Lesson 2, Plans Instruction

My goals, objectives, and outcomes in this lesson plan are clearly stated because they explain what I want the students to learn, how I want the students to practice and demonstrate their understanding, and how I know the students have reached or not reached these goals. These goals, objectives, and outcomes are also appropriate for students because the material and work load is at their level (fifth grade) and the technology that is integrated allows the students to have some freedom to demonstrate their creativity by constructing a brochure about their favorite state. Finally, this lesson plan is aligned to state standards because it allows students to identify each state on a United States map (Grade 5, Social Studies, Strand 4, Concept 1, PO 5) while also going beyond the standard to research one of those states.
