The second plan furthers ELA for students of poverty (as per Gorski).
Please note that this is a somewhat contrived lesson planning assignment in that it is extremely unlikely that you will prepare lesson plans as specific as these in an actual classroom situation. By giving these two planning assignments, I am asking you to draw upon the readings to help you consider all aspects of lesson planning. Please cite (as per my class policies) any sources you use. You are free to utilize a piece of children’s or young adult literature upon which to base your lessons. However, it is not necessary that the same piece of literature must be used for all lesson plans. To be of the most benefit to you, I would suggest that you consider creating your lesson plans for the grade level(s) you are considering teaching. To make your life as a lesson planner a little easier, I would also suggest that you start by considering which part/parts of a Common Core State Standard you would like to address for your lesson plan and what you want your students to be able to do by the end of the lesson.
Your lesson plans should contain the following information (in the order presented):
- Title of the Lesson
- Grade level
- Duration: in minutes (I am looking here for a single lesson’s worth of planning, not multiple days of planning)
- Objective(s):
Identify the specific student learning objectives you want your students to achieve (what will my students learn), and briefly describe how they will demonstrate that they have achieved them.
- Common Core State Standard(s):
Identify the specific Common Core State Standards or performance indicators you will address in the lesson. This section should be written as a narrative, not a list.
- Community Knowledge:
Describe how you will account for, or incorporate students’ pre-existing knowledge and experiences in the lesson (think in terms of funds of knowledge here), and how that knowledge and experiences will be shared or included in the learning process so that they are engaged as members of a learning community. Please note: you must always assume you are teaching a diverse population of students.
- Procedure (the ‘story’ of the lesson):
Describe:
- How the lesson will begin,
- The activities that will help students to achieve the learning objectives of the lesson,
- The duration of each of the main components of the lesson,
- How transitions will be made between the major components of the lesson,
- How you will conclude the lesson
- Make this detailed enough that I or any of your classmates could teach the lesson
- Resources:
- List all the human and material resources you will need to conduct the lesson. If you create/use worksheets or other learning materials, you must include these with your lesson plan. It should be evident that these resources enhance student learning.
- Assessment:
Describe the methods and strategies you will use to measure student learning throughout the lesson and at its conclusion, what will count as “evidence” of learning, and how the assessment in this lesson will inform instruction on an ongoing basis. Please note: I am looking for assessment that is built into your Procedure.Build your assessment into the Procedure (for example, don’t add an exit slip here, if it’s not already in your Procedure).
- Applications:
Describe how you will help students to apply what they have learned, make connections to other topics, concepts or ideas, and/or extend their learning beyond the lesson.
- Inclusive Instruction:
Describe how the lesson will be inclusive of all students’ strengths and abilities. Please note: Build inclusion/differentiation into your Procedure. Don’t add it here.
I can not have a lesson plan with a worksheet
