In order to keep the students attention I have made the lessons very interactive. I have incorporated many images and video clips in my discussions so that the students can actually see what it is I am teaching them. Students are also given worksheets to work in groups with. The will be very involved with the unit because they will be doing the research themselves and collaborating with their peers to find information. The will also be able to participate in an experiment with will show them with their own eyes what they are learning looks like. This will make it more real and prevalent to them. They will also be able to communicate with each through the Wiki page to encourage collaboration beyond the classroom and to share their thoughts and information.

Students will be evaluated each day through the handouts and worksheets given as well as through periodic polls that I will be able to give online so that I can modify any changes that need to be made. SC.O.B.2.18 and SC.O.B.2.19 will be evaluated by the worksheet that is given out at the end of Day 1. On Day 2 and Day 3, SC.O.B.1.3 and 21C.O.9-12.1.LS.1 will be evaluated through the research that the students do and the worksheet that they complete. It can also be evaluated through the information that the students share in the discussion. 21C.O.9-12.1.LS.3, SC.O.B.1.1 and 21C.O.9-12.2.LS.2 are evaluated through the experiment and the virtual tours in Second Life. It will be evaluated through how smoothly the procedure is done, as well as, the lab reports and conclusions that the students present. SC.O.B.1.6 andSC.O.B.2.20 is evaluated in Day 6 by the final worksheet given to the students. On the last day, 21C.O.9-12.2.LS.2 will be evaluated through the essay that the students post on the Wiki page. This will let me evaluate the overall effectiveness of the unit plan.

For my unit lesson, i have created a slide show to show to my students. This lesson outline what Malaria is, how it effects human beings, as well as the life cycle of the disease. I will go over this presentaion with then and also leave it running for the students to look back at as they are learning and collaborating. You can view this PowerPoint presentation at either Slideshare or click on the attachment below.

Day 1 of the unit plan will be spent reviewing information about viruses, bacteria and parasites and the way that these are categorized through a PowerPoint presentation. After the PowerPoint presentation I will have an online poll to assess what students know about the different diseases. This is to make sure that the students are all ready for the material ahead so that we can modify any changes in the unit before we begin the unit plan. After we determine whether Malaria is a virus, bacteria or a parasite, we will then look at the life cycle of Malaria itself and students will be given a handout to fill out. The worksheet will be an overview of bacteria, viruses, and parasites, as well as, some examples. Students will be allowed to collaborate with each other, look at the textbook, use the websites posted on the Wiki, and review the PowerPoint presentation to complete the assignment. What is not completed by the students must be done as homework.

On Day 3, students will explore the course of Malaria through the software Second Life. The students will use their avatars to explore the life cycle through the interactive classroom I have setup. It will show them how the parasite infects its host, the route that it travels as well as the affect that it has on the body. They will also be able to look inside the cell of a healthy humans red body as well as the red blood cell of some with Malaria. After the student has completed the virtual tours, they will write a paragraph explaining what they saw on the tours and post it on the wiki page.
...
On Day 5, I will take up the worksheets and answer any questions the students may have on the pre-lab worksheets or the experiment before we start. I will then go over the lab procedure for the class again to make sure the directions are clear. In this lab, the students will compare the cells of a healthy red blood cell and the cells of the infected red blood cell by using the microscopes. Students will make observations and write them down in their lab journals and then make a post on their wiki pages on their observations. By posting this on their wiki page, students will be able to compare the outcome of their experiments with other lab groups in the class. They will have a post-lab worksheet to complete either in class or at home.

Day 7-21C.O.9-12.2.LS.2
Day 7 will be spent in the computer lab. Each student will then write a brief essay of what they researched, what they learned and what else they would like to know about Malaria. This essay will then be uploaded to the Wiki so that the students may see each other’s responses and share information and comments. By doing this I will be able to evaluate how well the unit planned worked for the class as well as their reactions to what we did. The class will also be instructed to come up with one PowerPoint slide each to upload to GoogleDocs. This slide will be about the most interesting thing they have learned through the unit plan. The students will have all day to complete this assignment. What is not finished in the class must be finished at home so that we can discuss the wikis and slide show the next day.
