Lesson Plan Assignment Instructions
Overview
Lesson planning is a key aspect of effective instruction. Lesson planning ranges from long-term planning (such as yearly or unit planning) to short-term planning (such as weekly or daily planning). For this assignment, you will write a daily lesson plan for one grade level/subject.
· If you are pursuing the MAT: Elementary Education, you may focus your lesson on any grade level (K-5) and any one of the four core subject areas (English, Math, Science, Social Studies).
· If you are pursuing the MAT: Middle Grades Education, you may write the plan for any grade level (6-8) and you must write it in the subject area for which you are seeking endorsement.
· If you are pursuing the MAT: Secondary Education, you may write the plan for any grade level (9-12) and you must write it in the subject area for which you are seeking endorsement.

InTASC Model Core Teaching Standards has been provided with this assignment. Write a sentence to show how the InTASC standard(s) applies to your specific lesson.
An example of a correctly written InTASC standard is:
Standard #4: Content Knowledge.
The teacher understands the central concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the discipline(s) he or she teaches and creates learning experiences that make these aspects of the discipline accessible and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content.
Learning Objective(s)
Objective: Write an objective based on your chosen state standard. The objective should be succinct and contain a clear Condition, Performance, and Criterion. Here is an objective example with each part numbered ([1] Condition, [2] Performance, [3] Criterion): [1]
After reading three fictional short stories, [2] the student will correctly identify each story’s main conflict and resolution from a list of choices [3] with 4/6 identified correctly.
Instruction
Launch/Hook/Anticipatory Set: Describe how you will open the lesson. This should capture students’ attention and narrow their focus for the instruction ahead. Ideas for this include telling an interesting story, asking a thought-provoking question, sharing a fun fact, singing a song, or anything else that will meaningfully connect to the instruction.
Instruction/Modeling: This will be one of the most detailed parts of the lesson. Explain very clearly how you will teach the skill/content of the chosen state standard and the objective. To do this, provide a step-by-step description of what you will do (as the teacher) and what students will do. You are encouraged to use numbers or bullet points.
Guided Practice: Describe how students will practice the skill/content taught during Direct Instruction/Modeling. This includes teacher monitoring, support, and feedback. Guided practice is intended to help students
form their learning in a meaningful way, enhancing their understanding and/or accuracy of the skill/content. Guided Practice can also be known as “Supervised Practice”.
Independent Practice: Describe how students will continue practicing the skill/content taught during Direct Instruction/Modeling. This includes less teacher support than Guided practice. Instead, this practice gives students a chance to develop fluency and/or accuracy with the skill/content. This may include an opportunity for the application of the skill/content. Independent Practice can also be known as “Extended Practice”.
Closure: Describe how you will close the lesson. This should tie the lesson together in a meaningful way.
Evidence and Assessment of Student Learning
Diagnostic/Pre-assessment(s): Diagnostic or pre-assessments may be done at the beginning of a lesson or completed prior to the lesson being taught (pre-test, checklist, diagnostic testing). Describe how you will assess prior learning before the lesson.
Formative Assessments/Feedback to Learners: Formative assessments often take place during the lesson and should provide feedback to learners. Often formative assessments take place during your Guided and Independent Practice. Describe how you will assess student learning during the lesson.
Summative Assessment: Summative assessment is the evaluation of the Objective. Describe how you will assess student learning
after the instruction has occurred. This could be in the form of a quiz, test, set of questions, recitation, project, or something else; be certain that this relates directly to the Objective. Note that there may be formative assessments embedded within the instruction areas as students are forming their learning, but the Summative Assessment is the final assessment and link back to the Objective.
Academic Language Demands
Important Note: Detailed information about these areas is found in the edTPA Handbook. Please consult this for important information about each area.
Language Demands: Describe how students use academic language to participate in the learning tasks of the lesson to demonstrate their understanding.
Language Supports: Describe the support(s) that will be in place to help students understand the language demands.
Essential Vocabulary: List vocabulary terms that are essential for students to understand during the lesson.
Luo Soe-Specific Lesson Requirements

