A Unit Plan I did for CI350 on the United States Constitutional Amendments and how I would plan on teaching them to a group of 12th grade Advance Placement civics class
2. Analyze the learner
This will be a 12th grade Advanced Placement civics class.
The class will contain 23 students where 13 are girls and 10 are boys.
3. Main Objective
By the end of two weeks my students will be able to compare one amendment to
any other amendment, contrast one amendment to any other amendment, describe
the amendments, identify the amendments, and apply what they learned to their
daily lives. They will accomplish this by watching videos, working in groups,
presenting to the class, doing debates, listening to a song/rap, and keeping a
reflection journal with a 95% accuracy.
