  1. Welcome to Unit 8 Seminar Integrating Curriculum

  2. Looking back at Units 5, 6 and 7, share what you recall about the following domains of the Children’s Comprehensive Curriculum. What do the domains mean to you as a teacher? • Aesthetic Domain • Affective Domain • Cognitive Domain • Language Domain • Physical Domain • Social Domain

  3. From Start to Finish…….

  4. Lesson Plans The chart on the previous slide will assist you in creating lesson plans.

  5. Unit 8 Project Lesson Plans that Integrate Curriculum“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” Mark Twain“Kindness is the language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” Unit 8 Project In this project you will create two lesson plans that address the integration of content areas and learning domains through a theme-based approach. This project has two parts.

  6. Unit 8 Project Part 1 First you will select an age appropriate, meaningful topic. This topic will be the focus of your lesson plans and should be one that is of interest to children. It should be something in their everyday experience that invites exploration. It should also be a topic that correlates with learning standards created by government or professional organizations. A strong topic is one that allows children to interact over time and engage in multi-sensory experiences. PART 1 is represented by an introductory page (200 - 300 words); naming and defending a topic of study. A minimum of two quotes/citations are included to support your choice of topic.This should be submitted on an MS Word Document.

  7. Unit Project Part 2 For Part 2, you will create two lesson plans. Each should be based on a different domain from the Children’s Comprehensive Curriculum model. Each lesson plan, though from a separate domain, will be focused on the same topic. Below is a review of the domains of development. • The Aesthetic Domain • The Affective Domain • The Cognitive Domain • The Language Domain • The Physical Domain • The Social Domain

  8. Additional Requirements 1.Your lesson plans must be presented on the template provided. 2.Submit two plans from two different domains; both focused on the same topic. Note: There are examples of lesson plans in Appendix A of your text Developmentally Appropriate Curriculum, 5th ed., pp. 488 – 494. However they are not presented in the same template form you will be using. Please choose topics other than what is presented in your text. Please submit part 1 and the two lesson plan templates IN ONE DOCUMENT).

  9. Project Summary Part 1 (Defend topic-submit in MS word) Part 2 (Choose domain on topic-submit on lesson plan template) Part 3 (Choose domain on topic-submit on Lesson plan template) Submit all three parts in one document.

  11. Unit 8 Project Rubric: Lesson Plans that Integrate Curriculum • Maximum        185 Points: • Unit 8 Project: Grading Criteria • 40  points • Introduction: Appropriate theme/ focus is identified and defended through professional standards or early childhood theories.  •   125  points • 2 Individual Lesson Plans that address same theme are presented using the provided template for each plan. Lesson plans include: (examples on pgs. 488-494 of text) • ·         Activity name • ·         Learning Domain • ·         Goal (based on developmental expectations, research, early childhood theory) • ·         One or two Objectives (based on NAEYC standards or milestones of development) • ·         Content • ·         Materials • ·         Procedures • ·         Simplification/ Adaptations/ Modifications • ·         Extensions/ Support • ·         Evaluation    •    20 points • Grammar and spelling is correct.  Writing is clear, concise, and follows a logical pattern. The Lesson Plan Template and APA Format is used and a minimum of two quotes/ citations are included to support plans; for example to support a learning goal, or objective. There is also a separate Title and Reference Page.

  12. Field Trip Five-Year-Olds Pilot Their Own Project Learning http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_eyucHMifto Take time to view one of a selection of videos on student-driven class activities, enhanced by technology, which launch kindergartners on a journey of lifelong learning. Then return to discuss your thoughts. View link below or conduct a search by entering Five-Year-Olds Pilot Their Own Project Learning (YouTube/ edutopia).

  13. Integrated Curriculum Play (pretend and constructive), themes, and projects are among the best approaches to integrate curriculum. Direct instruction should be used sparingly. Integrating curriculum enables children to expand their thinking, make meaningful connections, express creativity, and most importantly master learning standards. What are differences in types of play? Between themes and projects? How can you effectively plan for play, themes, and projects?

  14. PLAY Early Childhood Professionals have long recognized the value of play as a primary teaching tool. Play, however, is only as valuable as the preparation that has preceded it. The quality of the materials, the availability of the materials, the educational value of the materials, the arrangement of the materials, the atmosphere of the classroom, and so much more, determine if play will in fact lead to meaningful learning.

  15. How can you utilize “play” as a teaching strategy? Share your ideas on the following: • What should you consider when setting up ‘play’ areas in the classroom? • How does pretend play help the development of cross-curricular skills? • How can you maximize play activities to support learning?

  16. Creating lesson plans that are multi-dimensional make it more likely that all students will learn; as they tend to address multiple intelligences and multiple learning styles. Discuss the following: • Explain different ways to integrate curriculum. • Point out ways to accommodate special needs children in their play and/ or participation in project work.

  17. Quote of the Day “Children have real understanding only of that which they invent themselves, and each time we try to teach them too quickly, we keep them from reinventing it themselves.” Jean Piaget
