 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

iMovie newscast- Students will work in small groups to create a newscast considering the reasons why the United States did not want to enter the war. Students will have to research the reasons why the United States decided to be neutral in the war and they will be expected to give their opinions to why they believed they made those decisions. Each group will show their newscasts during the next class period.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__
Teacher- I will show my students how to use iMovie so they are all able to use it effectively in their newscasts.
 * Technology:**

Student- Students will be researching U.S. policy during World War II on their laptops and they will become acquainted with iMovie.

English- Students will be doing KWL charts and will be thinking in-depthly about the reasons the United States did not want to be involved in the war.

__Groupings__
Students will do a three minute review exercise where they will be given the opportunity to work in groups to review and discuss what they have learned so far in the class discussion. They can fill in part of the, what they have learned section, of their KWL chart during this time. Students will count off by threes to decide who they will be working with during the three minute review. For their newscasts, students can work in pairs or groups of three. I will have to approve the groups before they can begin to work on their projects.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__

 * Strategies**:
 * Interpersonal:** Students will be working in groups during the three minute reviews and in the iMovie.
 * Logical:** The KWL chart allows students to think of what they have learned and they want to learn.
 * Kinesthetic:** Students will be able to get up and move around during the three minute review times while working with different partners.
 * Visual:** The pictures of the Nazi's in Paris on the board before class and the iMovie.
 * Musical:** In the iMovie students can use music to help enhance their project.
 * Naturalist:** Students can go outside while filming their news cast.

I will review students IEP's, 504, or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accomodations.
 * Modifications/Accommodations**

If a student is absent, it is there responsibility to contact a classmate so they can get any work or assignments given on the day of their absence. Assignments are posted on the class wiki but all worksheets or handouts from the class are not available on the wiki. Students are expected to complete any assignments they missed the day after they receive the assignment unless otherwise notified. Failure to comply will result in a zero or incomplete for that assignment.

I will show the students how to effectively use iMovie and also make myself available during and after class for any clarifying questions on iMovie. Students will be able to use their laptops and any other resources to do more in-depth research on the topic. They will also be given a rubric for the iMovie newscast, so they will know exactly what is expected of them.

Agenda: Day 1 - Students will enter and attendance will be taken while they look at the images on the board ( 5 min) - Students will be given their KWL charts and will be asked to fill out the what they already know part and what they want to know section ( 10 min) - We will hold a class discussion allowing students to share what they know and will be able to dig a little deeper into some of their ideas ( 30 min) - Students will break into their three minute review groups and will also start filling out the what they've learned part of their KWL chart ( 10 min) - Students will be introduced to iMovie and will be shown how to use it ( 10 min) - Students can break into project groups with my approval. They will be given their rubrics and can begin to research and discuss ideas for their projects ( 15 min) Day 2 - The iMovie newscasts will be shown and students can add anything they learned from each others projects to their KWL charts which will then be turned in.

Students will understand that the United States did not want to be involved in the war militarily, but were brought into the war when attacked by Japan. We are doing this to understand why the United States wanted to be neutral in a foreign conflict. //Students understand major eras, major enduring themes and historic influences in the United States and world history including the roots of democratic philosophy, ideals, and institutions in the world//.

During our class discussion we be talking about the reasons why the United States did not want to be involved in World War II. Students will know Hirohito, Tojo, Roosevelt, Pearl Harbor, The Atlantic Charter, neutrality (see content notes).

The KWL chart will help them in creating their iMovie newscast.
 * EQUIP- Tailors: intrapersonal, interpersonal, verbal, logical**

At this point, students will do a three minute review exercise where they will be given the opportunity to work in groups to review and discuss what they have learned so far in the class discussion. Towards the end of the class, students will be given an opportunity to start researching and working on their iMovie newscasts. Students will be able to ask me clarifying questions before they leave class so they will be able to complete their projects with a full understanding of what is expected.
 * EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE, RETHINK, REVISE, REFINE- Tailors: interpersonal, kinesthetic, logical, verbal**

The KWL charts will show me the students prior knowledge about the topic. For the iMovie newscast, students will be given a rubric displaying what is expected of them in their project.