Personal (Interests, family backgrounds, experiences, etc.) |
This class has both male and female students; it is composed of different types of family structures. Some students have two-parent households, but more live in single-parent households. Three students live with extended family or other caregivers. The vibrant arts program at the school has resulted in 1/3 of the class participating in the Show Choir and 1/4 participating in the dance program. One-third of the class participates in an organized athletic sport after school (e.g., football, soccer, and cheer), and two students are in Boy Scouts. At least 12 of the students attend after-school programs at the school site, neighborhood community centers, and the local Boys and Girls club. |
Cultural (Traditions, dialects, worldview, literature, arts, etc.) |
English is the primary language for most students, but 3 are ELL. There are 14 females and ten males. About 1/3 of the class attends a Christian church every week. Two students attend a church that is a religion other than Christian. More than 2/3 of the class are economically disadvantaged and receive free or reduced lunch. The class comprises 2/5 students who are Black, 2/5 who are White, and 1/5 who are Latino or Asian. The students visited the college art gallery and museum earlier in the semester; some of those paintings are in the symmetry lesson. |
Community (Landmarks, community events, etc.) |
The city is located on the James River in Central Virginia. It is close to several Civil War landmarks. The city is considered by many to be a college town with a large university and several other smaller colleges. The ocean is about 4 hours away, and Washington DC / NOVA is about 4 hours distance as well. One of the main city employers is a company specializing in nuclear power and renewable energy. That company gives generously to STEAM grants and initiatives in the schools. |
Developmental (Cognitive, physical, social, and emotional) |
The students are pacing well as a class and produce multiple ways of thinking and organizing information with graphic organizers and guided notes. The students cooperate, use partner talk, and share often. One student, who does not like group work, will discuss the required task with his group and then sit elsewhere in the classroom to independently complete his part. |

|
Exceptionalities (special needs [IEPs/504 plans], gifted and talented, accommodations, etc.) |
For the student with the visual disability, the teacher will provide larger print on the handouts. This student can also have proximity seating to the SmartBoard to see the pictures when distinguishing between symmetrical and asymmetrical. For the student with the 504 plan, the teacher will provide extra time to complete the independent practice and summative assessment. To challenge students that have already mastered symmetry, they can proceed to learn about: · Tessellations – students use reflection, rotation, and translation to create tessellations. · They can also complete the extension activity below. |
ELL |
For the three ELL students, the teacher will utilize heterogeneous grouping so that the students are not all in the same groups. The SmartBoard technology will provide a translation for the students. The students can also use Google Translate for everything except the summative assessment. |
Learning Styles/Student Engagement |
Flexible seating – working in pairs for engagement, using class resources (document camera, whiteboards, video clip, paint, paint brushes, etc.) to encourage student engagement. Visual Learners – access to pictures in PowerPoint, use of Guided Notes sheet and highlighters, use of Anchor Chart. Auditory Learners – access to auditory reading of a picture book, access to video on symmetry, and video on lifecycles of butterflies. Kinesthetic Learners – creating shapes on the geoboards, completing the Guided Note sheet, using the individual whiteboards, painting the butterflies to show symmetry, and coloring the picture to show symmetry. |

Tomlinson, C. A. (2017). The instructional design of this lesson is based on differentiated instruction providing varying levels of supports and resources. Differentiated instruction is based on the research of Carol Tomlinson. “In a differentiated classroom, the teacher assumes that different learners have differing needs and proactively plans lessons that provide a variety of ways to get at and express learning” (Tomlinson, 2017, p. 5) Liggett, R. (2017). The impact of use of manipulatives on the math scores of grade 2 students. Also, the use of manipulatives in this lesson (geoboards, whiteboards, paint/model, symmetry grid) is supported by research outcomes that using manipulatives positively affects student achievement. In the study by Liggett (2017), there was support “…for the belief that manipulatives had a positive effect on Grade 2 mathematical achievement in addition tests while controlling for gender, ethnicity and pre-test scores. Consequently, manipulatives do offer benefits to students. This study provides evidence that those students who used mathematical manipulatives performed better on the post-test than those who did not use manipulatives.” (Liggett, 2017, p. 95) |
