History E1. Historical knowledge, concepts, themes, and patterns Grade 6-8 "Contemporary United States, 1961 to Present Students understand major eras, major enduring themes, and historic influences in the history of Maine, the United States and various regions of the world. b. Identify and analyze major historical eras, major enduring themes, turning points, events, consequences, and people in the history of Maine, the United States, and various regions of the world. **Rationale** During this lesson, students will be analyzing major events occurring during the Vietnam War and also analyzing turning points and consequences happening during the 1960s. __**Assessment**__ __**Integration**__ //Technology: // Students will use the Internet for research during the WebQuest. The students will also use technology, such as Microsoft Word, Comic Life, Power Point, etc. to create and present the artifacts created during the WebQuest about the Vietnam War and subsequent protests in America.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**
 * During this lesson, students will use a five W's graphic organizer while taking notes about certain events occurring during the Vietnam War and the publics feeling about those events. This organizer will help the students to organize specific details into five main sections.
 * Students will participate in a think-pair-share activity, where they will discuss a prompt related to the Vietnam War and public opinion and then report their feelings back to the rest of the class.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**
 * Students will be completing a WebQuest about the Vietnam War and the two sides presented in America- pro war and anti war. The students will be assigned a side to take (either pro or anti war) and will then be required to create artifacts representing that specific side. The artifacts will then be presented to the class and handed in. This assignment is worth fifty points of the total five hundred and ten of the entire unit.

//Other Content Areas: // This lesson incorporates Art. During the WebQuest, students will be creating artifacts related to the sides Americans took during the Vietnam War- anti war or pro war. The artifacts will include poster, brochures, etc. that require the students to be artistically and visually creative. __**Groupings**__ Students will be put in pairs to participate in a think-pair-share, where they will discuss how they feel about a prompt given to them about the Vietnam War. To choose the pairs, the students will line up and the first person in the line will pair up with the last person, the second person in line will pair up with the person who is second to last, and so on. This way, pairs will be chosen for the students and done so in a way that is fair. During the think-pair-share, students will be given a prompt, which asks them which side they would have taken on the Vietnam War- pro war or anti war. The students will have time to think about their answers, after which, they will share their opinions with their partner. After both partners have discussed their opinions, the groups will report out to the rest of the class. __**Differentiated Instruction**__ //**Interpersonal** //**//:// ** Students will be working with classmates during the think-pair-share. I will review students IEP, 504, and ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations. During this particular lesson, students will be asked to think deeply about material covered in class during note taking. The students will participate in a think-pair-share activity and be asked to discuss which side they would have taken as related to the Vietnam War and why they agree with either the pro war public or the anti war public. This activity will get students ready for the WebQuest, in which they will be assigned a side to take and will then have to create artifacts explaining that particular side. The students will use technology for research, creating their artifacts, and for presenting their artifacts. __**Materials, Resources and Technology**__ __**Source for Lesson Plan and Research**__

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

//**Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.**// //**Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.**// //**Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.**// //<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;">**Interpersonal** //**<span style="font-family: Times New Roman, serif;"> : ** Students will be working with classmates during the think-pair-share. During this lesson, students will be utilizing technology to complete a WebQuest about the Vietnam War and subsequently, public opinion of the war. The students will be completing Internet based research based on the side they are assigned (pro or anti war) and will be creating a number of artifacts, which will be completed using technology such as a word processor, paint program, Comic Life, etc.
 * Rationale**: During this lesson, numerous materials and resources will be utilized to meet the educational needs of six of the eight multiple intelligences. Multiple graphic organizers for note taking will be given to the students and will especially appeal to those who may lean towards being more logical minded and/or organized. Handout describing assignments will also be given to students and will help those who need some form of outlined requirements and guidelines. The classroom will be arranged so as to be comfortable and welcoming for the students, but will also be an environment that is safe and conducive to various styles of learning.
 * Rationale**: In this lesson, the focus will be on student’s ability to illustrate how and why the Vietnam War caused divide among Americans. Major events, turning points, and consequences occurring throughout the Vietnam War will be covered and discussed, which is directly associated with the goals described in the Maine Learning Results. Extensive research into events and public opinion during the Vietnam War will lead to content notes that present clear, and more importantly, accurate information that will further the students understanding and knowledge of those events and how public opinion was effected.

//**Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.**// Summative assessment for this lesson will be based on the students’ completion of a WebQuest based on the Vietnam War and public opinion in the United States related to that war. Students will be assigned a side to take on the issue, either pro war or anti war, and will then do some brief research. After the completion of research, students will be responsible for creating artifacts that accurately portray the feelings and opinions of those who were on that particular side during the war in Vietnam.
 * Rationale**: Formative assessment will be given in numerous ways. Students will be utilizing a five W's graphic organizer to record, organize, and categorize their notes about specific events occurring during the Vietnam War. This organizer allows the student to organize information based on five factors: Who, What, When, Where, and Why. Lastly, students will participate in a brief think-pair-share activity, which will also help them to prepare for the WebQuest (summative). During the think-pair-share, students will be placed in pairs and will be given a prompt. They will then discuss the prompt and report their feelings and what was discussed to the rest of the class.
