Students understand the constitutional and legal rights, the civic duties and responsibilities, and roles of citizens in a constitutional democracy and the role of citizens living under other forms of government in the world.

Rationale: This particular lesson will reinforce the fact that we live in a society where we have a say in what our government is going to do and we much keep a strong healthy relationship with the government but being educated on what is going happening.

Assessment Formative-Assessment- As the students walk into class they will be handed a vocabulary list and will number the words in the order of importance to them. After doing this they will then be quizzed over what the words mean. This quiz will not be graded; it is simply there to see what the knowledge of significant vocabulary is.

Summative-Assessment- After they are finished with the entire lesson and have seen the presentation the students will be given the same list of words to number and give definitions to. This vocabulary quiz is going to be graded and many of the words have been used though out this whole unit and I have complete confidence that the students will have no trouble doing great on this quiz.

Integration Technology: Students are creating a Podcast their understanding of the defined vocabulary words; this project is a type two-technology project.

Language Arts: Students will be using what they have learned in prior or current language arts classes to use themes and understand poem construction and letter writing.

Groupings For this lesson I am giving the students the privilege to choose their own partners. The class will understand that I have the final say in changing groups if partners are not accomplishing what needs to be done. Partners will be together throughout this entire lesson and will both be graded on the four major parts of this lesson.

Differentiated Instruction Strategies Logical/Mathematical: Numbering the words in order of importance. Musical/Rhythmic: Students will write a poem about one of the vocabulary words of their choice. Intrapersonal: Students will write a mock letter to the government using the vocabulary word as the main subject. Interpersonal: Students will work with a partner to create a silent skit on the vocabulary word and have the other students guess what the word is. Bodily/Kinesthetic: Students will work with a partner to create a silent skit on the vocabulary word and have the other students guess what the word is.(Work for both learners) Visual: The teacher will ask a local Judge to come in a talk to the class and explain the importance of keeping a good relationship with the government.

Modifications/Accommodations I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. Excused absents will not receive any penalty to your participation or assignment grades. As for students that have an unexcused absence for class you will receive no participation grade and homework will receive no credit. You are expected to contact me about late work or extensions and meet with me to set up a time line for a new due date. You are expected to pass in what you have on the due date to get partial credit and prove that you have been working on the assignment. There will be no excuses for long term assignments being late, they will receive 10 pts off for everyday that it is late and stop at 60, because after that the assignment is failing.

Extensions Type II- All students are creating a Podcast their understanding of the defined vocabulary words; this project is a type two-technology project.

Beach ball learners like to try new ideas, are creative and inventive so the project-based final will complement their best traits.

For the Clipboard learners they will find the poem, letter and skit work very useful because they are very detailed and organized learners. Lastly, this lesson will help provide knowledge to the Microscope learners as well because they prefer to explore ideas and use them based on logic and evidence and this will need to happen when explaining their amendment.
