LESSON PLAN PRACTICE – BE CREATIVE!

You are the site director for an after school program. In preparation for your staff meeting you will need to:

1. Select a theme for the week.
2. Prepare 3 lesson plans that have activities spanning across multiple days. Attach links, descriptions or directions to the activities so that we understand what the activity is. (Use the lesson plan template provided).

3. Lesson plans should address different key learning areas, age appropriate (state what age), address Florida benchmarks and standards. Incorporate a multi-cultural and anti-bias approach to activities. Refer to Section 3 of the Links to Learning Curriculum Planning Basics.

Post one of your lesson plans as an attachment. In your post share why you chose the theme and how you planned the activities to span over multiple days.

Respond / give feedback to at least one classmate.

Student’s post that needs a response: (plus attached lesson plan from this student)

I did a week of foods from other areas of the world and other cultures. I decided on this idea for a few reasons. My aunt was born in Africa, my grandfather was stationed there in the Army, she lived in Africa until she was in her teens and she loved it. When I was in elementary school she would come to the school one day each grade I was in and bring in some dishes and slides to share. I enjoyed it year after year and the other students did as well. I also decided it would be a good idea as there is more to learn from it than I can even list. By having to do some of the cooking measurements are required and math, there is history of places involved like one day I had planned out, but not on the sheet that is downloaded, is Taco Tuesday, learning that tacos came to the United States in 1905 and how they got introduced here. There obviously will be a lot of learning about how other places are as well as other cultures in general, I thought having a poster board with bright colorful paper cutouts with fun facts, as well as playing some games or sports, that can be the exercise part. The activity I mentioned with pretending to have a budget and needing to get specific items helps with life skills, math, problem solving, plus raises awareness to that some of us daily live on a budget and need to get a list of stuff for what seems like not enough money. Having some decor set up will help the students to get a feel of being there and see how things look where we are learning about. I did think about allergies as well as gluten intolerance. I will assess that and see what if anything is needed to fit everyone’s needs. Also will be sure any children with disabilities can participate and have the full experience safely. I think food brings people together, I feel it would be an overall educational, fun learning experience and great for peer interaction and maybe some youth will have a better understanding of other youth in the program or even in school.

The Reflective ePortfolio Paper is based on information from Chapter 12 in your
textbook and the work you have accumulated this semester in your ePortfolio. Your
ePortfolio will be an accumulation of your discussions, and weekly postings
associated with each chapter. In Ritter, Graham, (2017), Multicultural Health, 2nd Ed,
Chapter 12, Nonethnic Cultures, specifically deals with the Cultures of Disability. Your
assignment is to use the information you have already learned from this course, and
construct a paper providing a solution to this culture’s dilemma. Considerations for
Health Promotion Planning for People with Disabilities’ (p. 276) section of the textbook
will provide you with the dilemma. Here are some additional information guidelines for
writing your reflective paper.
1. Read both chapter 12 and 13 before you start writing your paper.
2. Identify two (2) different cultures (groups) from the information in chapter 12. One group
should be from the information about the LGBT community, and the other should be from
the information about persons with disabilities. Identify the specific issues (problems) in
each culture faces. You will not have the same identical problems in both cultures.
However, there may be some issues both cultures face that are similar, but each culture
(group) will also have separate issues that are also very important to them.
3. These are two separate groups with half the paper (4 pages) dedicated to each group
separately.
4. Then, based on the problems each group faces with discrimination, and/or the isolation,
lack of resources, and a lack of accessible opportunities, you should develop an idea to
help provide them with better access into the healthcare system. Your idea for each of
these groups, if implemented, could/should/would make a significant difference in their
access to healthcare.
5. Then your challenge is to set up an initiative (plan/program) to combat the problems
you’ve identified in each of these two cultures. Remember these are things you would do!
Do not depend solely on any other group, government or private organization, or agency
to help you in this project. This is what you, and anyone you can convince to help you,
could/would do to help individuals within these two groups. Every idea starts small; you
have to first identify how you could identify, reach, and engage these individuals in a
dialog. Then how would you develop a program to assist them, and finally how would
you administer this program. This should be personal for you, it will require you desire
to help these individuals within both of these cultures, and that you to find reliable
reasonable resources to use as part of your program. Each of the two cultures is

addressed separately (4 pages each); so you will have two completely different groups,
problems they face, goals for addressing those problems, your idea to facilitate change,
and how you will acquire resources, and implement those goals.
6. Using the information in Chapter 13, (pg. 292) set up you goals. Then develop each
goal, by providing information on how these goals can be achieved / reached.
Remember, throughout this text is information on how similar situations have been
addressed. You may also use a reliable source of information such as a professional
website, journals, or another text. Be sure you use correctly formatted citations and
references. This is done to provide the readers with enough information they will be able
locate where you got your information, and to prevent you plagiarizing another author’s
work.

Chapter 10 Questions:

1. When you think of tabletop activities for young children, what activities come to mind? Manipulatives? Puzzles? Cooking? Art and sensory activities? One of the most common tabletop activities in preschool programs is making creations with play dough. Children of all ages enjoy this activity. Watch this video to discover how one teacher uses play dough to encourage many different learning concepts with toddlers.Identify the developmental skills that toddlers are learning as they create with the play dough.

2. This teacher uses the mini script of building a bird’s nest to teach many learning concepts, including representational skills. Children with disabilities might have difficulty understanding that the play dough can represent a real object. What concrete objects, materials, or activities could you add to this experience to help children with disabilities make a connection between real and representational objects?

Chapter 14 Questions

1. Have you ever been involved in a parent/teacher meeting? Were you the parent? Teacher? Student? Regardless of your role, participating and partnering with a school team requires trust, respect, and collaboration. This video shows a school meeting in which teachers and parents are engaging in an IEP transition meeting to ensure that Mark, a child with developmental delays, will have a smooth transition into kindergarten. Watch how the team creates a strong collaboration between teachers and parents, with a commitment to what is best for Mark. How a teacher conveys and delivers information to the family can set the tone of the meeting. What did Ann, the teacher, do to start the meeting off on a positive note?

2. How a teacher conveys and delivers information to the receiving teacher, like the kindergarten teacher in this video, is also important. The narrator explains that, “If teachers have positive expectations, then they are more likely to behave positively with the child. However, if they have heard a child described negatively, they may focus on the child’s problems even though they know as professionals they should not have preconceived negative opinions.” How does this statement make you feel about how teachers convey and receive information with each other?

Chapter 1 Questions

1.Think about an enjoyable group or community of which you are a member. It could be a spiritual group, hobby or sports group, family group, or other group. How do you feel when you get together with this specific set of people? You probably feel a strong sense of belonging to this group. Watch this video to see how literacy coach Shelly Outwater and teacher Erica Layte bring a strong sense of self identity and belonging to the school community that honors each child’s similarities and differences through a multicultural curriculum. In what ways did these teachers create a strong sense of self identity and belonging to the school community for the children in their classroom?

2. Young children have similarities and differences when it comes to their abilities. As a future teacher, explain three ways you will ensure that a child with disabilities feels the same strong sense of identity and belonging to the school community as you do to your specific group.
