LEARNING GOALS:
By the end of this lesson, my students will be
able to make better decisions on their own. They will also learn a tremendous amount
regarding business. They will learn how to make better choices in life when
they start their own business and also the process to hire employees.

CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS:
The overall and specific expectations that this
lesson will address are how to make profit and better choices. In FIFA 12,
there is a mode called manager mode which describes when you have a team and
that team is 0.5 stars. The pay depends on the position that a player has. Once
you have earned enough money you can slowly build up your team by buying
better players, such as Ronaldo or Messi thus making your team a 5 star
team.

MINDS ON / HOOK:
How will you grab the student’s attention and get
them focused (in the right mindset) to learn the material you will be
addressing in this lesson? FIFA12 is one of the most well-known sports games
and majority of people love to play it. Moreover it received an award for
being the most popular sports game and also stated that FIFA makes a lot
people smart. The students will play 1 season and simulate the matches for 2 seasons and see
how much star their team gets after 3 seasons. The goal is over 1.5 star. the student will have to write a 1 page reflection on what did they learn from this activity.

ACTION:
What will you get the students to do? (The
activity?). I will get the students to play the manager mode in class instead
of them doing paperwork. They will play 1 season and simulate the other 2. at the end their goal is to make their team reach 1.5 star and higher. FIFA12 manager mode best fits business because in
this mode you can buy and sell players. They will start from a low team and
they have to build up their team. In real business you also start
from a low position andyou slowly build it up..

CONSOLIDATION:
How will you get the students to think about
their learning? How will you assess if you have met the expectations and
goals of the lesson? In FIFA 12, after each win, you can buy a player.
Players like Ronaldo are very expensive so you have to win few matches to be
able to afford them. But slowly you build up your team. By playing this, the
students will think about their learning because if they open their own
business, they can make good choices on who to hire and how much to pay them. in Fifa 12 they will earn money for each time they win, also before playing they will have $500. They will think about their learning because they have to use their money wisely. After 3 seasons if their
team is 1.5 star or more then they passed the activity. At the end they have
to write a 1 page reflection on what part of this activity did they struggle, what did they learn from this activity and lastly what part of of it did they like the most?

ReplyDeleteI think you've got the start of a workable idea, but the lack of expectations and curriculum mean your idea lacks direction, and couldn't be applied in an actual classroom. You had a chance after the classroom critique to revise and improve your lesson, but only came so far as to clarify the goal of the task (get 1.5 stars after 3 seasons). This still needs a lot of work to make it goal-focused (how much fun you have is not a good measure of how much you learned). You still struggle to define just what will be learned by this activity.
