• DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • DRAFT • Organization The lessons plans in the collection below were gathered largely from the major resources listed and described in the section "Sources of Existing Lesson Plans". The collection is divided into: • lesson plans whose original language is English (as L1); Within the sections named above the lesson plans are listed in grid-like tables, alphabetically (on the left) by a convenient title, whether or not it is the original title of the lesson plan. The remaining columns of the grid are: • main subject area; Principles of Selection The sample lesson plans were selected for strengths in one or more of the following characteristics (in addition, of course, to a general impression of quality and ease of adaptability to STEM+German use): • open-source sources (lack of copyright restriction, etc.) • mapping onto standards already in the lesson plan itself • activities that support learner-learner communication • topics / activities that relate to internationalization and diversity • potential for use, if necessary with adjustment, at more than one cognitive and linguistic level • features that support minorities and women • relation to career pathways and employability • integration with other subject areas, whether within or outstide STEM, and with generic proficiencies, such as critical thinking, career exploration, etc. • assessment tools, especially if they include communicative skills • convenient formatting (good page breaks, easy reproducibility, etc.) • rich media, especially when it is generic or has promise of international equivalents • advice to the teacher • work samples • if for American learners: accompanying versions in Spanish, with ready adaption for German • possibilities of enrichment for language and STEM AP learners, IB programs, etc. •• lesson plans whose original language is English (as L1) •• table ---------- SSch Your house and mine (Maryland, ESOL, S, CH, A): link SSch note about "Your House and Mine": Your House and Mine – Materials / PPT / Die drei Schweinchen (audience: Junior Novice Low-Mid / STEM Subjects: Technology, Engineering, Math ) Linked is the ESOL lesson plan for “Your house and mine.” This lesson plan can be adapted for many languages and can be used as a cultural study through the comparison of houses in the TL’s culture with the L1’s culture. Reading, Listening and Speaing skills are used in this lesson. ------------ SSCH Orange County Public Schools: Elementary STEM Resources STEM Subjects: Science: Earth Sciences, Biology, Engineering) Lesson Plan Example: Garden Design (audience: Intermediate Low-Mid Speakers/Listeners/Readers, STEM Subjects: Science: Earth Sciences, Biology, Engineering) This lesson plan is designed for Grade 1, but could be used in a language classroom with Novice High Proficiency levels. The plan could be modified to discuss Schrebergärten in Germany and the different living situations (apartments) here and in Germany. Groupwork activities, speaking, listening. --------- SSCH Name of Source: Smithsonian Education: Science and Technology URL: http://smithsonianeducation.org/educators/lesson_plans/science_technology.html Notes: The Smithsonian Education webpage offers a database of Science and Technology lesson plans for grades K-12 with easy to find links, background information and supplemental materials. The Lessons cover material from everything between marine-biology to podcast-producing technology and would be for the more advanced classes as most of the lessons involve background reading and discussion. The lessons would have highly-specific vocabulary and would focus on the teaching of subjects through story analysis, interpretation and discussion. Although some of the lessons relate to specific exhibits at the Smithsonian Museums, the lessons could be easily modified to include local museums/science-centers and/or content. Example Lesson Plan: Tomorrow's Forecast: Oceans and Weather (Audience: Novice High-Intermediate low speaking/listening, Intermediate Low-Mid reading, STEM Subjects: Environmental Sciences) This lesson plan is designed for L1 English Students between grade 4-8. The lesson highlights key terms and provides background information on major themes. Science, Math, Geography and social studies are the subjects focused on in this lesson. The lesson involves situational thiningking, groupwork, individual reading/work, homework and presentation. It may be appropriate to exclude final lesson. ----- • lesson plans whose original language is English (as L1); |
