1. Lesson Plans (Purpose) Purpose- –must cover content of class –needs to be relevant to students –examples: This lesson will help students understand the migration of humpback whale as it relates to the fishing industry This lesson will explain to students how to perform subtraction problems with 0-9 subtrahends. Students will learn the differences between Gore’s and Bush’s education policies

2. Lesson Plans (Objectives) Objectives- –match purpose –Measurable and observable –include time frame example - At the end of the lesson, the students will answer 10 subtraction questions on a teacher made test with 100% accuracy using hands-on manipulatives Write an objective for teaching a student to read words that start with the /r/ sound.

3. Lesson Plan (Materials and time span) Materials- –Must be appropriate for the student’s age and academic level –only use accessible teacher materials example:plastic cups, thin rope, cut-out letters, flip cards for pluses and minus, toothpicks (nothing possibly dangerous) –must be readily available for ease of transitions example:If computer based, state where computers are located. What are pros and cons for using hands-on materials?

4. Lesson Plan (Procedures) Should use previous knowledge (schema) Must apply to the measurable objectives Can work as assessment or independent from assessment. Should be observable Age and grade appropriate

5. Teaching strategies (Mercer & Mercer, 1998) Advanced Organizer I do it We do it You do it Feedback

6. Lesson Plan (Assessment) Must match the objective Know how to assess and the needed criteria for independence at each task. Must be observable What would you use to assess these: –Reading a passage with proper pronunciation on /th/ and /sh/ sounds. –Recall 10 important dates of WWII. –Solve addition problems with 0-9 addends?

7. Lesson Plan (Analysis of mastery) Evaluation criteria –Grade listings –Requirements: Below 80%- need for revision Between 80%-90%- continue at this level Above 90%- move on to multiple variables –Feedback planned: Follow-up in class or out of class planned. When is 100% not appropriate for mastery

8. Application Design a lesson plan for teaching how to learn the differences between the words: –Shirt; ship; think; thick. Design a lesson plan for teaching addition with 5’s. Design a lesson plan for teaching the parts of insects.

9. Summary What components should be included in a lesson plan. Objectives should be ___________ and ________________. Educational materials should be _________.
