small groups for the length of this project and the teacher will
give them one book to read, Siddharatha, asking them to read it in
reference to the theme of self-awareness. They are put themselves in the shoes
of the main character and relate the story in terms of their life. While they
are reading the one book outside of class they will be listening to The Giver, a
book on tape, during class and will be asked to compare it to the one they are
reading.
Students will
discuss the social, emotional, intellectual and moral/spiritual aspects of the
books as it applies to self-awareness and acceptance of responsibility. They
will compare and contrast the two books bringing them into the context of their
world. They will reflect on the meaning of the two different stories. They will
relate to the group what the books meant to them, putting it into a more
personal relative context. Students will
interview someone they feel has a good awareness of who they are and models
self-awareness and assurance in their daily life. This person will be a good
example of one who accepts responsibility for their existence. They will develop
a written portrait of the person describing their interpretations of the
person's qualities and why they feel these are good qualities to have. Students will keep
a personal journal describing their interpretation of the books. They will
reflect on how the story relates to them. They will explore the concept of
self-awareness and what it means. They will talk about how they are or are not
accepting responsibility for themselves and what it means to their family.
Students will be
asked to close their eyes and relax during the listening of the book on tape.
They will be instructed to visualize the setting, the environment around the
setting, and the characters in the story. They are to put themselves in place of
one of the characters in the book, they choose the character, and become that
character. They will later talk about the their picture of the setting and of
the character they became. Students will
analyze both books thinking about how critical reasoning and logical thinking
was entwined in the stories. They will list examples of what they see as logical
reasoning and compare their thinking with the group citing similarities and
differences. They will learn to understand that there are many ways to interpret
responsibility and self-awareness. The group will come to a consensus as to the
criteria for accepting responsibility for themselves and come to understand
their own self-awareness. |
