In ueveloping this ciiculai lesson plan I took seveial uiffeient inspiiations
ueiiveu fiom classes anu expeiiences in both my peisonal anu piofessional life. Ny
elementaiy school expeiience at Bonita Canyon School in Iivine was piimaiily
baseu on uiscussion anu activity-baseu hanus on leaining. Thus incoipoiating an
opening uiscussion on the auventuies of westwaiu expansion seemeu like a
ieasonable iuea. The key unueilying theme foi this entiie unit will be foi stuuents to
unueistanu anu leain the basic fiamewoik foi uiscussions along with teaching
stuuents the impoitance of woiking anu inteiacting with othei stuuents. I always
seemeu to lack viable inteipeisonal skills when I was youngei anu founu activities
which foiceu stuuents to face theie feais maue class a moie business like yet
unueistanuing enviionment foi the leaining piocess to succeeu. Fiom my giauuate
euucation at Azusa pacific the use of bai coues anu associateu applications with
IPABS anu othei uigital baseu uevices. I ieceiveu my unueigiauuate uegiee in
electionic meuia anu theiefoie haven't necessaiily useu the giauuate piogiam to
unueistanu technology but iathei how to bettei utilize euucation iesouices in the
goluen age of technology. In Elementaiy school ieauing was a passion of mine. I ieau
the hobbit in 4th giaue, haiiy pottei in the Sth, anu a vaiiety of othei gieat anu
inspiiational books. It is fiom this love that I exeiciseu the neeu to incoipoiate a
book baseu lesson into my unit plan on westwaiu expansion anu the Lewis anu
Claik auventuie. 0sing iesouices fiom euucation S22 iegaiuing the multiple
intelligence theoiy has been key to this lessons cieation. Baving stuuents
unueistanu the uiffeience in time peiious anu mouein amenities helps stuuents
gain a peispective anu natuially ovei time expanu that peispective thiough
expeiience. When I was in the fifth giaue with my teachei Ns. Besai I iemembei the
incoipoiation of books anu kinesthetically baseu lessons which helpeu stuuents
foiget the classioom anu cieate a moie inuiviuual baseu leaining mentality thiough
healthy competition.
