This lesson on communities follows the principles of a goal-oriented instructional design plan that also applies UDL learning principles. The educational need this lesson addresses is helping high school students to learn about, define, and share their community. The author of this lesson will help students accomplish this task by having them interview members of their community, synthesize their information, and share their unique definition with a larger audience using Web 2.0 technology. Because this activity is personal to each student the author encourages her students to take pride in self discovery. This lesson plan is well thought out, organized, and very thorough.
Technical Remarks:
This lesson requires computers, internet access, Web 2.0, and plenty of time in a computer lab for a successful lesson.
Sara Galbreath (Teacher (K-12))
This is a thorough lesson that guides teachers through introducing and building upon student knowledge of communities. I appreciate that this lesson activates student's background knowledge through graphic organizers. I also like that the goal of this lesson is for students to construct their own meaning of community and not simply memorize a definition from a book. This lesson includes interviewing community members, as well as a final presentation at the end.

This is a lesson plan that is intended to familiarize students with the idea of community membership. It is simple to follow and could easily be accomplished by most students. It could also be adapted for use with younger students, perhaps exploring their school community by interviewing students and staff, or their home community by interviewing family members. One thing that I am unclear of is the context in which this would be taught. Is this meant as a sociology lesson, technology lesson, or something else?
Technical Remarks:
The technology used is flexible enough that teachers and students can use the resources they have available in order to successfully implement this lesson plan and complete the project.

This lesson aims to help students learn about, define, and share their community. The authenticity of learning in this lesson is evident because students use real-world examples to create a presentation of their own community. It is a great idea to use multi-media to help students brainstorm about their community. I also like that students interview at least two members of their community for this lesson; thus, this lesson provides students with varied ways to express themselves.
