F. Rationale for Lesson Design

Consider the following questions and write a paragraph that responds to these questions in the
space provided below:

1. How does the knowledge of this topic inform choices for learning design?
• What is the main idea/s and most important things to know about this topic?
• What ways of thinking and doing are important for learning this topic?
• How do these inform the design of learning tasks and sequencing of lesson steps?

2. How do learners and their diversities inform choices for lesson design?
• How have you considered the learning support needs in this class?
• How have I ensured that all learners may participate and learn?

3. How do opportunities in this context inform choices for lesson design?

• What possibilities and constraints have I considered?
The main idea of this lesson is to explore the impact of steamships on travel and trade, the
Titanic's significance in maritime history, and modern forms of water transport. Key concepts
include steamship revolution, faster travel, reliable schedules, increased trade, maritime disasters,
and modern vessel diversity. The learning design includes engaging questions, visual
introductions, discussions about the Titanic's story, class debates, transition to modern water
transport, and assessment through discussions, group work, and follow-up assignments. The
lesson considers diverse learning styles, uses visual aids, and adapts to specific needs. It
encourages active participation and fosters a positive classroom environment. Opportunities in
the context include using technology. However, constraints include time limitations, access to
resources, and class size.

(Killan and Hattingh, 2022). Videos on topics such
as historical ships or the Titanic, provide visual and
auditory stimuli, enhancing understanding and
retention. Writing for learning reinforces
understanding, organizes thoughts, and supports
memory retention (Killan and Hattingh, 2022). It
can be used to summarize key points about
different water transport modes, reflect on the
Titanic's story, and formulate arguments,
encouraging active information processing (Killan
and Hattingh, 2022). Overall, direct instruction,
discussion, video, and writing are effective
methods for teaching water transport.
