1. School Rules: The BTW WAY!
Group 2
Date of Lesson
School Rules Day 1
Make sure this slide is completed. Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes only.

2. From which standard is today’s learning taken?
Type the standard in below:
Students will learn the school-rules and procedures at BTW.
TODAY’S TASK:
The Student will illustrate and rewrite the school rules in a pamphlet, and create consequences for each rule.
Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes ONLY.
Once you have written the standard, align TODAY’S TASK to the standard. TODAY’S TASK is also written on another slide AND displayed on the board.
Color code the standard to match the corresponding part of the task that was designed to match that particular part of the standard.
TODAY’S TASK will be the last assignment (ticket-out the door) that students complete.
TODAY’S TASK will show you if students are able to demonstrate the standard with fidelity.
TODAY’S TASK is written using a verb from two different levels of Bloom’s (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation)
Bold and underline the synthesis and evaluation level verbs you use in the task.
*In the ANALYSIS level of Bloom’s, students break down objects or ideas into simpler parts and find evidence to support generalizations. The verbs to use in this level are: analyze, appraise, breakdown, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, diagram, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, identify, illustrate, infer, model, outline, point out, question, relate, select, separate, subdivide, test
*In the SYNTHESIS level of Bloom’s, students compile component ideas into a new whole or propose alternative solutions. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, assemble, categorize, collect, combine, comply, compose, construct, create, design, develop, devise, develop, devise, explain, formulate, generate, plan, prepare, rearrange, reconstruct, relate, reorganize, revise, rewrite, set up, summarize, synthesize, tell, write
*In the EVALUATION level of Bloom’s, students make and defend judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria. The verbs to use in this level are: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose, compare, conclude, contrast, defend, describe, discriminate, estimate, evaluate, explain, judge, justify, interpret, relate, predict, rate, select, summarize, support, value

Read the Following Scenarios and Determine what Rule has been broken:
Dionte came to school on time wearing slide-in shoes, a gray hoodie with drug paraphernalia, and sagging pants. He turned in his cell phone and came prepared for class. What rule is Dionte breaking?
April is in middle school and she came to school on time, she turned in her cell phone at the door, and when she got to her first class she pulled out her snacks and started eating them. What rule did she break? What should she have had in order to have her snacks?
This is the 1st slide seen by students. The time does not begin until you click the slide.
This slide should be “clicked” when the bell rings ending class (there is enough time allotted for students to have 8 minutes to complete bellwork from when the short bell sounds.
Bellwork introduces the lesson or is a warm-up to what students are going to do today. In some cases, bellwork is a review of what happened during the last class period.
Write your bellwork in the space provided. If you are giving students a hand-out to complete, make a notation on this slide.
When this slide is finished, bellwork should be collected BEFORE you go over the answers.
All bellwork must be graded and returned in 24 hours or the grade will not count.

4. Bellwork Breakdown 3 minutes 4 minutes 5 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute
TIME IS UP!
Dionte did not follow the uniform policy. Flip flops and slide ins are not allowed. Drug paraphernalia is not allowed and sagging pants is inappropriate.
Middle school academy is not allowed to bring snacks to school, and if they have snacks for lunch, they must have a lunch box with a LUNCH in it.
Use this time/slide to discuss the correct answers/responses to the bellwork students have just completed. REMEMBER to take up the bellwork BEFORE discussing the bellwork so that you truly know what students know and are able to do.

5. Connection 5 minutes 4 minutes 3 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute
TIME IS UP!
Today, you will learn: Students will learn the school-rules and procedures at BTW.
Why is this important?: Students will have standards of quality for learning and safety, as well as expectations and accountability so that there will be structure and functions necessary to provide the educational needs of students.
Today’s Text: MS and HS Breakfast PPT
Today’s Task: The Student will illustrate and rewrite the school rules in a pamphlet, and create consequences for each rule.
The information on this slide should also be written on the board (this is the white board protocol).
After you have gone over the bellwork, and BEFORE you frontload for the day, you should engage students in this connection slide.
Today, you will learn: This should be written in student-friendly language and should be no more than 10 words total
Why is this important: This should be written in student-friendly language and should have NOTHING to do with EOY testing. Write this statement in no more than 10 words total
Today’s Text: Every lesson should be driven by text. What text will you use to drive this work?
Today’s Task: Copy TODAY’S TASK from slide 2

6. Frontloading 2 minutes 1 minute TIME IS UP!
The Teacher will give students scenario strips and have them place the strips in the correct rule box. Students will be given 4 minutes. The Teacher will lead discussion on this after students figure out which box their scenario fits into.
Introduce the lesson using this slide. How will you hook students and gain their interest? What notes will students be required to take? **students should NEVER be allowed to sit idly while the teacher talks – if it’s important enough for the teacher to write, it’s important enough for the student to write.
Remember that notes (and how students take them, where they keep them, and how they use them again) must be intentional
Use as many of the frontloading slides as necessary (delete what you don’t need), but do not use more than 8 minutes. Additional facilitating will happen in small groups.
Frontloading can happen in any of the following ways:
Activate prior knowledge
Model thought process
I do, we do, you do
Use verbal cues
Motivational context to pique student interest/curiosity
Display historical timeline to offer a context for learning
Model activity students will be asked to complete
Break complex tasks into easier steps
Offer hints/partial solutions to problems
Teach students chants/mnemonic devices to ease memorization of key facts/procedures
Guiding students to make a prediction about what expect to occur
Allow students to contribute their own experiences that relate to the subject/content being discussed
Frontloading presents an opportunity for you to question students. Use question stems from each level of Bloom’s to assist you with creating questions. Write your questions either below or in the comments:

Decide which students will begin in which tier. True differentiation does not require all students to complete all assignments.
The “TIER 1” assignment should utilize verbs from the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s.
*In the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s, students remember/recall previously learned information. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state
The “TIER 2” assignment should utilize verbs from the COMPREHENSION and APPLICATION levels of Bloom’s.
*In the COMPREHENSION level of Bloom’s, students demonstrate an understanding of the facts. The verbs to use in this level are: classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalized, give examples, identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, select, summarize, translate
*In the APPLICATION level of Bloom’s, students apply knowledge to actual situations. The verbs to use in this level are: apply, change, choose, compute, demonstrate, discover, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, manipulate, modify, operate, practice, predict, prepare, produce, relate, schedule, show, sketch, solve, use, write
Today’s Task is simply copied from slide 2 of this presentation. This is the last assignment students will complete before leaving class. Students only have 12 minutes to complete this assignment and timing for this assignment will continue on the next few slides.

*In the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s, students remember/recall previously learned information. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state
The “TIER 2” assignment should utilize verbs from the COMPREHENSION and APPLICATION levels of Bloom’s.
*In the COMPREHENSION level of Bloom’s, students demonstrate an understanding of the facts. The verbs to use in this level are: classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalized, give examples, identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, select, summarize, translate
*In the APPLICATION level of Bloom’s, students apply knowledge to actual situations. The verbs to use in this level are: apply, change, choose, compute, demonstrate, discover, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, manipulate, modify, operate, practice, predict, prepare, produce, relate, schedule, show, sketch, solve, use, write
Today’s Task is simply copied from slide 2 of this presentation. This is the last assignment students will complete before leaving class. Students only have 12 minutes to complete this assignment and timing for this assignment will continue on the next few slides.
