Learning Segment Instructions p.1Learning Segment Instructions p.1

For the Teaching Event, you will plan a learning segment of about two weeks (approximately 8-10 hours of instruction) that is designed to develop students’ abilities to 1) make art (creative expression); 2) analyze, interpret, and evaluate qualities of visual form (artistic perception); 3) understand the contributions artists and art make to culture and society (historical and cultural context); and 4) understand how people make and justify judgments about art objects (aesthetic valuing). The learning segment will include learning objectives for both the curriculum content and the development of academic language related to that content.

The standards, learning objectives, learning tasks, and assessments include vague connections between creative expression, artistic perception, aesthetic valuing, and understanding art in historical and cultural context, but the connection to a central focus is weak.

The Central Focus of the learning segment is proportion, value, mass, and gesture drawing.. The segment focuses on using gesture drawings to understand proportion, mass, and volume. Students will also learn about American Sign Language in this assignment and that will incorporate a cultural context for this segment.

History central focusHistory central focus

The central focus of this lesson is to teach students what contributions the Roman Empire left for the modern world. All around us we see the legacy of the Romans, but most of us do not credit what we see to the Romans. Students need to learn why the Eastern half of the Roman Empire (the Byzantine Empire) survived nearly 100 years longer than the western half. We will study the rise of Christianity, the schism between the Roman Catholics and Eastern Orthodox Christians, the importance of Justinian I and the lasting impact of Justinian’s rule.

The central focus of the learning segment is to graph polynomial functions and find minimum and maximum values. To aid in graphing, students will learn how to use synthetic substitution to quickly evaluate function values. Since most students do not have graphing calculators, I will show them what the graphs look like on Geogebra so they can see quickly and easily what affect changing certain parameters of a function have on its graph.

The learning segment should also develop students’ scientific knowledge by helping them use scientific concepts to make sense of one or more real world phenomena. The learning segment should include learning objectives for both the curriculum content and the development of academic language related to that content.

The central focus of the learning segment revolves encompasses two main parts: the gases that absorb heat from the sun and the main premise behind the greenhouse effect and how it affects conditions for life on Earth.

The learning segment will address both pieces of the academic content standards and allow students the opportunity to investigate, experiment, collect data, and analyze results to better understand the greenhouse effect. With the growing emphasis on conservation and recycling, students can differentiate between the natural greenhouse effect on Earth and the detrimental result of global warming.

The central focus of this learning segment is twofold. One, students will concentrate on identifying theme based upon evidence within a text. Two, students will synthesize information across narrative texts to identify universal themes present and shared between the two short stories this segment concentrates on, namely, “The Sniper” and “Cranes.” [MAR1]   [MAR1]Is there any other bigger picture learning occurring through reading of these texts?

The central focus of my learning segment is for students to learn about and how to discuss many holidays, occasions, and other various celebrations. Students will also learn how to compare and contrast these events among cultures found in the United States and other Spanish speaking countries. The learning segment will also focus on family and friends, and how they participate in these holidays and celebrations. The content is important for my students to learn because they will be exposed to other cultures and see the differences and similarities that exist between the United States, Spain and Latin America. My hope is to broaden their knowledge of the rest of the world and to foster in them an appreciation for other cultures and their unique customs, holidays, and celebrations, as well as describe them in Spanish.

The central focus of the learning segment is to get the Intermediate Band students to really understand the notes they are playing on the page for the two pieces “Trepak” and “Festival of Lights.” I want students to be able to know why the piece they are playing was composed and what purpose it possesses from a historical point and today’s culture. This is important for students to learn so they will be able to make the music they are playing come alive for them as well as the audience.
