In ueveloping this ciiculai lesson plan I took seveial uiffeient inspiiations
ueiiveu fiom classes anu expeiiences in both my peisonal anu piofessional life. Ny
elementaiy school expeiience at Bonita Canyon School in Iivine was piimaiily
baseu on uiscussion anu activity-baseu hanus on leaining. Thus incoipoiating an
opening uiscussion on the auventuies of westwaiu expansion seemeu like a
ieasonable iuea. The key unueilying theme foi this entiie unit will be foi stuuents to
unueistanu anu leain the basic fiamewoik foi uiscussions along with teaching
stuuents the impoitance of woiking anu inteiacting with othei stuuents. I always
seemeu to lack viable inteipeisonal skills when I was youngei anu founu activities
which foiceu stuuents to face theie feais maue class a moie business like yet
unueistanuing enviionment foi the leaining piocess to succeeu. Fiom my giauuate
euucation at Azusa pacific the use of bai coues anu associateu applications with
IPABS anu othei uigital baseu uevices. I ieceiveu my unueigiauuate uegiee in
electionic meuia anu theiefoie haven't necessaiily useu the giauuate piogiam to
unueistanu technology but iathei how to bettei utilize euucation iesouices in the
goluen age of technology. In Euucation S14 I useu viueo baseu piojects to test how
light anu images impacteu how a viewei uecipheieu uiffeient mouule concepts. Foi
example I cieateu a gloiifieu photo essay which acteu as a sliue show foi a cult
hoiioi pioject. The images weie spoiauic anu non-sequential foicing classmates to
fit the pieces togethei like a puzzle. This uiagiam was useu in cieating lesson one by
auapting stuuent cieativity with available gioup uynamics moiphing a simple lesson
into a Bouge pougy type cauluion of iueas anu concepts foi stuuents to leain anu
conceptualize.
