=Sample lesson: STATION 1=

This lesson is meant to be a sample or maybe a template. It is intended to provide an example of how to teach a blended lesson creatively and effectively. I hope it also demonstrates the flexibility that a teacher can have within the prepared online lesson prompts and activities.

(Teacher's view) CAUSE AND EFFECT A LESSON FROM WORLD WAR I

The Big Picture: T//eaching Cause and Effect//**
 * Station 1

__**DEMO**__
==//The goal of this demonstration is to teach cause and effect by exploring students pre-knowledge and making relevant and memorable connections during the face to face time. The demo will showcase what happens before, during and after conflict in a fashion that is more believable and relevant to the students. After this demonstrations, students should want to apply their understanding of Cause and Effect to their study of World War 1//==

On the day of the class, simply begin your class as usual and simply wait for the sparks to fly. To add a touch of realism to the scene, you as the teacher should try to step in. The feuding students will, of course, completely ignore you or even turn the heat toward you. The entire episode, like a real blow up argument, will take less than 90 seconds and will abruptly end when one of the students storms out of the classroom and slams the door. Wait for a couple of beats and then turn to explain to the students what they have really witnessed.
 * Before the lesson**, solicit the help of a couple of students. Tell them that you will be teaching Cause and Effect and explain that they must stage (ad lib) a heated argument in your class during the lesson. You can be creative and/or allow the students to pick a relevant reason for the argument but it must be a heated and convincing scene. Separately, speak to another couple of students and explain to them that there will be a heated argument during class and that one student must try to escalate the conflict by picking a side and the other must try to calm things down. Tell the students that the incident must take place towards the very beginning of the class

Note: Teacher can also use a video taped argument or a portion of a film or tv show that has a relevant argument.

//If the conflict demo was convincing, the incident should elicit a great discussion. Have the students answer and/or comment about the following questions://

 * === Cause and Effect : ===
 * ====== What were some of the causes of the argument? ======
 * ====== What was your immediate reaction ? ======
 * ====== Who did you believe was right? What side did you take? Why? ======
 * ==== **Evaluating** ====
 * ====== How did student A (point at one of the actors) contribute to outcome of the argument? ======
 * ====== How would you have contributed to the argument? What made each party particularly angry? ======
 * ====== What would you have changed about the argument? ======
 * ====== Could this conversation happen without the heated conflict? ======


 * ====** Identifying : **====


 * ===== What series of decisions the all of the participants make to effect the outcome of the argument? =====

__ LECTURE __
====**In this lesson the lecture will be used to parallel the Cause and Effect conflict demo with the lessons in World War I. It is important that you view all the activities in the Moodle online portion of this lesson so that you can relate the student's research and observations throughout your lecture.**====
