Lesson Date

Miscellaneous Information (special considerations for instruction): This instruction is

based on a joint curriculum with 3 other teachers. The premise of the curriculum is
to teach students through an interdisciplinary lens focusing on the content areas of
Math, Earth Science and Business Education.
This is a semester long project based activity answering the driving question of in a
post-apocalyptic world, how does cooperation benefit society?
The premise of the backstory is that the world is restarting after an apocalypse. We
have chosen zombies, however for differentiation purposes the main idea could be
changed to whatever the students are interested in. For example if the group is
interested in earth science we could change it to volcano or astronomy could be a
giant meteor crash.
The current Synopsis: The Walking Living
The year is 2020. The world has been fighting a zombie apocalypse for the last 4
years. With most of or all of the zombies destroyed you are a 1 of 600 people left to
reorganize the world. You and the others need to create a new way of life, form
communities and figure out how to live. The 600 people have been living
separately for a couple of months in groups of 100 people. Each one of the groups
has a specific skill set that could potentially help the other. Each community is
trying to add to their population with people not yet committed but can bring a
valuable skill set to their group
Students will create a sustainable community in which its survival will be
determined by interdependent relations with other communities and intradependent
relation with their own community.
This particular unit will focus on Business Education: Career Development and
computer applications
Instructional Context:

Standards addressed and expectations of students:

(MN State or National Standards)

The Career Development Standards accordingly focus on the following skills:

Assessing personal skills, abilities, and aptitudes for making a good career fit.
Using career resources to explore career opportunities in both domestic and
international markets.
Developing expectations for workplace-related values, such as a strong work
ethic, good working relationships, ability to succeed in culturally diverse environments,
strong communication skills, continual skill improvement, and competence in managing
ones career.
Managing the school-to-work transition, including job-search strategies and
opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Whether the methodology includes informational interviewing, Internet searches, mentoring, job
shadowing, school-to-career initiatives, or cooperative education, these career development
standards are appropriate for all students and all program areas and play an increasingly
important role in the entire educational system.
I. Self-Awareness
Achievement Standard: Assess personal skills, abilities, and aptitudes and personal strengths and
weaknesses as they relate to career exploration and development.

Management

MANAGEMENT is the process of using organizational resources effectively and efficiently to

achieve organizational goals through planning, organizing, leading/directing, and
evaluating/controlling. Management education helps students understand and analyze various
management theories and apply them to the workplace. Management education also helps
students understand basic management functions, their interrelationships, and the organizations
competitive niche.
Successful managers are able to maximize the utilization of human resources. They are leaders
who understand the benefits of teamwork and consensus building inside and outside an
organizations operations. They recognize the importance of technology and information
management in the decision-making process and the value of ethics and social responsibility in
building and maintaining business relationships. And like entrepreneurs, successful managers
know that the ability to discern and respond quickly to changing economic conditions and new
business opportunities is crucial to remaining viable in the marketplace.
These revised standards therefore reflect:
an increased emphasis on the higher-level thinking skills required to successfully
manage people and businesses,
a recognition of the role change management plays in todays organizations,
an appreciation for the importance of ethical and corporate responsibility, and
the necessity of incorporating global perspectives in business today.
I. Management Functions
Achievement Standard: Analyze the management functions and their implementation and
integration within the business environment.
II. Management Theories
Achievement Standard: Analyze management theories and their application within the business
environment.
IV. Personal Management Skills
Achievement Standard: Develop personal management skills to function effectively and
efficiently in a business environment.
Communication
THE AMERICAN ECONOMY is based on a private enterprise system in which
the millions of individual choices made by consumers, workers, and citizens,
in sum, affect the decisions made by business owners and government
officials.
The preservation and effectiveness of such a system depends on the ability
of individuals to make wise economic decisions related to their personal
financial affairs, the successful operation of organizations, and the economic
activities of the country. To make these informed decisions, individuals must
understand how the system operates as well as their own role in the system.

The concepts contained in these standards are important for the successful
management of personal financial and business activities. They link to basic
economic concepts that all students should master, such as the following:
I. Foundations of Communication
Achievement Standard: Communicate in a clear, complete, concise, correct,
and courteous manner on personal and professional levels.
II. Societal Communication
Achievement Standard: Apply basic social communication skills in personal
and professional situations.
III. Workplace Communication
Achievement Standard: Incorporate appropriate leadership and supervision
techniques, customer service strategies, and personal ethics standards to
communicate effectively with various business constituencies.
IV. Technological Communication
Achievement Standard: Use technology to enhance the effectiveness of
communication.
Anticipatory Set:
(The hook - something to excite the students about the subject matter) The
students are currently doing a semester long project involving the creation of new
community. As students enter the classroom they are shown a clip of kick-Ass.

Guided practice and monitoring and assessments:

(Monitor orally individually or together; monitor via written language or via a task
performance; monitor via group sampling or visual answers, e.g. thumbs. Monitor
to know if the students are learning the lesson and the objectives are being met)
During Project and instruction teacher is present and engaged with students.
Teacher uses real life experience when talking about the importance of knowing
oneself. Teacher also will use student stories and experience to guide instruction
and discussion

Independent Practice/Assignment:
(This can be a question or problem for students to ponder on their own or in small
groups or pairs. The aim is to reinforce and extend the learning beyond the lesson
and ideally into real world settings.) Students are continually asking and answering
the question what are my strengths? why am I important? how can I use my
strengths for good? Why is it important to treat everyone with respect and why that
is important?

Closure:
(Statements or actions by you that help students make sense out of what has just
been taught, to help form a coherent picture, to eliminate confusion and frustration,
and to reinforce major points to be learned)

Reflection:
(What worked and didnt work for whom and why? What are instructional next
steps based on the data from this plan?)
