Comprehensive Reflection

Creating this integrated unit was very time consuming, but extremely helpful. I have

gained so much experience and knowledge on how to create a lesson plan integrating

multiple subjects. I now understand how to connect the standards to the themes of my

lesson plan. It was very hard to create the seven day calendar as I had to move a lot of

my days around in order for the unit to be affective. It was difficult at first to integrate

multiple subjects to a social studies lesson plan, but with more experience and practice

it became easier and almost natural to incorporate another subject within my lesson. I

had fun coming up with activities for my students to complete. It was also difficult to

surround my lesson on one main theme at first, but as I continued my calendar

activities it seemed to all work out and come together perfectly. My service learning

project is a great idea for my lesson plan theme and I would like to use this actual idea

in the future in my own classroom. It was very easy to tie in a childrens literature book

into my unit. The book is what actually helped me complete my unit and give me a

theme! I never realized how much a book could be used to help teach about social

studies or any other subject for that matter. The three part integrated social studies unit

Catherine Bethell

was very well organized and a great way to help a future teacher prepare to create

lesson plans that incorporate multiple subjects. I really liked the lesson plan template

given for this assignment, and I will most likely use it again! Coming up with activities

for seven days was actually kind of hard and I had to keep in mind that this unit is for

the second grade level. I am glad that I was given this opportunity to gain experiences,

skills, and knowledge on how to create an effective unit plan using the Childrens book

I chose!
