Lesson Plan: “Social Media – Thinking Critically about Disability”
Subject: English, Language Arts (and Social Studies)
Grade: 9th–12th
FOCUS OF THE LESSON
The discussion will be determined by specific teacher using the lesson plan.
Many artists handled the death of Stephen Hawking through art; that art used several views and outlooks to illustrate disabilities. The focus of
this lesson is to have students look at and observe two different and opposing pictures, then they are to write down the features of the images
in addition to the relationship that the pictures have to Stephen Hawking and his disability (specifically, his physical disability). There is a good
possibility that some students have seen the pictures, due to the fact that they were taken from Twitter. Components of social studies,
psychology, and art will all be studied by the students during the activity.
RELATIONS TO THEORIES
Piaget’s –
Formal Operation: individuals who are in-between adolescence and adulthood. In the formal operation stage, you can
officially contemplate theoretically and deductively, you’re thinking more scientific-like, you are able to sensibly explain
and find the solutions to nonconcrete problems. You are also able to contemplate various takes and outlooks, in addition
to worries about problems within society, problems you have personally, and justice. Examples would include the fact
that the lesson plan is intended for students grades 9th through 12th.
Vygotsky’s –
Instructed learning: “learners internalize the instructions of the teacher and use these instructions to self-regulate” (page
65). Example would be that the teacher is going to explain the activity to students, allow students to ask questions, then
students will work on their own to complete the assignment/activity.
Erikson’s –
Identity vs Confusion: 13 – 21 years old
In this stage students are in their teens and are working towards finding their feel for their own identity. In order to find
their identities, they must challenge and assess positions then combine them to shape and create a precise identity. If
they don’t find out and explore their identity, they will become disorganized and that will confuse them about who they
really are as a person.

Practical –
