1. One large standard for 5th grade Social Studies is: SS5H4: Explain America’s involvement in World War II. It is broken down into 6 subtopics.
a. Describe German aggression in Europe and Japanese aggression in Asia.
b. Describe major events in the war in both Europe and the Pacific; include Pearl Harbor, Iwo Jima, D-Day, VE and VJ Days, and the Holocaust.
c. Discuss President Truman’s decision to drop the atomic bombs on Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
d. Identify Roosevelt, Stalin, Churchill, Hirohito, Truman, Mussolini, and Hitler.
e. Describe the effects of rationing and the changing role of women and African Americans or Blacks; include “Rosie the Riveter” and the Tuskegee Airmen.
f. Explain the role of Eleanor Roosevelt and the U.S. in the formation of the United Nations.
It would be really difficult to teach it in less time. I would combine subtopic e and f if I had less time to teach.
2. Our school does really well overall of describing the objectives of each lesson at the beginning both with virtual students and in-person students. It is a part of the way our lesson plan outline is setup that everyone is expected to use.
3. I recently taught a reading lesson to 2nd graders completely online. Students had to open a link to access our Nearpod lesson, answer two questions, listen to a story, write a response, write a response, answer a question, record a video response, and type a response.
4. As a media specialist, I do not have a typical classroom setup.
a. The default layout is 6 tables (3 in each row) next to poles with electrical outlets. A 7th table is in the back between both rows for classes that exceed 24 students. Our furniture is movable and can be configured to any setup needed for our lessons.
b. We have signs that encourage reading and signs to assist students in locating books in the different sections of the media center. We also have our school's mission statement posted next to the projector screen. I think it would be useful to add digital citizenship signage as well as inspirational quotes about reading.
c. We do not have outdated material posted since our school is only five years old. The only thing I can think to remove would be an inspirational quote in the form of a wall sticker that is above the door of our broadcast room. The middle word fell off more than a year ago so we should remove the rest of it.
