Step 1: Define Content Scope, Learning Objectives, & Instructional Strategies
Main Objective: Students will explore the Earth and its natural resources.
They will be able to understand simply what are the Natural resources of the Earth..
Learning Objectives:

● Define and describe the Earth;
● Have a concrete understanding of the World Natural resources;
● Have a continuous learning process after the lesson with the help of BrainPoP quizzes.
Goal 1:

Content Type Learning Objective Task, Question, or Activity

★ The Earth ★ Involvement of ➔ What is the Earth?

as an active part of ➔ Where am I living on
it. the Earth?

★ Natural Resources ★ Concrete ➔ Do I know what I am

Resources. ➔ What are the natural
resources and how
can I use them?

Step 2: Student’s gain familiarity with new material before class

The pre-class work will set the scene for the in-class activity.
Students instead of just listening to the teacher will have the chance to watch interactive videos
and obtain one sheet that could allow them to have basic sentences that will be printed into their
minds.
Step 3: Activities that motivate students to prepare before class
Students will receive all the needed information before the lesson. They will be asked to provide
simple things during the lesson and they will be guided step by step from the teacher.
They will fill a quiz by using informatics tools.

Step 4: In-class activities that provide students opportunities to deepen understanding
Engagement time: 5 minutes
As students enter the class they will receive from the teacher an information and welcome pack
which will consist into a sheet that will be used for preparing the activity. Teacher will show them
how to work during the lesson and will make a small check in before starting it.
Explanation: 7,5 minutes
The teacher will show to the students the chosen video and will ask them to take 1 or 2 sentences
as notes that will be used in the exploring part of the lesson.
They will also make a quick interactive quiz.
Explore: 10,5 minutes

During this session students will be asked to write on sticky notes one word to summarize “what
is the Earth?”

This part is crucial because during it all the gathered information will be used for creating a sort
of tree of ideas, the harvesting tree.
Student’s working group: 22 minutes

The gathered material will be a crucial part in this session because students receive from the
teacher the needed information to prepare their harvest tree that will be shown at the end of
the class.
One group of students will be working on “what is the Earth?”
The other group instead will be working on “What are the natural resources on the Earth?”

Class conclusion: 5 minutes

Teachers will give home assignment to students for the following lesson, they will also have
the chance to learn some learning platform to keep learning and enjoying even after the class.

Step 5: Post-class activities that extend student learning
The learning experience gained during the class will allow students to create working groups
online based.

This kind of activity will show them that they can all be at the same level, and that they can enjoy
while learning. Non formal education methods can help during this process.

Step 6: Ongoing Evaluation and Assessment
Evaluation and assessment are not going to be based on giving to the students’ marks, rather
they will have more deep knowledge about the topic they are learning.
