Universal  Design  for  Learning  (UDL):      
 
PowerPoint  and  Office  365  provides  students  with  multiple  means  of  representation  by  giving  students  the  
content  in  audio  and  visual  formatting.  These  two  tools  also  provide  students  with  multiple  means  of  
engagement  where  students  are  able  to  collaborate  with  others  on  creating  their  presentation.  Students  are  
able  to  use  their  one  means  of  action  and  expression  of  the  content  by  including  images,  videos,  and  other  
forms  of  media  into  their  PowerPoint  presentation.  Allowing  students  to  work  in  small  groups  designated  by  
the  teacher  gives  each  group  a  variety  of  skill  levels  in  order  for  students  to  learn  from  one  another  through  
the  use  of  different  skills.  Because  the  students  are  able  to  select  the  event  from  Robinson’s  life,  the  students  
will  be  more  engaged  and  excited  to  create  their  product.    
Lesson  idea  implementation:        
 
In  this  lesson,  the  teacher  will  present  the  E-­‐Book  in  a  PowerPoint  presentation  to  the  students  of  the  Life  of  
Jackie  Robinson  at  the  beginning  of  the  class.  After  the  E-­‐Book  is  presented  to  the  students,  the  students  will  
be  placed  in  small  groups.  In  their  groups,  the  students  will  choose  one  event  from  Jackie  Robinson’s  life  and  
will  describe  how  he  demonstrated  positive  citizenship  traits  such  as:  honesty,  dependability,  
trustworthiness,  honor,  civility,  good  sportsmanship,  patience,  and  compassion.  Students  will  research  the  
event  that  was  chosen  by  the  group  as  a  whole  to  find  details  on  how  one  of  the  traits  were  demonstrated.  
The  presentations  will  be  presented  to  the  class  on  Friday  of  that  week.    
 
Throughout  the  week,  students  will  collaborate  with  their  group  members  in  creating  their  presentation  
through  their  Office  365  account.  Students  will  be  able  to  use  any  of  the  URLs  above,  that  is  shared  with  their  
Office  365  account  by  the  teacher.  In  this  lesson  students  are  engaged  in  higher  order  thinking  and  engaged  in  
learning  through  analysis  and  application  of  the  content.  Students  are  to  make  their  decision  as  a  group  on  
what  event  they  want  to  research  further  and  apply  their  prior  knowledge  with  the  new  knowledge  they  find  
in  order  to  describe  how  Robinson  demonstrated  positive  citizenship  traits.  Digital  tools  and  resources  are  
used  in  this  lesson  by  the  students  to  carry  out  a  task  that  was  given  to  them  by  the  teacher.  
 
Reflective  Practice:    
 
I  think  this  activity  will  impact  student  learning  because  the  students  are  able  to  create  their  presentation  
using  their  own  creativity  and  preference  of  event  they  research.  Allowing  flexibility  with  the  product  will  be  
more  engaging  for  the  students.  Students  will  also  be  checking  their  understanding  of  the  character  traits  of  
Jackie  Robinson  through  his  life  events.  
 
This  lesson  is  another  part  of  a  whole  unit  on  Georgians  and  Civil  Rights.  Students  will  be  able  to  work  with  a  
small  group  to  complete  their  presentation  and  will  be  allowed  to  refer  back  to  their  project  and  material  
from  this  lesson  when  creating  a  final  project  at  the  end  of  the  unit.
