Objective (Explicit):
By the end of the lesson students will be able to identify three similarities and three differences between their
own culture vs the culture of another country.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
Include a copy of the lesson assessment.
Provide exemplar student responses with the level of detail you expect to see.
Assign value to each portion of the response.
10pts – Students presentation was between 5-7 min. (-2 pts for every min. over or under)
30pts – Students provide 3 detailed examples of how their culture is similar to that of the chosen country (-5 pts for
lack of detail per example, and -10 pts per example missing)
30pts – Students provide 3 detailed examples of how their culture is different to that of the chosen country (-5 pts
for lack of detail per example, and -10 pts per example missing)
10pts – Everyone on the team spoke an equal amount of time during the presentation. (-2 pts per person who does
not speak, -1 point is someone spoke less than the others)
10pts – A picture/graphic was provided in every slide (-1 pts per missing picture/graphic)
10pts – Overall work shows effort in trying to answer the guided question (basically free 10pts)
Then I will ask “what do you think other countries might Students will again answer the question, writing down

customs.
The question will then be “Based on your answers, how

Briefly describe the way in which you integrated technology into your lesson plan.
For this lesson plan the students will be using Google Slides in order to create a presentation
for the class. Using the laptops provided by the school, the students will have several days in class to
complete this assignment. Using the internet to look up reliable source and then using those sources
to complete and fill out their presentation. Without the use laptops (or another computer), Google
Slides, or the internet, this lesson would not be possible. The entire lesson revolves around the use of
technology.
Explain how the technology added value to the lesson plan.
Google Slides is the best option for this less because it allows for multiple people to be working
on a presentation in real time. Not only that, but Google Slides also provides students with a way to
communicate outside of the classroom. Google Slides also allows the teacher to easily monitor and
check on the progress of each group. This isn’t even including the creative things you can do with
Google Slides if the students so choose to.
As for the internet, although a library is a good resource, it is limited to what it can provide. The
internet allows for more exploration and, in the event that two groups choose the same subject, it
allows for a wide possibility of what information gets shared.
What ISTE-S standards are aligned?
Student: 3a - Students plan and employ effective research strategies to locate information and
other resources for their intellectual or creative pursuits.
Teacher: 2b - Develop technology-enriched learning environments that enable all students to
pursue their individual curiosities and become active participants in setting their own educational
goals, managing their own learning, and assessing their own progress
