For my second Mini Lesson, I'll probably focus on types of number sets within the system of Real Numbers. I want to utilize some of the literacy strategies and I think that would be a good topic to try them on.

I plan to teach lines and slopes. I will begin with a KWL, then teach the types of slope via a FlipGrid video. The students will then answer the 3rd KWL question on Padlet. Last, an engaging Desmos activity on the topic with plenty of visuals, reading and writing.

For my mini-lesson #2, I am planning on doing a segment on an instrument group. I'll most likely make a powerpoint with pictures and short recordings of what each instrument in that group sounds like. Then, I will discuss cultural ties, and use vocabulary squares for my literacy strategy.

For my mini-lesson #2 I plan on discussing the four main eras on music (baroque, classical, romantic, 20th century). I will discuss main aspects of the era and some key figures and composers. For my literacy strategy I am thinking of using a mind-map for the students to take any notes they need to and use it as an assessment tool. If anyone has any suggestions I am open to anything :)

For mini-lesson #2 I plan on taking my concept for my final lesson and condensing it a bit. I will most likely do a powerpoint on Bach which will include some background on his life and career, followed by some audio examples of some of his most famous pieces. For my literacy strategy, I am planning on having students use a mind-map to take notes and then submit a picture of their mind-map as the assessment. Some of these ideas are subject to change but this is my plan thus far.

For mini-lesson #2 I am intending to give a brief overview of Mozart's career and engage students with thought provoking questions. I plan to play about a minute of one of his piano works, get into how he became a musician, and then focus on his choice to perform as freelance for the general public of Vienna, Austria rather than continuing steady employment by the Archbishop in Salzburg. Here is where I'll ask questions like: Would you give up a steady job like his to pursue fame? Was Mozart brave to do this, or do you think he was reckless? (probably simplified). I'll collect responses to the flipgrid as assessment as well!

For mini-lesson #2 I was thinking about doing it based on those who were once enslaved but now free. I will have students compare and contrast the things they can do as free people and the things they weren't allowed to do and then have them define freedom to me.

My plan will be to teach a lesson that addresses common mistakes when writing in English. For example, I will discuss the difference between there, their, and they're. Other examples will potentially be the different uses of than/then, affect/effect, etc. For the student engagement piece, I will have them create their own sentences using the rules discussed.

Any feedback for what can be added would be great :)
I will be working on the distance formula and having students create Vocabulary squares. I plan to do this using an XP Pad so I can show work as I teach the methods I use. I plan to introduce the topic using "I love to watch TV" as it gives the distance from one corner to the other so students can see the correlation with an example of where it can be used.

Hello,
I am doing a CTE lesson called all About Me where students start thinking about what they want to do after High School, and what their life looks like now. I will be using a graphic organizer to help students with literacy. Can you pause it and come back later?

Hey guys. I'm doing my mini-lesson on the original thirteen colonies. I want to incorporate a little geography in my lesson so students can truly understand the history of our nation.

I chose book talk to get more students reading books outside their comfort zone. This book makes you think and believe in your self. I will use white board as my main method of discussion for the book talk.

I was going to talk about the Underground Railroad and focus on the experiences of those using it and operating within it. I have videos I planned on using and was going to have students use the Reading/Retelling/Response method to respond to the content.

For my second mini lesson, I will discuss climate change. Specifically, I will define what it is, cover what causes climate to change, and discuss how climate has changed so far. As a literacy technique, I will have students perform a KWL though the use of guided questions.

For my second mini lesson I plan on teaching the Where I'm From poem and having my students "write" part of their own. I plan on using some kind of fill in the blank graphic organizer. I liked how the example video had images in it, does anyone know how to do that on flipgrid?

You know how English pretends to have rules, but then there are all these crazy irregular exceptions to those rules, exceptions that don't seem to make any sense or have any rhyme or reason to them? Many of these exceptions can be traced back to one cause: one invasion, even one individual human person: William the Conquerer, who brought Norman French to Anglo-Saxon England in 1066 and installed his Norman buddies as lords over the Anglo-Saxon peasantry. Over centuries, the two languages merged into a creole, with vocabulary and grammar from both languages, and that creole became English.

The core of what matters in this lesson is this: Many words we think of as "irregular" (especially the ones that conjugate or decline in the middle -- "goose" -> "geese", "throw" -> "threw", etc) are actually just Anglo-Saxon.

(Words of Anglo-Saxon origin are commonly considered stronger and more emphatic than namby-pamby Norman French ones, like "duck" and "toss". Which is half of why JRR Tolkien tried to use mostly Anglo-Saxon words and avoid French ones in Lord of the Rings. The other half is that he was trying to simulate a native English mythology, and so tried to leave out continental influences as much as possible. (I don't know if Tolkien is a relevant reference to these kids, though, I might leave that bit out.))

(Another example: English has separate words for animals and the meats from those animals because the Anglo-Saxon-speaking peasants raised the animals for the butchers and chefs to make into meat for the tables of the French-speaking Norman nobles. The peasants who raised the cows would probably rarely or never get to eat beef, and the nobles who ate the beef would rarely interact with a cow, so "cow" came into the language from peasant speech and "beef" came into the language from noble speech. (You'd think that this means "cow" should decline in the middle -- and it originally did! to the plural "kine"; "cows" is a more recent imposition of Norman rules onto an Anglo-Saxon word.))

I think knowing a little bit about the history and logic of so-called irregularities could help English language learners a lot.

I plan to teach problem solving by going over one problem I am going to create and then showing multiple strategies and ways to look at it. The goal is to have students not look at a problem one way and that there is many ways to solve almost every math problem if you know what you are looking for.

I had some questions before I watched the example. I was wondering how Flipgrid would look, I was concerned about changing images for lesson. I like the power point and smaller video portion of us. I may change my lesson after watching the video.

I plan to go over Pythagorean theorem of right triangles while having the students fill out a graphic organizer where I have the Pythagorean theorem as the center bubble and then split off into sub topics, and then the students would make notes about each of those sub topics like for example one of the sub topics I plan to do are special triangles like 3-4-5 triangle, and 5-12-13 triangle. I think that I will try to make power point slides to accompany my presentation. I am still brain storming what I want the other sub topics to be that I will go over and am open to suggestions?

I think I will go over political parties and what kind of effect they have on voters.

I plan on teaching slope by showing diagrams and working with vocab squares.  I am hoping to use a whiteboard but am a little nervous on how this will work on flipgrid without seeing how the students are handling the content live.

Technical innovations in music players is the topic I plan to do for my mini-lesson #2. I plan to use a graphic organizer in the form of a timeline to list the music players in the order they were invented. I also plan to use activating background knowledge to make connections with the music players that the students already know about. I liked the example video Professor Kuttesch made on Flipgrid. Does anyone know how she had a video of herself talking on one side of the screen and her slides on the other?

I intend to teach about Slope.
I plan on using my Wacom tablet to write on a virtual whiteboard.
I plan on speaking and writing.
For literacy I would like to do a graphic organizer probably similar to the Frayer model.
Does anyone know of any free whiteboard apps I can use, I am on a budget and don't plan on needing to pay monthly for an account? (I have a Dell, not a mac if that matters)

I intend to use screencastify as well as either slides or powerpoint.

I'm not going to lie here, I'm not exactly sure what this part of this assignment is here. I just want to post so I get credit.

The french revolution video was interesting because it had a nice open ended question "Was it as success". I like that as a hook.

Also, how do you write a comment on flipgrid. I only see the option to record a response.
