As a Social Science teacher I will employ many research-based instructional strategies in a comprehensive and beneficial Integrated Thematic Unit. First of all, student backgrounds will be considered when creating lesson plans so as to spark interest for all students in the given topic and the broader purpose. For instance, I plan to provide a family history project to the ITU, wherein students read and write about the histories of their families in source documentation and come to understand the science (Punnett Square) and math (2,4,8,16,32,64,etc.) of their genealogy. In presenting their projects students will get to teach one another about the own cultures and family histories. Throughout this process I will maintain a classroom goal structure of High Help and High Perfectionism; ALL students will be given lofty goals and ample assistance to reach them.
