Content, Pedagogy, and Technology

Content:
2nd grade
Standard 2
Students will develop a sense of self in relation to families and community.
Objective 2
Examine important aspects of the community and culture that strengthen relationships.
• Compare rural, suburban, and urban communities.
Pedagogy:
I will use guided imagery, a shared writing and my virtual tour to teach the content. This form of pedagogy will help students relate the material to themselves and when students are able to make connections to what they are learning they retain more content.
Technology:
For this lesson I will use a virtual tour to show the different types of communities within Utah. This is a great way for students to visually learn what these communities are really like. This will also help students apply their understanding of the example communities to their own community.
