Among the 24 students, one female student has recently transferred from Japan and one of the male students has transferred from Colombia. Both students are fluent in their native language as well as English. Both transfer students also have thick accents. S- State Objectives o We will begin the unit by going over the seven continents as a way to activate prior knowledge. Students will name the seven continents after watching a YouTube video that includes a song and view a picture that has a quick fact about each continent. Students will also begin brainstorming on the continent they would like to choose for their final project with will be presented by the end of the unit. Students will be required to name the seven continents by the end of the day and they will be able to do so with 100% accuracy. S- Select Materials o Students will watch a YouTube video that has a song about the continents to help them remember the names of the continents. A photo will also be viewed that was made using photo shop that also incorporates the continents. Students will also be required to post 1-2 questions that they wish to know the answer to each day on the classroom Facebook page. Time will be permitted in class to do so. U- Utilize Media and Materials o I have previewed the video and the picture to ensure that both are appropriate for the information in which we are studying. Both sources will be shown in the

R- Require Learner Participation o I will encourage classroom discussion after viewing each source. To ensure understanding, I will also encourage students to ask questions and answer them to the best of my ability. A Facebook page will be created for discussion that can be completed outside of the classroom. E- Evaluate and Revise o Before viewing the sources, I will ask students want they know about the continents and what they anticipate to learn throughout the unit. Students will be encouraged to keep a list of questions that they wish to know the answer to and may record the answers as the become available to them.
