This week I am having a closer look at the Social Studies grade 10 curriculum. In our Multiliteracies class we had a workshop last week in the digital scholarship commons and learned how to use canva. Potentially, it is a better tool to create mindmaps and therefore I am using canva this week for my ideas on the SS Gr. 10 BC curriculum.
In order to dive deeper into the material, I would like to use the opportunity to create a lesson plan on ideologies. Ideologies fall under “Government, First Peoples governance, political institutions, and ideologies.”
Lesson Plan for an 80 min. Class on Ideologies
Hook:
Video of Tucker Carlson, students have to identify terms linked to ideologies, Is Tucker Carlson using the correct terms? What are the definitions of those terms?
Kahoot: https://create.kahoot.it/details/80410a10-f389-4855-955e-001033318c11 Test students’ understanding of ideology terms.
Body:
- Mind Map of ideologies and sub-ideologies
- PPP: One slide per ideology for definition, ask students to link ideology to a country
Closure:
- Have 10 examples of scenarios, students have to identify and argue why this statement/ scenario supports a certain ideology
- Assign a scenario to two students
- Other students have to observe students that argue and assign a winner of the debate
