Wilson Prophet of Peace Lesson Plan
Wilson/ Prophet of Peace spreadsheet
Interactivity four provided a unique opportunity for me to
critique another author's lesson plan while adding some of my own
creativity. I really enjoyed the author of Woodrow Wilson, prophet of
Peace's lesson plan. The plan was informative, student centered and
creative. The one missing component to the lesson plan was its inclusion
of technology. Very little technology was incorporated into the
lesson. That in my opinion does it disservice. The reason i feel
this way is because utilizing online databases and the internet can help
further students’ knowledge of Wilson's ideas and help create a broader picture
of the world in which he was president.
The use of technology could also help students’ bridge the
gap between background knowledge and new knowledge. In our day and age, the internet provides
nearly all students information. Not enabling
or expecting students to utilize the web does not only inhibit them from a
total learning experience but also contradicts the world in which we live
in. Overall, the creativity that the
author put into this lesson plan demonstrates that he or she was able reach
students at a deeper cognitive level. I
will utilize many of the same strategies they used in my classroom I because
feel they are both fun and effective. Thankfully,
teachers like the author of Wilson, prophet of peace keep seeking new ways to inspire
students to deepen their knowledge and broaden their horizons.
