Interdisciplinary Lesson Plan

The grade and content area that I am pursuing licensure in is EC-12 Physical Education. You may choose whichever 2 content areas to include in the interdisciplinary lesson plan, as long as it is not art.

 

In the files, I am providing the interdisciplinary lesson plan assignment on what the instructor is looking for, the rubric for the assignment, and also I am adding 2 lesson plan examples that was provided in which the instructor mentioned they both were graded as exemplary assignments. You may follow the templates of either examples as long as neither of the information is taken from either.

 

For the TEKs list, either is fine to use, you may find the ones to copy and paste here.

Double space all outlines and essays. 

Do not write out the essay in paragraphs and put numbers/ letters beside it , calling it an outline. The points on an outline do not have to be in complete sentences for this class although some of the examples show complete sentences. 

 Write on the same  topic as the preliminary outline ( how technology impacts your chosen profession/ job or the medical field ).   Do not change topics.   Write your thesis at the top after making adjustments from your preliiminary outline.

‘How do the readings and videos from this Lesson connect with your own experiences?  Provide examples from your life experiences (things you have participated in actively or passively, things you have done, have experienced, or witnessed).  Use the assigned readings/ videos to support and explain your response.

In addition, find an example from current events or media (which can include nontraditional media like twitter etc.)  which is relevant to what you have been reading.

When you use the texts you should always use a parenthetical citation (author’s last name year of publication: page number) to credit the ideas of the author(s) from which you are referencing.

Reflection Discussion posts should be about 250 words

Ted Talk Soci

You will watch a series of Ted Talks that will help you think more about intersectional oppression. Who is seen as different and less than? In each of these stories, you will not only trace the impact of the isms/phobias/biases but will also search for what is missing. For example, is the video addressing misogyny and sexism but failing to address class or race simultaneously?

After you watch the video or read the article, fill in this script.  Just because the lines are small does not mean you should limit yourself to one word.  Refer to the reading for week 2 for a list of isms, phobias, etc.

In this video/article, the key “isms,” phobias, and biases that the speaker/author discusses are ____________. These isms result in consequences such as __________________. The speaker discusses the intersection of __________ and __________[Or, the speaker should also discuss the intersection of _________ and ____________]. The main institutions and social practices and discourses that perpetuate the “isms” and consequences discussed in this video are _______________.

If you need help, check the list of isms, consequences, and institutions/structures described earlier.

Note: Please follow the links to find access to both the videos and reproduction of the transcripts. All Ted Talks are also closed captioning-enabled.

Lesson 1, Assignment 1

CRIMINOLOGICAL THEORY

1. For your first discussion question, we must first set a firm understanding of “What’s Criminology?” So first discuss the mutual relevance of sociology and criminology. 

2. Before we continue moving forward, it is also crucial that you have a good understanding of crime – “What is crime?” Your text discusses the terms mala in se and mala prohibita. Can you think of any behaviors that are currently considered mala in se but better fit the mala prohibita definition? Why? *

*Note: Remember, some crimes are difficult to classify. Individual or subjective beliefs involving religion, politics, and ethics creates diverse views as to whether certain activities are mala in se or mala prohibita. Think about crimes such as marijuana possession, gambling, bigamy, prostitution, stealing food because your family is hungry, etc. – Are these crimes evil in themselves (mala in se) or wrong only because prohibited by law (hence implying that they are not inherently evil – mala prohibita)? You can also think about how the way we view behaviors has changed over time and how it differs across cultures.

3. What elements need to be present for a crime to occur? Explain the differences between mens rea and actus reus. Find a news article online in which a crime was reported and explain how the mens rea and actus reus are present. Provide a link to your article.

In the following story, for example:

“A man from Kansas has been given three life sentences in prison for a hate crime in which he murdered an Indian engineer at a bar last year, also injuring the man’s friend and a patron who tried to help. Adam Purinton, 53, called Srinivas Kuchibhotla, 32, a “terrorist” and screamed at him to “get out of my country!” in a bar confrontation in February 2017. After the incident, Purinton drove home, got a gun and returned to the bar to fatally shoot Kuchibhotla, also wounding the victim’s friend Alok Madasani and a bar patron who intervened, Ian Gillot.”

• Mens rea (guilty mind) – After the altercation, Mr. Purinton went to his home, got a gun, drove back to the scene and shot the victim. This shows that the defendant intended to commit the act.
• Actus reus (actual act) – Mr. Purinton shot the gun, which killed Mr. Kuchibhotla and injured Mr. Gillot
