Prep:
Prepare the materials: A PowerPoint concerning culture will be created for the students to gain an understanding of culture. With the assistance of an instructional technology coordinator, the Virtual Reality activity will be prepped and ready for student use. Drawing materials and paper will be set on a desk, before the class, so the students can complete their assessment on time when the class arrives at that point in the lesson. Two questions will be created and posted at appropriate times, on Google Classroom, so the students can have access to answer the questions on time.
Prepare the environment: The desks will be set up in a u-shaped format, so all students can fully participate in all aspects of the lesson, and the u-shaped desk arrangement will allow for the appropriate amount of open space for the Virtual Reality activity.
Prepare the learners: Students will be prepared for each aspect of the lesson during the lesson.
Prior Preparation: Students will submit an answer to the question, What is culture?, on Google Classroom that will be due before class begins. This same question will be asked after the lesson, on Google Classroom, and due the next day, so the students' growth of knowledge and understanding of culture can be assessed.
