    Inquiry-Based Lesson Plan for History-Social Science

    1. Anticipatory Set Time: 5 minutes


    At the beginning of the short lecture, Students will be asked to list out the different forms of
    government they are aware of and an example of that form of government.
    Students will also be asked to describe what we learned in the last class.

    2. Central Historical Question Time: 1 minute


    What are the benefits and downfalls of each form of government?

    3. Teacher Input (delivery of historical Time: 10


    context)
    I will be doing a short presentation on the background information as well as giving them the
    directions to the presentations. There will also be definitions for academic vocabulary in the chapter.
    I show the students where to find all the materials by sharing my screen. I will assign roles to
    students as a way to provide some structure. I will be going to each breakout group to see if any
    student has questions.
    The slides will be posted after class so that students may look back for information or for
    instructions for the groups. This is so that my Focus student 3 and other students can look back for
    background information if they got lost due to attention issues.

    4. Student Activity and Investigation (w/


    differentiation) Time: 20 minutes
    Students will be split into groups in order to find information on the forms of government. Once
    they have all the information for their assigned. Students will use their textbooks in order to find
    the information. They will then create a presentation that shows the information.
    Differentiation: I will upload a pdf of the chapter on Google classroom that will also be in Spanish
    and Vietnamese. Focus Student 1 is an ELL and his reading comprehension is low level. The
    translation makes it easier for them to get the information. Another focus student has issues at home
    and is often couch surfing so providing the pdf ensures that they have access to our materials. The
    pdf can be zoomed into which makes reading easier for my second focus student who has attention
    issues. There will also be suggested sentence starters, that students can use for the graphic
    organizer. That is again for my first focus student.
    5. Lesson Assessment (w/ differentiation) Time: 50
    Students will be creating a presentation with the information they have found with their groups.
    When the students give their presentations, they will be graded on a couple different aspects. This
    includes, the content of their slides, how prepared the students are to speak, and the overall look of
    the presentation.
    Differentiation: I will also be assigning mixed groups, where all the students in a group are of
    varying English Language mastery. This is to benefit Focus student 1.

    6. Closure Time: 5 minutes


    After the presentations, I will finish my lecture by discussing the downfalls of each of the forms
    of government, and why that ultimately led to the rise of a young version of democracy. I will
    also use background information my students might now as I discuss and compare the direct
    democracy of Ancient Greece with the democracy of the United States and in particular, the direct
    democracy of California.
    In the peer evaluations there will also be a section where the students are evaluating themselves.

    7. Student Reflection (metacognition) Time:


    As a part of their asynchronous work, students will synthesis what they learned by completing a
    pictoword for each form of government that was practiced in ancient Greece, they will use the
    letters to symbolize the word’s meaning.
