04 Beyond The Basic Prductivity Tools Lesson Idea Template 1

This lesson plan teaches 5th grade students about key events and people of the Civil Rights Movement through creating timelines. Students will watch a BrainPop video about the Civil Rights Movement and discuss important events and figures. Then, students will conduct research to include at least eight dates on their timelines, adding descriptions and photos. Finally, students will create their own timelines using an online timeline tool, and present their timelines to the class. The lesson integrates technology, engages students through hands-on research and creation, and assesses learning through a timeline checklist.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL):

The students will be engaged because they will be researching events as well as people who were important
during the Civil Rights Movement. The students will find events and people during this time to create a
timeline using the timeline on readwritethink.org. The students will be engaged because they are the ones
doing the research of events and people as well as creating the timeline themselves. The students will also be
putting the events or people in order based on date.

The Civil Rights Movement will be represented in multiple ways for students to learn. One way will be through
visual learning by watching the video on BrainPop showing the different events and people during the Civil
Rights Movement. There will also be a script to go along with the video. Auditory learners will be able to listen
to me lecture as well as the video explain events and people. Students who learn best from hands-on
activities will be able to build their own timeline by researching themselves.

The students will be able to research and choose their own photos for each event or person. The students can
use the photos and write a short description in their own words to represent the event or person. The
students can also move the timeline around, so they can line up the dates in whatever format they wish.

Lesson idea implementation: I will tell the students we are going to learn about important events and
people from the Civil Rights Movement. I will hook the students’ attention by showing the BrainPop video on
the Civil Rights Movement. I will then discuss the events and people who were shown in the video as a class. I

will show the timeline software to the students and how it works. I will then allow the students to conduct
research on different events and people during the Civil Rights Movement. The students will be responsible
for at least eight different dates including events and people. The students will save photos to add into the
timeline for each date as well. After the research has been done, the students will then create their timeline
using the information they gathered.

I will have a checklist for assessing the students’ timelines. Some examples for the checklist will be making
sure to have at least eight dates, each date includes a description, each date includes a photo, the dates are in
the correct order, the events and/or people are part of the Civil Rights Movement we discussed. I will make
sure to tell the students specific events or people that must be in each timeline. This will be engaging for the
students because they will be creating their own timeline. While each timeline will include the Civil Rights
Movement, each timeline will also be different based on format, descriptions, and photos of the students’
choice. To conclude the lesson, I will have students talk about the dates and what happened for each of the
dates. I will also allow students to share their times in front of the class if they wish.

Reflective Practice:
This will allow students to learn about the Civil Rights Movement as well as dig a little deeper into important
events that occurred and people who were important during this movement. The students are learning a
standard based lesson while using technology to create a timeline on readwritethink.org. I could extend the
lesson by allowing students to pick their topic or range of dates to construct a timeline. This would allow
some independence in deciding what to create a timeline on. I could also have students write a short
paragraph for each event or person on a piece of paper to go along with the timeline they create.
