Overall Goal/ Purpose

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Instructional Objectives
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Students will be able to compare the wide variety of early human settlements. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Students will create a story about how they would live in one of these settlements.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Materials
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Text book <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Computers with internet access <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Websites about early human settlements saved into a class database

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Procedures
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Focus Attention/Motivation: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">"We will be traveling back in time and each of you will be spending a week living in a settlement alongside the early humans that we have been studying good luck.

Instructional Input & Modeling: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">While living within the settlement of the early humans you will not have any of your modern technology to help you so you will have to learn and use what you already know about the ways of the early humans to survive. Your task is to observe and survive, the evidence you will be bring back with you is a story about your experience. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">What needs to be included within your story 1) a picture of you with your new pals, 2) a story about you hunting and or gathering your own food, 3) a story about you and your new pals having fun.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Student Engagement/Practice: <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Students will do research about their settlement using the book and the internet sites I already approved. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Also I will be having one or two teams presenting their findings from their dig the previous week.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Assessment
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> Formative: I will make time to discuss with each student about their progress on their story and give them guidance if they are struggling. <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';">Summative: the story will be graded using a rubric.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Arial','sans-serif'; font-size: 13pt;">Accommodations
<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif';"> I will offer my students graphic organizers and sentence starters in order to help them jump start their thinking. I will also allow those students that struggle with writing the option of drawing pictures and then creating two or three sentence captions for each picture or they can dictate their story to another teacher or parent.
