Evidence 1: Inside Story: Your Body, Your Health Lesson Plan (EDT 650)

Rationale 1: This lesson plan was taught to a seventh grade Life Science class. It offered students the opportunity to complete learn about different genetic disorders. Students were asked to research about the genetic disorder of their choosing and create a presentation. Students had an opportunity for enrichment in this lesson to learn more about the genetic disorder they had chosen as well as work collaboratively in a group. Outcomes for student learning were: Review and discuss what they learned about sickle cell anemia, learn about other genetic disorders; and create a presentation to teach about a disorder.

KSD //Throughout this lesson, I was conscientious of the different learning styles. I did work more with visual and auditory learning styles but this was the students’ assessment for the chapter on genetics rather than them having a formal chapter assessment.//
 * 3.K.1 The teacher understands and can identify differences in approaches to learning and performance, i ncluding different learning styles, multiple intelligences, and performance modes, and can design instruction t hat helps use students’ strengths as the basis for growth.**

//As a class, I facilitated a discussion about how the community and society accepts people who have genetic diseases or disorders. The seventh grade talked about the different perspectives of the different genetic diseases in our concluding discussion of the genetic diseases lesson.//
 * 3.D.4 The teacher is sensitive to community and cultural norms.**
