21ST CENTURY LITERACIES Introduction One effective component of a layered curriculum is helping students extend their knowledge past the classroom. Students frequently ask, “why do we need to know this?” Layered curriculum can help answer that question because students are often asked to apply their new knowledge in a real-world application at the extension level. This lesson’s extend level focuses on incorporating economic and scientific literacies to a topic that is applicable and interesting to the students in my demographic. Teaching using real life applications does not only make the learning more meaningful but also makes for a more enjoyable and interesting learning environment (Yalçin et al., 2017). While students are not mastering a economic or math standard in this lesson, they are using economic thinking to make connections to their community/economy. Rogers (2014) explains that it is important to lay foundations for economic understanding early in their education. Scientific literacy is a bit more obvious in this lesson. Students will be learning about life cycle and the environment. Even though this lesson focuses on scientific and economic literacies, it also incorporates digital and visual literacy to help increase student engagement. Using these literacies can help increase student motivations because “learning with new literacies is meaningful and connects students’ individual needs to their own lives” (Esperat, 2021, p. 2) TAG Museum Exhibit/Unit Theme: Apples Display/Lesson Title: How do apples grow?

21ST CENTURY LITERACIES  Environmental factor photos  Good/bad apple sort  Paper exit ticket  Chart paper/markers Essential Questions:  How do apples grow?  What external factors can affect apple growth? Content Areas: ELA Science Overview of the Display/Lesson In this lesson, students will learn about how apples grow, what environmental factors can affect apple grow, and how that affects our local economy. Students start by listening to “Watch an Apple Grow” by Kirsten Chang on Epic in a small group setting to introduce the apple growing life cycle. While listening, students will be completing differentiated guided notes with teacher guidance. To promote understanding, the teacher will display photos of environmental factors that affect apple growth such as pests and diseases. Students will engage in a discussion about how those things can affect the apples. They will demonstrate their learning by completing a boom cards activity in which they are given an environmental factor and deciding if it is good for apples or not. For example, sunshine is good, blight is bad. Lastly, to provide higher level thinking, students will be connecting what they have learned about things that affect apples to the apple orchards in our area. What would happen if most or all of our apples had blight? Who would be affected? The students will engage in a discussion while the teacher record their findings on a chart paper. To finish the lesson, students would be given an exit ticket with the following prompt: What is one thing that would be affected by having no/limited apples? They will provide a simple explanation.
