The Rise of Islam and the Islamic Empires

This work sample was taught in my minor placement at Harrisburg Middle School. The unit includes 11 lessons in which students were engaged in many group learning activities and projects as well as different teaching strategies that address different learning styles. This unit was taught to a 7th grade social studies class that first learned of Islam as a religion, then they learned of Islamic empires and their achievements.

Minor Work Sample—Grammar

As a part of the student teaching program of NCU, I created a work sample of twelve lessons that I taught to a fifth grade class. These lessons were part of one grammar unit that introduced conjunctions and compound and complex sentences to the students. Along with each lesson plan and the materials required, my work sample also includes assessments of the students, the standards to be met by the students in each lesson, important information about the school environment, and several pieces of reflection on my own teaching experiences during the work sample.
