In this outcome, you will see how much I focused on how the process of human development and learning occurs, particulary in regards to the engagement of adolescents. Here, I attempt to not just match the standards and content to the age-appropriate level of the adolescent, but I also attempt to change the "skin" of the subject matter. My work focuses on creating a visual metaphor for the material that adolescents will recognize, namely a popular contemporary medium named Glogster.
Attached is a 4MAT Unit & Lesson Plan on "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It was written for the 12th grade level, geared toward students who have a relative desire to learn, but need stimulation and everyday application for the material they are required to learn. Of particular notice is the craftsmanship put into 1R of the unit, the "Hook." Here, the hook was crafted so as to connect the students to the material from the very beginning, so as to give them time throughout the unit to solidify this unit's real-life applications. This is finally reinforced by the activities during the latter half of the unit, which also provides activities for those that need stimulation.
