When creating a lesson plan for any humanities and social sciences (HASS) subject, the starting point should always focus on the 5 E-Inquiry template. The set of objectives and expectations of the units and lessons ideally derives from this model and helps direct students to access all areas of the taught curriculum. Just like objectives, the final aspect of a unit, assessment, should be clear and connected to expectations and accessible to every student. For foundation year level, the Australian curriculum has a strong focus on self and family. This component is present in many content descriptors in History and other HASS topics. To make the unit of work accessible to all students there needs to be clear links to objectives and other subject areas to include levels of interest and levels of preparation. The first component of the 5e is to commit. While many of the other components are important, this one is often the most important and effective, but also the most difficult to measure in education. The Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership (aitsl) describes engagement as “an ambiguous term; poorly defined and difficult to measure” (Australian Institute for Teaching and School Leadership, n.d.). It's important to remember when planning that commitment doesn't just refer to good behavior; it must concern the student's abilities and his desire to learn. Klem and Connell state in their article that “continuous engagement refers to students' behavior, emotions, and thought processes. Behavioral engagement includes the time students spend working, the intensity of concentration and effort” (Klem and Connell, 2004). The attached historic unit plan uses...... half of sheet......ds for design model. The skills that were to be learned by the students were the first things to be designed into the plan. From there the assessment parts are planned, the assessment is planned second so that the objectives are directly aligned and the understanding can be clearly related across the assessment. The final process is to determine the sequence of lessons and teaching strategies to ensure that students get the most out of each lesson and the unit flows through each topic in succession. (Wiggins and McTighe, 2005) The combination of the two models, Instructional and Backwards by Design of 5E, allows for smooth planning and easily designed lessons and units. Helps an educator return to their KUDs when planning the body and assessment of a unit to ensure their students get the highest level of engagement and understanding possible.
