Anticipatory Set (Focus)

A short activity or prompt that focuses the students’ attention before the actual lesson begins.

Used when students enter the room or in a transition.

Warm-up or Bell work

10

10

Purpose (Objective)

The purpose of the lesson Why students need to learn it What they will be able to “do” How they will show learning as a result Create a Product

11

11

Input

The vocabulary, skills and concepts students need to know in order to be successful

12

12

Modeling (Show)

Teacher shows in graphic form or demonstrates what the finished product looks like

Advanced Searching...Use content from standards as search terms

13

13

Guided Practice (Follow Me)

Teacher leads the students through the steps necessary to perform the skill using the Trimodal Approach-

Hear/See/Do

14

14

Checking for Understanding (CFU)

Teacher uses a variety of questioning strategies to check if the students understand and to pace the lesson- move forward/move backwards

Correction or Reteach if needed Acceleration if needed

15

15

Independent Practice

Teacher releases students to practice on their own

Students create a deliverable

• Something that demonstrates their concept mastery

Teach your partner

Optimum learning has not taken place until students can self-correct and discriminate error. If a student can process the steps to perform a skill, teach these steps to someone else while recognizing errors, then more cognitive thinking and understanding have taken place

17

17

Closure

A review or wrap-up of the lesson. “Tell me/show me what you have learned

today”

What is Information Literacy?

• “The ability to access information, evaluate what you find, and use it”

• Access—from using indexes to appropriate search tools to Boolean logic

• Evaluate—from forming focusing questions to taking notes effectively to evaluating Web sites

• Use—responsibly, ethically using information to create a meaningful product

22

22

Nine Information Literacy Standards for Student Learning

Information Literate-Students are able to:

1. Access information efficiently and effectively

3. Use information accurately and creatively

23

23

Independent Learning-Students are able to:4. Pursue information for their own personal

interests

5. Appreciate literature and other creative expressions of information

6. Strive for excellence in information seeking and knowledge generation

From Refdesk: Edit/Find Feature Copying Data to Excel

Strange shapes and textures can be found in the neighborhood of the Cone Nebula. These patterns result from the tumultuous unrest that accompanies the formation of the open cluster of stars known as NGC 2264, the Snowflake cluster. To better understand this process, a detailed image of this region was taken in two colors of infrared light by the orbiting Spitzer Space Telescope. Bright stars from the Snowflake cluster dot the field. These stars soon heat up and destroy the gas and dust mountains in which they formed. One such dust mountain is the famous Cone Nebula, visible in the above image on the left, pointing toward a bright star near the center of the field. The entire NGC 2264 region is located about 2,500 light years away toward the constellation of the Unicorn (Monoceros).
