NYC Teaching Fellows Demo Lesson Guide
Questions to ask in advance:
Questions to ask in advance:
- Is there a specific subject or topic you would like for me to teach? (If there is no specific topic, what are the students currently learning so that I can tailor my lesson to the current lesson.)
- What grade level am I being asked to teach?
- How many students are in the class?
- How much time will I have? Will my lesson be part of a larger lesson (e.g., ten minutes of a class period), or will it fill the entire class period?
- What have students learned in the last week on this subject?
- Is there anything that I should know about the class as I prepare the lesson? (For example, what percentage of the class is achieving at/above/below grade level? What percentage are English language learners? Have special learning needs? etc.)
- What materials or technology is available in the classroom?
- Generic evaluating sources lesson and lunchroom fight from Stanford's Reading Like a Historian
- Something on ABQ, nuclear weapons?
- Something on India? Cricket DBQ
- Zheng He DBQ
- Close reading of a text?
- Article from Newsela?
- Nacirema
- CRAP test for evaluating websites
- A Google a Day websearch
- How to use Google Scholar (lesson 4 advanced)
- Ramayana
- Battle of Thermopylae
- Socrates and the rule of law
- Alexandria library (a terrific article, a denser reading, youtube documentary, sign up to see this, scale up a younger lesson, or with a movie, NYT article on the new Alexandria library) or just a DBQ on Alexander the Great
