Format Lesson Plan:
Subject
Area: Social Studies
Grade:
7th
Goal: Students will know about
the cultural legacy of democracy for the Greeks, during the period of time from
the 6th century B.C. to the 4th century B.C; then they will be able to begin
comparing it to their current lives, specifically to their school community.
Access: Students will draw a map
of Greece without aids, with the details they remember of the political map we
saw in the last lesson of Greece in the 6th century B.C., and with the most
details they remember of the physical map they replicated from the current
Greece.
New Information: The teacher will present
the topic of democracy for the Greeks, based on the reading students had to do
on the topic, describing how it was born and giving details about its
development during the time frame from the moment it was created until the time
of the suppression of democratic institutions because of Macedonian hegemony in
322 B.C. and will answer students’ questions. Students will individually write
a question regarding something they want to know about the topic, and then
share the question with the class.
Apply: Students will then compare
what they learned about democracy in the Greeks and what they know about
democracy now. They will in pairs make a chart with the following columns:
characteristics of democracy in the Greeks, characteristics of democracy in their
school community, similarities between both, and differences between the two. In
the exercise it has to be clear what they think democracy is about, its
essence, topic in which we will go further in the following class.
Generalization: At the end of the lesson
students will write individually a definition of democracy in their own words
and post it on the wall of the classroom.
