Lesson Plan for 2/25/19 to 3/1/19

This week we are focusing on Sports and Competition. How do different people become interested in or not interested in sports?  What makes a person good at a sport while another person with equal opportunities does not become good? How does Conflict theory apply to sports?  Our sport will be a game called Star Fleet Battles. I selected this game as I expect non of the student have ever heard of it and thus will start with equal knowledge. A basic rule book will be provided and limited guidance will be provided by me. The Test for this topic will be a classroom discussion over the results of the game play who did well and who did not and the underlaying reasons why. Students are NOT graded on their win/loss record they are graded on participation and the ability to clearly discuss the final outcome.

Lesson Plan for January 21-25

This week we will be looking at groups and social interactions, We will use the game Dungeons and Dragons as a role playing game to assign students to roles in a group. After the group has attempted a mission we will discuss how the different characters played differing role in the accomplishment of the mission.
