|PROCEDURE |
|Introduction (20min.): |
|Hook/Attention Grabber: To begin this introductory class have students clear their desks. Turn off the classroom light and have them close |
|their eyes. Be sure to have the Batman Begins trailer ready to play. Once students have their eyes closed explain that you are going to do a |
|mind walk with them. This just means that they should try and imagine the things you are talking about. |
|“Imagine a world where no one has a conscience. Everyone just does what they want and gets away with it. People steal, hurt, and kill other |
|people and there is nothing anyone can do about it. Take ten seconds in silence and think about how that would make you feel or what you would |
|do to try and stop the bad things from happening. |
| |
|Now think about the things we have in place in our society to keep people in check. We have the police, our parents, teachers, churches… take |
|ten seconds and think about what other things our society has set it place so that chaos does not ensue. |
|Do you have a code that you follow? Some unwritten rules that you won’t cross? How did you come by these rules? Were they always there? Feelings|
|of right and wrong? |
|Well the unit we are about to begin will deal all about the morality and ethics of ourselves and others. Just like this character…. (play Batman|
|Trailer) |
| |
|Assessment of Prior Knowledge: |
|Who has an idea of what the term ethics means? |
|What about morality? |
|Pick two students per term and have them take out their cellphones. Have them race to look up the definition of ethics |
|Do the same thing for morality. |
|Have the class right down the definitions in a blank page. |
|Write down definitions on Smartboard |
| |
|Expectations for Learning and Behaviour: |
|This unit will require each person to keep tabs on themselves. Because this unit focuses around ethics and morality in society, as well as our |
|own codes we need to be respectful of one another’s beliefs, consistently putting ourselves in other’s shoes. So many issues in this world are |
|caused by ethnocentric ideals. (Ask them if they know what that term means- if not. Have them find it on their phones and record it on their |
|sheets) |
|Near the end of this unit you will be given the opportunity to document and explore a certain moral or ethical issue with your phone, i-pad, a |
|camera. I need to be able to trust that when you leave this classroom to go work on your assignments you will work on them. If we come to that |
|point in the unit and I cannot trust you, then you will be given a different assignment. (Shakespeare is everywhere?) |
| |
|Advance Organizer/Agenda: |
|Today: you will be introduced to the two texts this unit will revolve around, as well as some background information on each of them. |
|Then in small groups you will be asked to create a graphic organizer or mind map that explores some of the moral or ethical issues in our |
|society today. |
| |
|Transition to Body: |
|Body (_50_min.): |
|Learning Activity #1: Introduce Macbeth text first- this play will be the second portion of this unit. Utilize the slide share above to give a |
|brief background on Macbeth. Many students may have a bad taste in their mouth about Shakespeare, so it would be good to show a satirical clip |
|(on website) on Shakespeare. |
|Assessments/Differentiation: |
| |
|Learning Activity #2: Have students stand up out of their desks. Select one student (probably one that is confident and well liked in the class)|
|to stand in the corner all by themselves. Send the rest of the students to the other side of the room. |
|Ask the class- why do you think (student name) is on the other side of the room by his/her self? |
|Wait for a series of answers, then say- well, I think because this student has (could name color of hair, eye color, wearing a certain color) |
|they are a witch. |
|That’s right, and actually now that I noticed- (name another student) I think you’re a witch as well. Move over to that corner. |
|Continue picking random people using silly explanations for your reasoning until about 60% of the class is over on the other side of the room. |
|Explain that this type of reasoning was used during the Salem witch hunts. Mass hysteria was rampant through society and it was every person’s |
|word against the other. |
|Introduction to the Crucible. Power points provided (on website) |
|Discuss with students their understanding of the Salem Witch Hunts- |
|Assessments/Differentiation: |
| |
|Learning Activity #3: Using 11x17 sheets of paper have students move into groups (or place them yourself depending on classroom community) and |
|work to construct a mind map of some of the issues in our society. |
|Students could focus on issues like power, integrity, peer pressure? |
|Assessments/Differentiation: |
|If available, students could construct this on a laptop. |
|Closure ( 5__min.): |
|Consolidation/Assessment of Learning- |
|Feedback From Students: Using the sticky note I gave you, write down the definition of either Morality or Ethics, AND one of the issues you and |
|your group came up with today. |
|Feedback To Students: Please bring your Crucible text with you tomorrow. |
|Transition To Next Lesson: We will begin tomorrows lesson by learning about Arthur Miller, the author of the Crucible as well as about the Salem|
|Witch Hunts. |
