21st Century Lessons


21st Century History

• Organize Ss into groups• Assign each Ss in the group with a specific role• Ss work together to find out information. Each Ss in

group should be an expert on all the answers. • Record a panel discussion of the information. • Upload to a shared forum. • Ask Ss to choose one group to review. With a checklist

Ss review and assess if Ss identified the same factors. • Tech: Video (from webcams or phones), online forum

(LMS), internet research


Example Lesson

• In 1948, in a roughly 3 day period, more than 20 people died, and an additional 7,000 were sickened in the city of Donora.

• Roles: • Details about what happened, why did it happen, find out the science,

find similar examples• Personal stories: Who was involved, who were the villains? Who were

the heroes?• The impact: What were the consequences. How do we see those

consequences today?• What are possible additional solutions to prevent this kind of event?

• Include at least four sources in your final panel discussion. Where did you find your information.


21st Century Art

• Organize Ss into groups• Each group will be responsible for one

introducing an artistic activity the reflects a specific culture in a 15 minutes presentation

• Find the activity, practice the activity, teach the activity together, assess the ability of Ss to do the activity.

• Tech: Recorded presentation (Power point, Prezi, etc) with voice overlay, internet research


Example

• Native American Dream Catchers• Materials: Yarn, Chopsticks• Roles: • Short history, what it is? What is it supposed to do?• Describe how dream catchers became popular today. Why?• What is the significance of the materials?• How could you change the dream catcher to make it reflect a

different culture? What would it look like? What is the significance of the materials you selected?

• Record presentation for class to watch at home. • In the next class, Ss share similar information about a cultural

artifact that has reemerged and become popular or important.


21st Century Math and Science

• Assign groups of three • Have Ss find out an answer to a key question

concerning peers and others in their lives• Allow for a week or more to collect data• Organize and present findings as a group• Tech: Excel (or other database tool like R or

Tableau) for processing data and creating charts and graphs


Example

• Campus survey of eating habits

• Assign groups of 3

• Responsibilities

• Construct a 5 question survey

• Survey included basic demographic questions (gender, age, degree of study)

• Conduct survey with answers from at least 20 students (100 if possible, dream big)

• In groups Ss analyze the data using excel or other program. Answer key questions

• Report findings include charts and graphs– General findings

– Trends

– Differences between male/female/gender neutral respondents

– Differences by age

– Differences by degree of study

– Indicate ideas for changing an unhealthy eating habit based on the findings

– Questions the project generated for future research


21st Century Global Politics

• Assign Ss into groups of 4 or pairs • Present Ss with background details of a difficult current

events situation that has real world impact• Ask Ss to brainstorm 10 potential solutions to the

problem• Have Ss select the top 3 solutions and outline an action

plan that could be used to put the solution into action• Tech: Internet research, presentation with voice overlay,

google docs


Example• DISAPPEARING LANGUAGES• Problem:• Language is the soul of a culture. The survival of a culture may

depend on the language used for rituals and to describe cultural ideas, beliefs, and understandings. What is the impact on culture when its language disappears? By some estimates, of the six thousand languages left on Earth, 90% are expected to disappear or be endangered before the end of this century. Will anyone be able to read the rich literature embodied in the disappearing languages in the years to come? What can governments, institutions, and communities do to preserve endangered languages?*

• Finished project includes:– List of 10 potential solution, top 3 with detailed action plans for how to put the

solution into action. Shared online in a forum. Discussed in class as a jigsaw.
