Creating an Interdisciplinary lesson plan based on a current event
For this assignment you are to create a lesson plan that overlaps multiple content areas like social studies and reading of math and science and have it relate to a current event. I have attached an example of a lesson plan that I created.
I have provided a website and topic to use if you need assisstance https://www.
https://www.theguardian.com/
with topics being math and science-enviornment change and math being temperature and social studies- the geographic areas that affected the polar vortex
Assignment 3: Plan an interdisciplinary lesson that relates to acurrent event. Include in your plan:
- A link to a news story about the current event
- Name of all content area disciplines that you are using inyour plan and why you chose the other discipline as acorollary to your own. If you are a K-6 teacher, choosemore than one discipline, e.g. math and science or mathand art.
- Learning Objectives with links to state standards. Standards addressed should reference your content areaat least one other content area as defined in item 2. (Youmay refer to EDTC 5200 or any other credible resourcesabout learning theory.)
- Warm-Up
- Instructional strategies (remember to use high-yieldstrategies)
- List of materials needed for the lesson
- Assessment plan (include formative and summativeassessments. Formative assessment may be informal, e.g. questioning strategies during the warm-up.)
- Homework, if assigned

Learning objectives
Students will be in a position to understand better on issues concerning the science -environment changes in association to math being temperature and social studies. This will mainly focus on some of the geographic areas that get affected by the polar vortex.
Introduction
- inutes)
This mainly focuses on the world climate and weather forecasting. Through the journal a student will be able to understand the meaning of polar vortex and what are the regions that are mainly affected by the polar vortex.
- Once the students are done reading the journal, ask one of the students to define what polar vortex is and how it takes place, what are the causes of the polar vortex and lastly let them mention the geographic areas that are mainly affected by the weather.
- After the students have tried giving their understanding on the topic, write down on the board on what is polar vortex, the causes of polar vortex and the regions that are mainly affected by polar vortex.
- Draw a figure of the polar vortex. I.e. how it shifts well south to the arctic invasion.
