When we think of community one of the first things we think of is a church community. Growing up, faith was always a big part of our lives. Whether it was attending mass on Sunday’s, singing in the church choir or learning about God’s love for us in school. We always valued our faith and knew how important it was to us. That’s why we decided to approach this community as curriculum assignment from a church perspective. We all teach catechism at our local churches. Erica and Juliana teach grades two and three, while Cristina teaches students who are preparing for their confirmation. For the purpose of this assignment we decided to focus on Erica and Juliana’s grade two and three classes. The lesson we decided to teach the students is the fruit of the spirit. The fruit of the spirit is characteristics a Catholic person should have. Each of these characteristics will help make us better people. The characteristics are love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness and gentleness. We thought this would be a good lesson to teach the students because they can use these characteristics to become better individuals in their community.
Once we had the lesson, we had to think of how we were going to teach it to the students. We decided on four tasks: mind map, draw and write worksheet, puzzle piece sentence completion and a skit. After we thought of the tasks we wanted to do, we created lesson plans for each of them (see Appendix A to C). Within the lesson plans we
Mrs. Lawrence: When planning a lesson, I start with the objective. What is it I am supposed to be cover. Once I know, I start with a hook. I access their prior knowledge then I move on with either an example or model. All along I ask questions to make sure the students
With reference to Peta Goldburg’s (2012) Transforming religious education: Implications from the Second Vatican Council, the following discussion will review and critique the important religious education approaches that has had an impact on the Catholic schooling system for the past fifty years, and also help shape the contemporary classroom we teach in today.
The learning outcomes are important. There has to be a reason on why something is being taught, and how it will be useful to the students future. Throughout the paper, I’m going to give you an example of a lesson plan I
By identifying these learning styles a tutor can ensure that the lesson plan become holistic by using a range of resources such as flipcharts, presentations, hand-outs, research activities and giving continuous praise and encouragement to all learners.
What specifically do you want the students to be able to know and/or do by the end of the lesson? (must align with content standard(s) above)
In order to create the lesson plan, the objectives had to be planned first. As per the requirements for the course, I based my learning objectives off of Bloom’s taxonomy with my learning objectives falling under the categories of remembering, understanding,
Lesson Plan: Show the entry event, write down the essential question, do inquiry, set the deadline, answer some questions, let them do research, make blueprints, we will do check-ins every day except the last 3 days we will give them time to do work instead of doing check-ins, try to do journals at the end of every day, after done with research give them materials, let them make a plan, let them build farm, after everyone done with the farm they will present them in front of everyone and explain how a farm works in the presentation, the teachers will grade the
Detailed, step-by-step lesson plan (this section should be very detailed – the bulk of each lesson plan. Make sure lessons are as student-driven/active as possible).
Living in Christian community is a necessity for the everyday life of a Christian. Without community, the Christian has no one else to “sharpen” them, no one else to understand the everyday struggle of living in the world, sharing the Gospel, but not partaking in the sinful ways of the world. In “Life Together”, Dietrich Bonhoeffer explores Christian community, and presents not only the benefits of Christian community, but also the toxins that can destroy the community. Living in Christian community brings incomparable joy and community in and through Jesus Christ, but can be easily lost due to humanistic ideals, or “dreams”.
5. What does living in community expose in our lives and why is this important to our spiritual formation?
Catholic Schools are educational institutions that are devoted to teaching and developing young individuals under the faith and guidance of Jesus Christ (Catholic Education Commission of Western Australia, 2009). Central to the vision of Catholic schools is the belief that Jesus is in the heart of all young Catholic believers (CECWA, 2009). Therefore in order to fulfil the mission and proclaim the gospel students are required to learn about how to live out the life that God intended through the lessons of Jesus Christ (CECWA, 2009). This paper aims to outline unique features that distinguish Catholic education from that of other educational institutions through linking peer-reviewed sources to a school based analysis. The school that will be
I believe during the Content Lesson Plan, having each section explained help when it came to completing the lesson and knowing that I did not have restrictions on the content area for the lesson plan.
To practice lesson planning, create an age appropriate sensory activity for early childhood-aged students. Your lesson plan should include a goal, learning outcomes, materials, and a step-by-step guide on how to complete the activity. You will want to refer back to Lesson 5 to see an example of how to format and create your lesson plan as well as ideas and suggestions.
Reece and Walker (2000) discuss, there are several building blocks to be considered when planning for effective learning. I will discuss the sections of the planning process that need to be considered planning for a lesson.
Analysis of the three identified stages stated on the lesson planner shall take place within this assignment. Links will be shown between the teaching methods that were incorporated in this lesson planner which met particular learning characteristics, traits and needs of the group or an individual(s) and relevant educational and theoretical principles. The lesson planner has been placed in the appendices, as a referral resource, for this assignment.
