PLAGIARISM FREE "A" WORK

For this Assignment your Curriculum Project should be on a Bible Subject Pertaining to the Educational Program of the Church.

A. Curriculum Project:

You will create the information for the criteria below as you design a curriculum for children, teen, and/or adult learner groups for one year. [You can choose one learner group if your project is detailed, otherwise create components for all three groups.] There will be three components:  a curriculum map, a unit, and a individual lesson plan. 

B. Components of the Project:

1  Create a Curriculum Map- a chart showing what the course is and when units are taught. There are many different formats seen on the Internet--Google and choose one that you can make work.

Hint: Most of the time, a curriculum map looks a lot like a spreadsheet. The rows will show the separate time periods covered (by month or by quarter).  The columns will show the information subject matter. See below for an adequate example:

2  Create a unit within the curriculum. Include:

Introduction/Statement of Purpose - length of the unit,   value of the unit, compelling reasons that the unit should be taught:

· Societal needs--how this addresses the needs of society

· Student needs--how the unit addresses the needs of students

· Content/curriculum needs--how the unit addresses the needs of the subject

Essential Questions--essential questions focus the teacher and students on what content needs to be learned in the specific unit

Sequencing Rationale - How do units relate to each other?  [Consider the following examples of sequencing principles-

·   Simple-to-complex learning- (e.g., concrete ideas to abstract ideas).

·   Prerequisite learning- certain information must be learned first. 

·   Whole-to-part learning- an overview first, then specific topics or content

·   Chronological learning- content is presented in order of events, (e.g., history) ]

Unit Outcomes: 

· Content outcomes- what subject matter and concepts do students need to learn

· Ability outcomes- what skills should students develop (including problem-solving skills)

· Value and disposition outcomes- what attitudes and values will students acquire

Assessment Strategy

· Formative assessments - quizzes, assignments used to give feedback for improvement in the middle of a lesson, unit or course

· Summative assessments - final exam, paper, or project used to gauge student success at the end of a lesson, unit or course

3  Create an Individual Lesson Plan within a unit

Create a lesson plan for one class period with instructions so that a substitute teacher could easily know what to do and how to do it. Use the template below:

  

Lesson Title:                                           (time: _____ min)
