Lesson Plan
Grade: Date: 25/02/2026
Subject: Global Perspectives
Lesson Topic: consider how research, engagement with different perspectives and working as part of a team have influenced personal learning
Learning Objective/s:
  • Describe how to evaluate research sources for reliability and relevance.
  • Explain the value of incorporating multiple perspectives in a project.
  • Analyze the impact of teamwork roles and communication on learning outcomes.
  • Apply reflective metacognition to plan improvements for future collaborative work.
Materials Needed:
  • Projector and screen
  • Printed reflection worksheet
  • Source‑evaluation matrix handout
  • Role‑allocation template
  • Digital collaboration platform (e.g., Google Docs)
  • Sticky notes
  • Exit‑ticket cards
 Introduction:
Think about a recent group project—how did the research you gathered and the viewpoints you heard shape what you learned? Students will recall the steps of effective research and the importance of diverse perspectives. By the end of the lesson they will be able to articulate how each element contributed to their learning and demonstrate this in a structured reflection.
Lesson Structure:
  1. Do‑Now (5’) – Students write a quick response to the hook question on sticky notes.
  2. Mini‑lecture (10’) – Review key concepts: research quality, perspective engagement, and teamwork dynamics.
  3. Guided reflection activity (15’) – In pairs, complete the reflection worksheet using a provided case study.
  4. Group discussion (10’) – Share findings, compare research strategies and perspective insights.
  5. Role‑allocation & planning (10’) – Use the role matrix to plan improvements for a future project.
  6. Exit ticket (5’) – Write one actionable change they will implement next time.
Conclusion:
We recap how rigorous research, diverse viewpoints, and effective teamwork deepened understanding and skill development. Students submit their exit tickets, summarising one personal improvement for future projects. For homework, they complete a brief journal entry reflecting on a recent assignment, focusing on research, perspectives, and teamwork.
