FOCUS ACTIVITY/ANTICIPATORY SET

Think of this like a preview for an upcoming movie – something that ignites curiosity I’ll begin the class by discussing the various threats we face in our community, as well as possible scenarios, in order to stimulate conversation.

As we continue to practice, throughout the lesson I will ask individuals or groups to correctly answer how to spot a dangerous situation. We’ll have a competition to get bonus points.

CONNECTION TO PRIOR LEARNING OR REAL WORLD

This is what you say to students about what they have already learned and how it prepares them for what they are about to learn; review what they have learned to prepare them for the upcoming lesson. This will help you have a better grasp of self-help skills so that you can improve your own safety outside of the house and school. Knowing when to use your newly learned knowledge of community threats. Referring to what we’ve already learned about drug and weapon overuse and misuse around the world

OBJECTIVE STATEMENT (be sure to include the performance measure)

This is what you say to students about what students will learn today, and how they will show they have learned the content (that is the performance measure) Students today we will be learning how to apply strategies for avoiding violence, gangs, weapons, and drugs by identifying 4 of 8 dangerous scenarios in the community, and also identify safe ways to avoid dangerous scenarios in the community. After we go over a few situations together, you will perform a similar exercise on your own and be graded on your ability to properly identify harmful circumstances and solutions to prevent them using a rubric

PURPOSE OF LEARNING

Why do students need to learn this today? This should be written in what you will say to students and should include both why it is important to the content and why it is relevant in their lives. This is something we’re studying to improve personal safety for you and others in the community and outside of school.

Directions to give

Questions that you will ask – at least 6, highlighted in green. I’ll begin the class by discussing the various threats we face in our community, as well as possible scenarios, in order to stimulate conversation

Students today we will be learning how to apply strategies for avoiding violence, gangs, weapons, and drugs by identifying 4 of 8 dangerous scenarios in the community, and also identify safe ways to avoid dangerous scenarios in the community. After we go over a few situations together, you will perform a similar exercise on your own and be graded on your ability to properly identify harmful circumstances and solutions to prevent them using a rubric

will then go through the “I do, you do, we do” method of modeling. With different scenarios on a powerpoint slide, I will explain how to correctly identify a dangerous situation, and explain how to safely avoid these dangerous situations to increase personal safety. As I am showing how to handle the situation, I will be checking with class assess their understanding.

in the “we do” portion, The students will practice what the teacher had modeled in dealing with various community scenarios. I will monitor for the correct response. Paired students will get to perform different scenarios and the correct responses to keep themselves safe in the community. When I check each group, I will make sure that each member is correctly responding and understanding, by asking specific questions that require open-ended answers.

We will then move into the formative assessment. This will be a short quiz at the end of class to check understanding. PowerPoint slides with 3 different community scenario asking for their prior knowledge learned from different community’s with and without present danger…Followed by a worksheet with multiple choice answers on what is harmful to a student’s personal safety when out in the community. A rubric will be used to grade their performance, and one of the criteria will be a proper solution.

LITERACY STRATEGIES USED

when we are modeling the scenarios, we will go over how to identify the dangerous situation, highlight important information used to avoid and safely get out the situation

STUDENT USE OF TECHNOLOGY
