Lesson plan

I picked a lesson that I created in my ED 3710 class. I was in my pre-internship in a 4th grade classroom. This lesson is created based on the objective of students determining the meaning of a word that is from their vocabulary words. I was able to design a lesson that is development appropriate for this grade level. The students were exposed to learning experiences through whole group, small group, and parent activities. These activities allowed the students to be engaged cognitively,…

students with special needs. These strategies include: Lesson planning and contextualising, Task analysis, Scaffolding, Explicit teaching and direct instruction, and Differentiated Instruction to enhance content. Lesson Planning and Contextualising Lesson planning and contextualising content is an overall course plan, that will define the mindset and lay out the framework for how lessons and units will be developed (Lenz & Adams, 2006). Lessons need to be thought out, planned, and developed…

Describe your planning process. How did you develop your ideas? Please cite research and/or theory that supports your instructional decision making. I originally wanted my students to write and present a self-written story to demonstrate their understanding of “Benchmark SS.1.6.1 - Describe ways in which your own and other cultures express cultural beliefs and practices through stories and/or legends.” However, I later realized that asking first graders to write a story and present it, all in…

the end of the lesson the students will be able to identify he essential elements of a story. As I entered the classroom, the teacher was beginning her bell ringer. After about five minutes the teacher began to review the bell ringer with the students. The teacher smoothly transition from the bell ringer into her prior review. The students where excited and engaged in the lesson. The teacher’s daily agenda, objective and state standard was posted on the board and her lesson plans were…

and my co-teacher’s is incredible. The target students have struggled with keeping attention during lecture. My co-teachers answer to this problem is repetition. She says the same thing over and over to them until they hear it in their sleep. This lesson allowed me to try and integrate something a little more engaging. I realized early on that the target class has an interest in music and poetry. Utilizing the poem coupled with the activity of laying out each transaction appeared to really make…

I believe the strengths of my lesson were keeping the students on task and including all students in the lesson. I kept students on task by explaining my expectations and showing enthusiasm before the lesson. This made the students aware of their behaviors and became engaged because they sensed my enthusiasm. I grabbed their attention by doing a small version of Simon Says. For example, I said, “If you are ready to learn, touch the sky.” I did 3 of these at a time and reminded the students to…

would find in a typical educational classroom. When preparing lesson plans teachers should create an activity that goes along with the instructed information that allows children to use their surrounding environment. Teachers can use this time to prepare for their reflection of the activity. Paying attention to comments and difficulties during the activity can improve the effectiveness of a reflection time. Of course, all lesson plans are created to ensure learning; therefore, collaboration and…

There is the teacher side of the lesson which is to transmit the information to the students, and there is the student’s side which is to absorb that information. Both sides are equally important but it is the transmitting portion of the lesson that can make a difference. The students should be able to connect each lesson to everyday life. As a teacher you have to be prepared to make alterations to each lesson plan in order to help your students be successful. The success…

consists of 13 lessons, broken down into 3 units, thus each month centers on a specific theme: December focuses on the Christmas story and compels Christians to sacrificially and generously give to God; January examines the marriage relationship and how it could speak about our relationship with God; and February explores the Old Testament festivals which celebrates God’s active involvement in the lives of his people and that such festivals foreshadow the coming of Jesus. Each lesson brings the…

addresses the needs of students both with and without disabilities rather than meeting the needs of just the “average” student. The Universal Design for Learning can be broken down into three principles that teachers can look to as a guide when lesson planning. The first principle, Representation, explains that present material to students in multiple ways so that all students have equal opportunity to learn the material. An example of this could be…
